April 27, 2021 (MLN): In 9MFY21, Byco Petroleum Limited (BYCO) has reported a net profit of Rs 1.67 billion (EPS: Rs 0.31), a remarkable turnaround from nine months of last fiscal year when it suffered a net loss of Rs 3.02 billion (LPS: Rs 0.57).

The upturn in earnings was led by the higher gross margin.

Despite a 30% YoY decline in the company’s net revenues, the gross margins improved to 5% from 0.45% in SPLY on the back of lower cost of sales that plunged by 33% YoY during 9MFY21.

With regards to major expense heads, the company encountered a 2.5% YoY rise in its administrative expenses. Moreover,  distribution and marketing expenses and other expenses also saw an 18.3% and 22%, YoY increase during the said period.

However, finance cost witnessed a drop by 36% YoY mainly due to the low interest rates that contributed to the financial performance of the company.
