April 26, 2020 (MLN): Strong DAP offtake and prices helped Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim Limited (FFBL) in posting strong consolidated net profits of Rs 1.22 billion (EPS: Rs 0.87) in the first quarter ended March 31, 2021, against losses of Rs 2.90 billion (LPS: Rs 2.03) in the same period a year earlier.

The move to profits was helped by a 35.5% YoY rise in the net sales in 1QCY21 due to an uptrend in local DAP margins and dividend income support from its subsidies AKBL that announced a pay-out of Rs 3 per share in the last quarter, expanding gross margins to 24% from 8%, said Ailia Naeem, a Research Analyst at AKD Securities.

The company’s bottom line was further strengthened by lower finance costs as they came down by 54% YoY to Rs 1.30 billion amid a lower interest rate regime.

Meanwhile, the effective tax rate went up by 45% YoY to Rs 661 million during 1QCY21.
