January 31, 2019 (MLN): Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited (FFC) has successfully boosted its annual gains in CY18 by Rs.4.9 billion (or 43%, YoY) as it reported its net income for the year at Rs.16.4 billion and EPS at Rs.12.92.

As can be seen in the table below, the company’s turnover increased by nearly 17% (or Rs.15.9 billion), entailing a 7% rise in gross margins which currently stand firm at 27%. This uplift in topline is a result of improved urea price which increased by 23% YoY in CY18.

In addition to this, since finance cost was cut remarkably by 29.7% (Rs.947 million), the overall expenses for the year are recorded around 0.4% lower than last year, which further contributed towards increased profitability.

FFC’s board has also recommended a final Cash Dividend at Rs.3.9 per share i.e. 39%, in addition to an Interim Dividend already paid at Rs.4.95 per share, i.e. 49.5%.
