Interloop Limited (ILP) board is scheduled to meet on 30-April, 2024 to discuss company\u2019s 3QFY24 results. Here are the important points from their earnings preview:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expected EPS Decline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the upcoming 3QFY24 results, Interloop Limited (ILP) is anticipated to report an earnings per share (EPS<\/strong>) of Rs0.93<\/strong>. This represents a significant decrease from the Rs6.84<\/strong> reported in the same quarter of the previous year, 3QFY23. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decline in earnings is primarily attributed to the absence of windfall exchange gains experienced last year. In 3QFY23, there was a notable exchange gain, while this year, an exchange loss is expected due to the quarter-on-quarter appreciation of the PKR\/US$. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excluding the impact of exchange gains or losses, a robust revenue growth of 35%<\/strong> is projected. However, despite this growth, there is still an expected YoY decline in EPS by 58%<\/strong>. The Hosiery segment is expected to be the main contributor to revenues, accounting for approximately 80%<\/strong> of the company\u2019s top-line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margin Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In terms of margins, ILP is expected to face some challenges in the upcoming quarter. Gross margins are forecasted to decline by 100<\/strong> basis points (bps) to 27%<\/strong> quarter-on-quarter (QoQ). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several factors contribute to this decline, including a decrease in overall export prices, appreciation of the PKR\/US$ exchange rate, expenses related to the commissioning of new apparel facilities, and increased fuel costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, there will be the impact of full-quarter depreciation and financial charges compared to the previous quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long-Term Growth Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite the anticipated short-term challenges, the long-term growth outlook for Interloop Limited remains positive. Analysts reiterate a Buy rating for ILP with a target price<\/strong> of Rs100<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors contributing to this positive outlook include the expected recovery in export volumes and prices, normalization of PKR\/US$ depreciation, increased revenue contribution and margins from fully commissioned new apparel facilities, and reduced dependence on external financing with expected declines in interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
