(EHPL) ईस्टर्न हाइड्रोपावरको तेस्रो त्रैमासमा २६४ प्रतिशतले नाफा वृद्धि, तर वित्तीय जग अझै कमजोर(EHPL) Eastern Hydropower Sees 264% Profit Surge in Q3, But Financial Foundation Still Shaky

ईस्टर्न हाइड्रोपावर लिमिटेडले आ.व. २०८१/८२ को तेस्रो त्रैमासमा उल्लेखनीय नाफा आर्जन गरेको छ। कम्पनीले यस त्रैमासमा १२.३७ करोड रुपैयाँखुद नाफा कमाएको छ, जुन अघिल्लो वर्षको यही अवधिमा भएको ३.३९ करोड रुपैयाँ नाफाको तुलनामा २६४ प्रतिशतले वृद्धि हो। यो सुधार आम्दानी बढ्नु र केही हदसम्म वित्तीय खर्च नियन्त्रणमा आउनुले भएको देखिन्छ।

कम्पनीको आम्दानी अघिल्लो वर्षको ९३.५२ करोड रुपैयाँ बाट १०४.७१ करोड रुपैयाँ पुगेको छ, जुन ११.९६ प्रतिशतको वृद्धि हो। विद्युत् उत्पादन वा बिक्रीमा सुधार भएको अनुमान गर्न सकिन्छ। तर, यसको विपरित, प्रशासनिक खर्च भने झण्डै दोब्बर भएको छ। अघिल्लो वर्षको १९.८३ लाख रुपैयाँ खर्च यो वर्ष ३७.३१ लाख रुपैयाँ पुगेको छ, जुन ८८.०८ प्रतिशतको वृद्धि हो। यसले कम्पनीको सञ्चालनमा खर्च नियन्त्रणको अभाव देखाउँछ।

वित्तीय पक्षमा केही सुधार देखिएको छ। कुल ऋण तथा उधारो ६३६.१६ करोड रुपैयाँ बाट घटेर ६०६.३१ करोड रुपैयाँ भएको छ, जुन ४.६९ प्रतिशतको कमी हो। यसका साथै, वित्तीय खर्च ४०.५५ करोड रुपैयाँ बाट घटेर ३९.११ करोड रुपैयाँ पुगेको छ, जुन ३.५७ प्रतिशतको कमी हो। यसले नाफा बढ्नमा सहयोग गरेको अनुमान गर्न सकिन्छ।

कम्पनीको प्रति सेयर आम्दानी (EPS) अघिल्लो वर्षको ०.७३ रुपैयाँ बाट २.६६ रुपैयाँ पुगेको छ, जुन नाफाको वृद्धिसँग मेल खान्छ। यद्यपि, कम्पनीको प्रति सेयर नेटवर्थ ७४.२८ रुपैयाँ बाट घटेर ७३.५२ रुपैयाँ पुगेको छ, जसको कारण अघिल्लो वर्षका नकारात्मक संचित घाटा हुन सक्छन्। हाल कम्पनीको रिजर्भ तथा सरप्लस पनि नकारात्मक नै छ, जुन अघिल्लो वर्षको -१५९.४६ करोड रुपैयाँ बाट बढेर -१६४.१९ करोड रुपैयाँपुगेको छ।

नेप्सेमा कम्पनीको शेयर मूल्य यस त्रैमासको अन्त्यसम्ममा ३७८.६६ रुपैयाँ रहेको छ। कम्पनीको मूल्य/आर्जन (P/E) अनुपात १४२.३२ गुणा रहेको छ, जुन अत्यधिक उच्च मानिन्छ। यसले बजारमा उच्च आशा राखिएको देखिन्छ, तर यति महँगो मूल्यलाई कायम राख्न कम्पनीले आगामी त्रैमासहरूमा अझै सुधार गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ।

कम्पनीको सम्पत्तिमा पनि केही वृद्धि देखिएको छ। अघिल्लो वर्षको ८.४५ लाख रुपैयाँ बराबरको सम्पत्ति यो त्रैमासमा १०.६३ लाख रुपैयाँ पुगेको छ, जुन २५.७६ प्रतिशतको वृद्धि हो। यसले सम्भवतः नयाँ परियोजनामा लगानी गरिएको संकेत दिन्छ। कम्पनीको चुक्ता पूँजी भने अघिल्लो वर्षको जस्तै ६२० करोड रुपैयाँ नै कायम छ।

समग्रमा हेर्दा, ईस्टर्न हाइड्रोपावरले तेस्रो त्रैमासमा नाफाको हिसाबले उल्लेखनीय सुधार गरेको देखिन्छ। तर, खर्च व्यवस्थापन, नकारात्मक रिजर्भ, र अत्यधिक मूल्यांकन जस्ता चुनौतीहरू अझै बाँकी छन्। दीर्घकालीन लगानीकर्ता र वित्तीय सुदृढताको लागि कम्पनीले निरन्तर मुनाफा कायम राख्नुका साथै खर्चमा कटौती गर्नु आवश्यक छ।

Eastern Hydropower Limited has posted an impressive rise in profitability for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2081/82, with net profit soaring to Rs. 12.37 million from Rs. 3.39 million in the same quarter last year — a sharp increase of 264%. This jump in net earnings reflects improved revenue generation and slightly better cost control on the financing front.

Revenue for the quarter stood at Rs. 104.71 million, an 11.96% increase compared to Rs. 93.52 million a year ago. The rise indicates that the company has either generated more electricity, sold it at better rates, or both. However, this gain comes alongside a massive jump in administrative expenses, which nearly doubled to Rs. 3.73 million from Rs. 1.98 million — an 88.08% increase. This raises red flags about operational efficiency and cost discipline, especially for a company still struggling to clean up its balance sheet.

On the financing side, the company made some modest progress. Finance costs dropped by 3.57%, from Rs. 40.55 million to Rs. 39.11 million. Additionally, total loans and borrowings were brought down from Rs. 636.16 million to Rs. 606.31 million, marking a 4.69% reduction. This may have contributed to easing the burden of interest payments, thereby supporting profitability.

The earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter rose to Rs. 2.66 from just Rs. 0.73 the previous year, reflecting the surge in net income. Despite this, the company’s net worth per share declined slightly to Rs. 73.52 from Rs. 74.28, which suggests that accumulated past losses are still dragging down shareholder value. This is further confirmed by the reserve and surplus figure, which remains in the negative at Rs. -164.19 million, a deterioration from last year’s Rs. -159.45 million.

From an investor’s perspective, the stock’s performance is particularly interesting. Eastern Hydropower’s market price stood at Rs. 378.66 at the end of Q3, placing its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio at a high 142.32 times. While this could indicate strong investor confidence or speculation, it also suggests that the stock is highly priced relative to its earnings, which might be risky if profit growth does not sustain.

In terms of assets, investment in property, plant, and equipment increased by 25.76%, from Rs. 845.34 thousand to Rs. 1,063.07 thousand. This may reflect new infrastructure developments or upgrades that could contribute to higher future revenue, although the scale of increase is modest relative to the company's overall size. The company’s paid-up capital remained unchanged at Rs. 620 million.

Overall, Eastern Hydropower’s Q3 performance paints a mixed picture. On one hand, the company has significantly boosted its earnings and slightly improved its debt position. On the other, it continues to carry historical losses, rising administrative costs, and a valuation that could be considered overheated. Sustained profitability, better cost management, and improved equity health will be crucial for long-term investor confidence and financial stability.
