February 26, 2021 (MLN): Lotte Chemical Pakistan (LOTCHEM) has earned Rs. 2.12 billion (EPS: 1.4) during the year ended December 31, 2020, i.e. nearly 61% lower as compared to the earnings of same period last year.

The company also announced a final cash dividend of Rs. 0.75 per share for the year i.e. 75%.

The drop in earnings stemmed from a 35.6% decline in revenue owing to a decline in the price of PTA. On the other hand, the cost of sales declined by 31% due to PKR depreciation and removal of GIDC which resulted in lower gas prices.

The non-core income rose by 15.7% on account of higher cash and short-term investments.

Finance cost of the company fell by nearly 75% owing to a 6.25% drop in interest rates.
