February 17, 2021 (MLN): Habib Bank Limited has reported earnings of Rs. 30.9 billion (EPS: 21.06) for the year ended December 31, 2020, i.e. nearly the double of what it earned during the previous year.

The Bank also announced a final Cash Dividend of Rs. 3 per share i.e. 30%. This is in addition to the interim dividend already paid at Rs. 1.25 per share i.e. 12.5%.

The net interest income of the bank went up by 28.4% owing to reduction in interest expense amidst lower interest rates. Similarly, the non-interest income surged by 26.6% owing to presence of income from derivatives of Rs. 1.07 billion and gain on securities of Rs. 7.05 billion. However, a foreign exchange loss of Rs. 161.6 million was also recorded during the year.

Further pressure on the earnings was exerted by a 268% increase in provisioning cost, as well as increase in income tax expense by 65%.
