The revenues were up due to a seven percent increase in the sales volume to 24,072 units during MY21, as compared to 22,417 units sold in MY20. The main reason behind the increase in its profits was growing sales as the volumes bounced back due to attractive auto-financing rates and the release of pent-up demand with lower finance costs. Another reason for it was the higher car prices charged by the company for the period.

The cost of sales in MY21 was reported at Rs. 63.58 billion, up by 24.80 percent, compared to Rs. 50.95 billion. This took the gross profits to Rs. 3.77 billion, down by 7.82 percent, as compared to Rs. 4.09 billion.

The other income of the company was increased by 44 percent to Rs. 918.48 million, as compared to Rs. 638.61 million in the previous year due to the increase in the new car bookings.

Due to a decrease in the interest rates during the period, the financing cost of the company decreased by 84.03 percent to Rs. 116.15 million, as compared to Rs. 727.44 million during the year.

The company’s earnings per share had increased from Rs. 4.77 to Rs. 12.56 during MY21.
