LAHORE: The Board of Directors of Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited (PSMC) met on Thursday to review the company’s performance and announce its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
As per financial results, the company posted a loss after tax of Rs941.114million during the period under review as compared to loss after tax of Rs980.744 million during the same period of last year, showing an improvement of 4.04pc.

Hammad Akram, a research analyst at Topline Securities Limited, said that PSMC booked a loss of Rs11.44 per share compared to a loss of Rs11.92 per share in 1Q2019.
Akram added that the loss during the quarter came in higher than industry expectations mainly due to higher finance cost.
The analyst said that the gross margins for the quarter clocked in at 3.23pc vs. 3.25pc in the same period last year.
He stated that during the start of the quarter, PSMC increased prices of all its variants in the range of 4-7pc which helped the company to maintain its gross margin, considering higher fixed cost/unit due to lockdown in the last eight days of March this year.
Akram shared that for the outgoing quarter, total unit sales were down by 63pc YoY and 37pc QoQ.
He opined that the decline in sales was mainly due to higher car prices and interest rates for car financing.
“In 1Q2020, finance cost increased by 3.23x YoY due to the company’s higher working capital requirements amidst higher inventory levels as sales remain slow,” the analyst said.
Akram stated that the company booked a net tax benefit of Rs384 million in 1Q2020.
Who many prices in Suzuki mehran
Alhamdulillah! This corrupt organization should be shut down forever. Like blood sucking leeches they have been sucking blood of Pakistani people by selling third class cars on over price charges. I am so glad that they are losing money in million now.
Love your comment bro
Yes, only of your bills were being paid by the salaries they give to their employees.
Pakistan Suzuki motors looting to the nation, with third class vehicles.
No air bags no abs no all power windows, only front power windows of Wagoner R,what a joke with innocent people of pak. And price comparatively huge difference with other countries.
In haramzadon ke sath aesa hi hina chaye. I wish ye log Q2 main is se double loss main jaen. Awaam ki duan ab asar dikha rahi hain.
To get back in profit must reduces prices of all products including spare parts and service charges almost half.
Then they will get double customers and double prifit.
