Net sales dropped 56.7% to Rs 101.42 crore in Q4 March 2020 from Rs 234.27 crore posted in Q4 March 2019.The company reported an exceptional loss of Rs 134 crore. Mahindra Homes (MHPL), a joint venture of the company, is executing residential projects at NCR and Bengaluru. The residential project in NCR is a joint development with the landowner. The project saw a successful launch in 2015 in a buoyant market. The market has thereafter seen muted demand and declining prices. During the year the company also saw significant cancellations of earlier bookings. Consequently, MHPL has valued its balance inventory as per its accounting policies. Similarly, the company has in turn, based on estimated net present value of forecasted cash flows, provided for impairment of its equity value in MHPL. On a consolidated basis, the impact of impairment is Rs 135 crore, in addition to an impact of Rs 64 crore as share of loss from MHPL JV. This has been done as a matter of prudence considering uncertain market conditions.
The realtor reported a pre-tax loss of Rs 229.45 crore in Q4 March 2020 over a pre-tax profit of RS 35.65 crore in Q4 March 2019.
