Toyota Indus Motor Company (IMC) has announced its financial results for the first nine months of FY 2019-20.
The company posted a profit of Rs. 4.98 billion, showing a decline of 51.41% as compared with Rs. 10.25 billion in the corresponding period of last year.
IMC’s net profit has declined due to a decrease in sales volumes. According to the company, the marked decline in sales and profit for IMC was also a result of the devaluation of the Pakistani Rupee against the US Dollar.
The company’s net sales turnover for the nine months decreased by 35.72% to Rs. 75.83 billion as compared to Rs. 117.97 billion recorded last year. However, the cost of sales of the company decreased by 34% to Rs. 68.05 billion as compared to Rs. 103.05 billion.
The demand for automobiles declined significantly in Pakistan during the period due to a slowdown in the economy, devaluation of the Pakistani rupee against the US Dollar, and a decline in the purchasing power of the consumers. Another reason was high-interest rates, which reduced auto financing and demand was also affected by Additional Custom Duty and FED.
During the nine months, the sales of the company were down by 49% to just 25,300 units as compared with 49,475 units sold last year.
