HONAUT

Feb 2 (Reuters) - Engineering firm Honeywell Automation India HONE.NS reported a 8.3% fall in third-quarter profit on Monday, as higher expenses more than offset the impact of stronger manufacturing activity.

The firm, the Indian arm of U.S. conglomerate Honeywell International HON.O, offers integrated automation and control services for multiple industries such as oil and gas, infrastructure, and transportation.

India's clean‑energy incentives and industrial upgrade efforts supported new order inflows, while existing orders helped revenues, with revenue from operations rising about 7% to 11.69 billion rupees ($127.8 million) in the three months ended December.

However, the firm's total expenses jumped 7.6% to 10.38 billion rupees on the back of a 16.8% rise in employee benefit expense. As a result, profit declined 8.3% year-on-year to 1.21 billion rupees.

The income was also hit by a one-time charge of 114 million rupees tied to India's newly enacted labour codes, the company said. Profit, excluding the one-time charge and tax expenses, stood flat at 1.76 billion rupees.

Honeywell Automation India's stock, one of the country's most expensive, closed 2% higher to 33,610 rupees, ahead of the results.

The firm's parent company reported a profit beat in the October-December quarter on strong aerospace demand.

Aug 1 (Reuters) - Engineering firm Honeywell Automation India HONE.NS reported a second consecutive quarterly profit fall on Friday, as its expenses rose.

Profit at the Indian arm of U.S. conglomerate Honeywell International HON.O fell 8.7% year-on-year to 1.25 billion rupees ($14.3 million) in the quarter ended June 30.

Honeywell Automation, which provides smart building systems and clean-tech solutions, benefited from increased demand for automation, which boosted its revenue by 23.2% to 11.83 billion rupees.

However, its expenses rose 28.8% to 10.57 billion rupees, weighing on the bottomline.

Cost of materials consumed, which constitutes more than half of the total expenses, jumped more than 50%.

The company does not disclose details about its revenue segmentation or which raw materials it uses.

Honeywell Automation India's stock, one of the country's most expensive, closed 1.2% higher at 39,235 rupees ahead of the results.

Its parent's June-quarter net income was almost at $1.57 billion, it reported on July 24.

BENGALURU, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Engineering firm Honeywell Automation India HONE.NS reported a 20.6% jump in third-quarter profit on Thursday, helped by a surge in government spending on infrastructure.

Profit at the Indian arm of U.S.conglomerate Honeywell International HON.O was 1.28 billion rupees ($15.4 million) for the three months ended Dec. 31, compared with 1.06 billion rupees a year earlier.

The surge in infrastructure spending ahead of the Indian general elections due by May has buoyed the performance of engineering and construction firms.

Revenue from operations grew 5.3% to 10.71 billion rupees, while expenses rose at a slower pace of 2.6% to 9.25 billion rupees.

Growth in expenses had outpaced the rise in revenue in the last four quarters, weighing on profit.

Shares of the company closed 0.7% higher ahead of the results.

Rival KEC International KECL.NS said last week its consolidated third-quarter profit jumped over five times. Siemens SIEM.NS is expected to report its quarterly results next week.

BENGALURU, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Engineering firm Honeywell Automation India HONE.NS reported its slowest profit growth in five quarters on Thursday, as expenses, led by the rising costs, outpaced revenue.

The Indian arm of U.S. conglomerate Honeywell International Inc HON.O reported profit grew a marginal 1.4% to 1.03 billion Indian rupees ($12.46 million) in the first quarter ended June 30.

Revenue rose nearly 19% to 9.32 billion rupees in the June quarter, slower than the 27.2% rise in revenue in the quarter ended March 31.

The growth in total costs, however, remained roughly the same sequentially - expenses rose 22% this quarter, averaging around 20% in the past three quarters.

As a result, the Pune-based company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation margin fell to 12.9% compared with 16.3% last quarter and 15.5% in the year-earlier quarter.

The marginal rise in profit came from a 13% rise in other income. However, the company did not specify what constituted other income.

Shares of Honeywell Automation India closed 1.53% higher at 42,484.05 rupees, ahead of results.
