HONAUT

Feb 7 (Reuters) - Engineering firm Honeywell Automation India HONE.NS reported a weak third-quarter profit growth on Friday, hurt by slowing infrastructure demand due to sluggish economic growth.

The Indian unit of U.S. conglomerate Honeywell International HON.O reported a 3.3% year-on-year rise in profit to 1.32 billion rupees ($15.1 million) for the October-to-December quarter.

The company, which provides building automation solutions to industrial clients and designs emission-curbing products, had posted a 20.5% rise in profit in the same quarter a year earlier.

Domestic capital goods companies have been hurt by sluggish infrastructure demand due to an economic slowdown, with manufacturing activity in December growing at its weakest pace in 2024.

As a result, Honeywell Automation's revenue from operations rose 1.8% to 10.91 billion rupees. It does not provide a breakdown of its revenues.

Honeywell International reported a 1.7% rise in its December-quarter net income on Thursday. The conglomerate said it would separate its aerospace and automation businesses into separate entities, alongside its previously announced spin-off of the advanced materials unit.

The Indian unit's shares, among the most expensive in India, closed nearly flat at 38,338.3 rupees ahead of the results.

BENGALURU, May 15 (Reuters) - Honeywell Automation India HONE.NS, the Indian arm of U.S. conglomerate Honeywell International HON.O, reported a rise in fourth-quarter profit on Wednesday, helped by sustained industrial and infrastructure demand.

The engineering firm's profit rose 32% to 1.48 billion rupees (about $18 million) for the quarter ended March 31 from 1.12 billion rupees a year ago.

Revenue from operations rose nearly 12% from a year earlier to 9.51 billion rupees.

Capital goods companies in India have benefitted from a surge in industrial and infrastructure demand in recent quarters as the government boosted spending.

However, analysts had flagged a curb in government spending ahead of the national elections, which started mid-April and will end in early June.

Rivals Siemens SIEM.NS and ABB India ABB.NS also reported higher profits in the fourth quarter.

Honeywell Automation India's building solutions business remained strong on healthy demand and order backlog, analysts said.

Separately, the company announced a final dividend of 100 rupees apiece for the financial year ended March 31, 2024.

Its shares, one of India's costliest, closed 3.1% higher at 49,285.45 rupees ahead of the results.

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.
