August 17, 2022 (MLN): The Bank of Punjab (BOP) reported net profits for 1HCY22 at Rs5.4bn (EPS: Rs1.8), depicting a slight decline of 2.4% YoY, mainly due to loss on securities and higher interest expenses.

The net interest income of the bank settled at Rs15.9bn during 1HCY22, increasing 14% YoY. Non-interest income dropped by 17.2%YoY, primarily due to capital loss worth Rs861 million booked during the period compared to gains of Rs1.6bn in the corresponding period last year.

Excluding capital loss, non-interest income reported an improvement of 62%YoY led by a 35.5%YoY increase in fee and commission income and a 4.9x YoY increase in income from foreign exchange operations.

On the expense side, operating expenses reported a significant increase of 36.5% YoY, from Rs10.2bn to Rs13.97bn. With this, the cost-to-income ratio stands at 72% compared to 57% in 1HCY21.

Moreover, the bank posted a huge reversal during the review period, clocking in at Rs2.94bn compared to the provisioning charge of Rs632mn recorded in the same period last year which provided a cushion to the bank’s profitability.

Lastly, the effective tax rate was set at 35% during 1HCY22 against 24% last year.
