October 23, 2025 (MLN): Bank AL Habib Limited (PSX: BAHL) shared a profit after tax of Rs26.68bn for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to Rs34.41bn in the same period last year, a 22% YoY decline.

Earnings per share stood at Rs23.99, down from Rs30.95.

The Board of Directors declared cash dividend of Rs3.5 per share.

The bank’s total income slipped 11% to Rs124.2bn, as net mark-up/interest income fell 15% to Rs99.59bn from Rs117.53bn a year earlier.

Both mark-ups earned and expensed declined by 29% and 35%, respectively.

Non-mark-up/interest income rose 13% to Rs24.61bn, driven by higher foreign exchange income up 47% YoY and a modest rise in fee, commission, and dividend income.

On the expense side, non-mark-up/interest expenses increased 14% to Rs70.99bn, mainly due to a 15% jump in operating costs.

Profit before tax came in at Rs55.41bn, compared to Rs65.06bn last year, while profit after tax dropped to Rs26.68bn due to higher taxation of Rs28.73bn.
