Mahindra Logistics profit falls 55% to Rs 10.15 crore in April-June

The revenue during the quarter under review, however, rose 10 per cent to Rs 1,156.66 crore from Rs 1,050.92 crore in the year-ago period

Mumbai: Mahindra Logistics Ltd. (MLL) on Monday said its standalone profit fell 55 per cent to Rs 10.15 crore in June 2024 quarter due to higher startup costs, expenses on manpower and warehouse leasing.

The logistics arm of the Mahindra Group had posted a standalone PAT (profit after tax) of Rs 22.90 crore in the first quarter of fiscal year (FY) 2024, according to a regulatory filing.

The revenue during the quarter under review, however, rose 10 per cent to Rs 1,156.66 crore from Rs 1,050.92 crore in the year-ago period.

Contract logistics experienced a 9 per cent revenue growth year on year in Q1 FY25, while freight forwarding business saw a 12 per cent increase quarter on quarter, driven by a growth in demand for inbound ocean cargo, the company said.

The company said its express business saw an improvement of 2 per cent YoY in terms of revenue and a 16 per cent decline in PAT losses driven by continuous cost optimisation.

At the same time, mobility and last-mile delivery continued their improvement journey, MLL said, adding that warehouse space under management in the third-party logistic (3PL) business stood at over 20 million square feet.

“Despite the muted demand environment, the quarter gone by saw healthy order booking in 3PL and cross border business. The cross-border business saw good traction, driven by a growth in demand for inbound ocean cargo,” said Rampraveen Swaminathan, Managing Director and chief executive officer at Mahindra Logistics Ltd.

The mobility, last mile delivery and auto outbound logistics business 2×2, continued their improvement journey and delivered a healthy performance, he said.

“Earnings were impacted due to extended startup costs, coupled with higher manpower and warehousing lease costs. The Express business was impacted by lower volumes, which was offset by our cost optimisation initiatives. We expect to see strong improvement in the overall operating performance in the later part of the year,” Swaminathan said.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
