Canadian auto parts maker Linamar’s cost controls help post smaller loss

Canadian auto parts maker Linamar’s cost controls help post smaller loss
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
LNR.TO on Thursday posted a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss, as the Canadian auto parts maker kept a tight lid on costs to weather the demand fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The company, which supplies to General Motors GM.N, also pointed to a strengthening return in volumes as automotive production in North America and Europe restarted in May.

“We are through the toughest part and now laser-focused on restarting… and recovering,” Chief Executive Linda Hasenfratz said.

Still, a resurgence in new coronavirus cases in southern and southwestern U.S. states has cast a shadow over the prospect of a quick recovery in the automotive market.

Sales in the company’s industrial unit fell 56.7% to C$259.2 million in the second quarter ended June 30, while they dropped 55.3% in its transportation division due to shutdowns during the pandemic.

Total sales plunged 55.7% to C$923.6 million.

The company’s net loss was C$37.9 million ($28.50 million), or 58 Canadian cents per share, compared to a net profit of C$150.2 million, or C$2.28 per share, a year earlier.

Excluding items, the company posted a loss of 34 Canadian cents per share, compared with analysts’ average estimates of a loss of 80 Canadian cents.

The company said it cut capital expenditure by 81% to C$24.0 million in the second quarter and had C$1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents and available credit at the end of June 30.
