COMPANY FINANCIALS

Particularly (in Crore Rs.)	2020-21	2019-20	2018-19
ASSETS	888	832	1008
Revenue	1966	2229	2835
PAT	11.15	(-29)	(-25)

Landmark Cars Limited has a terrible financial statement based on the assets and revenue generation. The company has an unstable asset base with the same being 1008 Crore Rs in 2018 and then coming down to 832 Crore Rs during the pre-COVID times. However the same was 888 Crore Rs in 2021. This can be the effect of the COVID Crisis. The revenues on the other hand also suggest the same results. The revenue was 2835 Crore Rs during the 2019 time.

However one cannot ignore the fact that the company is generating 1.8 times more revenue than it has in its assets which is an outstanding thing. In 2020 the revenue goes down to 2229 Crore Rs and then in 2021 it goes further down to 1966 Crore Rs. This suggests that maybe the company is focussing on keeping the assets in range and then maximising the results out of it.

One can notice the results in 2021 when the company achieved 11.15 Crore Rs as profits after 2 years of continuous losses. In 2019 the company incurred a loss of 25 Crore Rs which went up to 29 Crore Rs in 2020.
