Sri Lanka Haycarb March net up 19-pct
May 11, 2012 (LBO) - Sri Lanka's Haycarb, an activated carbon maker which factories in Thailand and Indonesia said profits grew 19.3 percent to 132 million rupees in the March 2011 quarter with production running at full capacity.

The firm reported earnings of 4.47 rupees per share for the quarter. For the year to March 2012, it reported earnings of 18.14 rupees on profits of 539 million rupees, which grew 7 percent from a year earlier.
Finance costs rose to 176 million rupees during the year up from 23 million rupees a year earlier, due to higher borrowings and a 77 million forex loss. At company level the forex loss was 84 million rupees.

"An increase in furnace oil prices in February 2012, combined with a hike in January of electricity tariffs and wage increases… will impose an additional estimated cost of over Rs 175 million per annum," Haycarb managing director Rajitha Kariyawasan said in a statement.

"The significant devaluation of the Sri Lankan currency will help us to offset some of these cost challenges in Sri Lanka, our largest manufacturing base."

An export firm can make more rupees on dollar priced exports and make more rupee profits by effectively paying lower real wages to workers nullifying wage increases.

Even domestic raw materials which are not internationally traded, will eventually catch up to the currency depreciation and prices of traded raw materials will catch up very quickly. Real wages can also catch up.
A firm will also have to spend more money on capital expenditure in the future though it may benefit from an effective real lowering of rupee denominated loans.

Sri Lanka's rupee fell partly due delayed increases in energy prices, where state enterprises used credit to pay for imported petroleum, putting pressure on a dollar peg.

Group revenues in the quarter rose 56 percent to 2.6 billion rupees, and costs rose at a faster 64 percent to 2.0 billion rupees, but the group managed to grow gross margins by a slower 31 percent to 570 million rupees.

The firm had invested 782 million in capital expenditure and was planning new plants in Indonesia and India.

Group long term loans denominated in rupees rose to 366 million rupees from 12.5 billion a year earlier, and short term borrowing to 1.3 billion rupees from 423 million rupees.

"The demand outlook for Haycarb’s high quality activated carbon from all our facilities remains strong," Kariyawasan said.

"With maximum capacity utilization we are concentrating more and more on high value and high margin products, applications and strategic customers, providing a much better value proposition."

Amana Takafull makes losses
Sri Lanka’s Amana Takafull PLC has recorded a Rs. 109.3 million loss during the financial year 2011, owing to the impact caused by increased claims and volatility in investments.

“Increased claims, volatility in investments, especially equities and gold in the latter half of the year, took its toll on profitability, resulting in negative bottom-line”, Chairman of the Amana Takafull PLC Tyeab Akbarally stated in the company’s annual report.

However, the revenues from the company’s local business operations have grown from Rs. 917 million in 2010 to Rs. 1,269 million in 2011, recording a growth of 38.4%.

The firm’s local general business has grown up to Rs. 965.3 million during the reference year, from Rs. 676.9 million recorded in 2010, which is a growth of 42.6%.

“Similarly Life business grew by 26.5 percent which amounts to Rs. 64.0 million, by recording a gross written premium of Rs. 304.0 million compared Rs. 240.0 million in 2010”, added the Chairman in his review.

Amana Takafull says its subsidiaries, Amana Global, Amana Takaful Maldives and IGL have contributed positively to the Group.

According to Akbarally, lack of investment options for the firm still persists.

“Equity and bullion being volatile investments where fortunes can swing ways, the Islamic finance system and especially Takaful requires more avenues of investments in the form of Islamic Bonds and relaxation of rules to invest in Islamic finance windows in banks, where there is low volatility” says Akbarally.
