Raymond Q2 net drops on forex loss

Mumbai, Nov 4 Raymond Ltd has reported 21 per cent drop in net profit at Rs 24 crore in the second quarter of the financial year ended September 30, against Rs 31 crore registered in the same period last year. Sales in the quarter under review were up 27 per cent at Rs 439 crore (Rs 345 crore). The profitability was affected on account of a forex loss of Rs 12 crore due to translation losses on foreign exchange borrowings, as opposed to a translation gain of Rs 8 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. Mr Gautam Hari Singhania, Chairman & Managing Director, Raymond Ltd, said, "Though the current financial turmoil could bring in uncertainties, we are bullish on the consumption story and can sustain our current performance."
