In an earnings research report, Asia said Laugfs recorded an impressive gain of 90% for cumulative four quarters of FY11, registering a net earnings of Rs. 1,003 m. It recorded a revenue of Rs. 7,303.9 m for cumulative 4QFY11, which is a 31% increase, relative to the previous year.
The 4QFY11 depicts 27% growth in top-line to reach Rs. 1,983.5 m, which was majorly owing to strong demand for LP gas during the period. Since the company plays a significant role in the industrial bulk gas segment, growth in the leisure and manufacturing industry supported the improvement in top line.
“Forecasted FY12E earnings would remain at Rs. 1,183.3 m whilst we expect FY13E earnings to move up to Rs. 1,602.7 m supported by accelerated growth prospects, mainly in the domestic LP gas segment. Meanwhile, we anticipate the top line to reach Rs. 9,926.3 m in FY11E and Rs. 11,790 m in FY12E respectively,” Asia Wealth Management added.
