February 19, 2021 (MLN): Kot Addu Power Company Limited (KAPCO) has announced profits of Rs. 11.4 billion (EPS: 13.06) for the half-year ended December 31, 2020, which is merely 2% lower as compared to the earnings of the same period last year (SPLY).
According to a report by Arif Habib Limited, the sales of the company went down by nearly 23% on account of lower dispatches, from 2,277 GWh in SPLY to 1,991 GWh in 1HFY21. On the other hand, the cost of sales declined by 34% owing to rupee depreciation.
The company also witnessed a 37% decrease in its non-core income owing to lower interest rates and lower overdue receivables, the report added.
The lower interest rates also worked in the company’s favor as along with lower short-term borrowings, it resulted in a 66% decrease in finance cost.
