Haycarb records turnover of USD 27.36 Mn and profit before tax of USD 1.16 Mn for Q1 2018/19
The Sri Lankan multinational Haycarb PLC reported revenue of USD 27.36 Mn and profit before tax of USD 1.16 Mn for the first quarter of 2018/19. The profit after tax stood at USD 1.01 Mn.
Haycarb PLC Managing Director Mr. Rajitha Kariyawasan said that while the company’s initiatives to extend its market reach and the value added portfolio contributed to the noteworthy growth in turnover, the continuing shortages and escalation of charcoal cost in Sri Lanka and India negatively impacted the profitability at both the company and group levels.
He further said, “Even though coconut crop and charcoal supply chain dynamics stabilised in Indonesia, shortages in coconut shell based charcoal supplies are expected to continue in Sri Lanka, India and Thailand in the short term. In this backdrop the company is continuing to focus on the procurement strategy that emphasizes on retention of existing suppliers, broad basing the supply network and supporting low-cost environmental friendly charcoaling methods. Given the formidable supply chain challenges, Haycarb has demonstrated its sourcing capabilities, to continue deliveries to its valued customers without disruption.”
On a separate note, Mr. Kariyawasan said that the growth in the environmental engineering arm Puritas (Pvt.) Ltd. is expected to contribute positively to the profitability of the Group supported by the expected growth in water and waste water treatment projects in Sri Lanka and in the Region.
