April 27, 2022 (MLN): Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has announced its 9MFY22 financial result today, where the company’s bottom-line stood at Rs51.53 billion (EPS: Rs18.94) against Rs38.12bn (EPS: Rs14.01) in 9MFY21.

This year-on-year 35% growth is attributable to a 16% jump in Sui wellhead price and higher oil prices, the research report by Arif Habib Limited said.

Looking at the company’s financial performance, the sales revenue jumped by 25.5% YoY to Rs141.51bn during 9MFY22 amid higher oil prices. As a result, the gross profit of the company observed a 44.4% YoY to Rs91.07bn, expanding margins to 64% from 56% in 9MFY21.

Notably, the other income surged by 3.55x YoY to Rs10.41bn, mainly due to exchange gains that also strengthened the financial health of the company.

However, the increase in exploration expenses and other charges by 2.75 times YoY and 23% YoY to Rs10.69bn and Rs8.88bn respectively somewhat restricted bottom-line growth.

On the tax front, the company’s effective tax rate came to 32% YoY during 9MFY22.
