DLF net plunges 93%

Profit dropped to Rs 159 crore in the three months ended March 31, 2009, from Rs 2,177 crore in the same quarter a year earlier, the New Delhi-based developer said in a statement. This follows a 69 per cent drop in the third-quarter profit.

DLF’s revenues slumped 69 per cent to Rs 1,351 crore from Rs 4,372 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year. Earnings before interest, depreciation, tax and amortisation also plunged 87 per cent, to Rs 384 crore from Rs 2,849 crore, the company said.

During the quarter, revenue from DLF Assets Ltd (DAL) was Rs 322 crore, against Rs 1,845 crore in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. DLF received over Rs 800 crore as advance from DAL during the quarter. The company had suspended further sales to DAL and by the end of the fiscal has not fully completed the originally proposed volume of delivery.

DLF has estimated that its full-year revenue will see an impact of Rs 688 crore because of the discounts it offered to customers of its residential projects in Chennai, Bangalore and Gurgaon. While some of the hit has been recognised in the full year’s operating profit statement, a part of it will be recognised in the next quarter, too, a company official said, without giving details.

The company estimates that it will have to take a hit of Rs 302 crore on its profit before tax because of the stepped-up discounts.

The company’s full-year profit fell 41 per cent to Rs 4,629 crore from Rs 7,812 crore a year earlier, while revenue slid 28 per cent to Rs 10,541 crore from Rs 14,684 crore in the period.

While the company expects the demand scenario in the residential space to improve progressively, the outlook for the commercial business continues to remain weak, given the global cues. DLF also witnessed marginal cancellations in some of its existing pre-leased space across the country.

The company has also decided to exit its large township projects in Bidadi and Dankuni. Similar actions are being contemplated for other long-gestation projects/assets, including hotels, DLF said in the statement.
