Ghorahi Cement Industry Limited has published its unaudited financial report for the third quarter of the current fiscal year, showing a significant reduction in losses despite the ongoing slowdown in Nepal’s construction sector.
Revenue and Profit Trend
Operating Revenue
The company recorded operating revenue of Rs. 3.55 Arba as of the end of Chaitra in the current fiscal year. During the same period last fiscal year, the company had reported revenue of Rs. 3.52 Arba.
Net Loss
Although the company remains in a net loss position, the loss has narrowed considerably. Ghorahi Cement reported a net loss of Rs. 15.86 Crores, compared to a much larger loss of Rs. 55.43 Crores during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
Operating Profit
The company generated an operating profit of Rs. 31.55 Crores during the review period, marking a substantial improvement from only Rs. 1.73 Crores recorded in the same period last year.
Key Financial Indicators
The latest financial results indicate improved operational efficiency and stronger cost control measures, helping the company reduce its overall losses.
Analytical Highlights
Improved Cost Management
One of the major reasons behind the improved financial performance is better cost management. Administrative and selling expenses declined significantly from Rs. 19.79 Crores in the previous fiscal year to Rs. 13.84 Crores in the current period.
This reduction in operational expenses contributed directly to the sharp rise in operating profit.
Financial Expenses Still a Major Burden
Despite operational improvements, the company continues to face pressure from high financial costs. Interest and financing expenses stood at Rs. 49.18 Crores during the review period.
However, this is still an improvement compared to Rs. 68.87 Crores in financial expenses reported during the same period last year.
Industry Challenges Continue
The company identified several ongoing challenges affecting the cement industry, including:
- Slowdown in construction activities
- Intense market competition
- Fluctuating raw material prices
These factors continue to impact overall profitability and market performance.
Overall Outlook
While Ghorahi Cement Industry Limited remains in a loss-making position, the latest quarterly report shows notable operational improvement and better financial discipline. The significant reduction in losses and stronger operating profit suggest gradual recovery potential if construction demand improves in the coming quarters.
