नेपाल वेयरहाउजिङ कम्पनीको आम्दानीमा तीव्र गिरावट, नोक्सानी भने घट्योNepal Warehousing Company Sees Sharp Revenue Decline, Losses Narrow in Second Quarter
नेपाल वेयरहाउजिङ कम्पनी लिमिटेड ले चालु आर्थिक वर्षको दोस्रो त्रैमाससम्मको अपरिष्कृत वित्तीय विवरण सार्वजनिक गरेको छ। विवरणअनुसार कम्पनीको सञ्चालन आम्दानी अघिल्लो वर्षको तुलनामा उल्लेख्य रूपमा घटेको छ, जसले कम्पनीको व्यवसायिक गतिविधिमा आएको सुस्तता झल्काएको छ।
गत आर्थिक वर्षको पहिलो छ महिनामा ३१ करोड ५० लाख रुपैयाँ आम्दानी गरेको कम्पनीले यस वर्ष सोही अवधिमा मात्र ४ करोड २४ लाख रुपैयाँ आम्दानी गरेको छ। आम्दानीमा आएको यो ठूलो गिरावटले कम्पनीको सञ्चालन क्षमतामाथि प्रश्न उठाएको विश्लेषकहरूको भनाइ छ।
कम्पनीका अनुसार साइलोमा भण्डारण गरिएको अन्नको भुक्तानी माग बढ्दै जाँदा मौज्दात घट्दै गएको छ। साथै, वेयरहाउस रिसिप्ट प्रणाली समयमै पूर्ण रूपमा कार्यान्वयन हुन नसक्दा अपेक्षित आम्दानी हासिल गर्न नसकेको जनाएको छ। यी कारणले कम्पनीको नियमित आम्दानी स्रोत कमजोर बनेको देखिन्छ।
यद्यपि आम्दानी घटे पनि कम्पनीको नोक्सानी भने अघिल्लो वर्षको तुलनामा कम भएको छ। गत वर्ष दोस्रो त्रैमाससम्म ५ करोड ७४ लाख रुपैयाँ नोक्सानीमा रहेको कम्पनी यस वर्ष सोही अवधिमा २ करोड ९ लाख रुपैयाँ नोक्सानीमा सीमित भएको छ।
कम्पनीले खर्च नियन्त्रणमा जोड दिएपछि नोक्सानी घट्न सहयोग पुगेको जनाएको छ। सञ्चालन खर्च, प्रशासनिक खर्च तथा अन्य अनावश्यक खर्च कटौती गर्दा घाटा कम गर्न सम्भव भएको व्यवस्थापनको दाबी छ।
पुस मसान्तसम्म कम्पनीको वार्षिक प्रतिशेयर आम्दानी ६ रुपैयाँ ९ पैसा ऋणात्मक रहेको छ, जसले कम्पनी अझै नाफामा जान नसकेको संकेत गर्दछ। त्यस्तै, प्रतिशेयर नेटवर्थ १०१ रुपैयाँ २४ पैसा कायम भएको छ।
हाल कम्पनीको चुक्ता पूँजी ६८ करोड ७५ लाख रुपैयाँ रहेको छ भने अन्य इक्विटी २० करोड २५ लाख रुपैयाँ ऋणात्मक देखिएको छ। नकारात्मक इक्विटीले कम्पनीको वित्तीय अवस्थामाथि दबाब रहेको देखाउँछ।
विशेषज्ञहरूका अनुसार वेयरहाउस रिसिप्ट प्रणाली प्रभावकारी रूपमा लागू गर्न सकेमा कम्पनीको आम्दानी संरचना सुधार हुन सक्ने सम्भावना छ। यसले किसान, व्यापारी र वित्तीय संस्थाबीचको कारोबार सहज बनाउँदै कम्पनीको व्यवसाय विस्तारमा सहयोग पुर्याउन सक्छ।
त्यसैगरी, भण्डारण क्षमता विस्तार, सेवा विविधीकरण र निजी क्षेत्रसँग सहकार्य बढाउन सकेमा कम्पनीको वित्तीय अवस्था क्रमशः सुदृढ हुँदै जाने अपेक्षा गरिएको छ।
हालको विवरणले नेपाल वेयरहाउजिङ कम्पनी आम्दानीको दबाबमा रहे पनि खर्च व्यवस्थापनमार्फत घाटा घटाउने दिशामा अघि बढिरहेको संकेत गरेको छ। आगामी दिनमा संरचनात्मक सुधार र नीतिगत सहजीकरण भएमा कम्पनी पुनः सबल बन्दै जाने विश्वास बजार विश्लेषकहरूको छ।
Nepal Warehousing Company Limited has published its unaudited financial statement for the second quarter of the current fiscal year, revealing a sharp decline in operating income. The report shows that the company’s business activities have slowed significantly compared to the previous year, raising concerns about its revenue sustainability.
During the first six months of the last fiscal year, the company had earned NPR 315 million in operating income. However, in the same period of the current fiscal year, its income dropped drastically to just NPR 42.4 million. This steep fall reflects weakening operational performance and reduced utilization of storage facilities.
According to the company, the decline in revenue is mainly due to rising payment demands for grains stored in silos, which has reduced stock levels. In addition, the warehouse receipt system has not been implemented effectively and on time, limiting the company’s ability to generate expected income. As a result, key revenue sources have remained under pressure.
Despite the sharp fall in income, the company has managed to reduce its overall losses. In the second quarter of the previous fiscal year, Nepal Warehousing Company had recorded a loss of NPR 57.4 million. This year, the loss has narrowed to NPR 20.9 million during the same period.
The company attributes this improvement to strict cost-control measures. By reducing administrative, operational, and other overhead expenses, management has been able to limit financial damage despite weak earnings. Analysts view this as a positive step toward improving financial discipline.
As of mid-Poush, the company’s annual earnings per share (EPS) stood at negative NPR 6.09, indicating that it is still operating at a loss. Meanwhile, its net worth per share was recorded at NPR 101.24, suggesting that the company retains some underlying asset strength despite ongoing challenges.
The company’s paid-up capital currently stands at NPR 687.5 million. However, its other equity has turned negative at NPR 202.5 million, reflecting accumulated losses over the years. This negative equity position highlights continued financial pressure and the need for structural reforms.
Financial experts say the effective implementation of the warehouse receipt system could play a key role in improving the company’s performance. If properly enforced, the system could strengthen links between farmers, traders, and financial institutions, helping to boost storage demand and revenue generation.
In addition, expanding storage capacity, diversifying services, and increasing cooperation with the private sector could help improve long-term sustainability. Improving logistics efficiency and adopting digital systems are also seen as important steps for modernization.
Overall, the latest financial results indicate that Nepal Warehousing Company is facing serious revenue challenges but is making progress in controlling losses. While cost management has provided short-term relief, analysts stress that long-term recovery will depend on policy support, operational reforms, and effective implementation of market-oriented systems.
Market observers believe that with timely reforms and improved governance, the company still has the potential to regain stability and strengthen its role in Nepal’s agricultural supply chain in the coming years.
