August 20, 2019 (MLN):  The Allied Bank Limited (ABL) has observed 13.8% decline in its profits after tax (PAT) for the half year ended on June 30th 2019 which locked in at Rs 6.2 billion with an Earning per share (EPS) at Rs 5.45 compared to Rs 7.2 billion (EPS: Rs 6.33) reported in the same period last year.

The decline in profits were primarily attributable to 81.6% decline in gain on sale of securities and 90% increase in interest expenses. In addition, growth in operating expenses during the period also helped in dragging company’s bottom- line earnings down.

On the other hand, the bank observed 86% increase in income from dealing in foreign currencies which provided a cushion to the earnings.

Moreover, the bank also announced an interim Cash Dividend at Rs.2 per share, i.e. 20% in addition to an interim dividend already paid at Rs.2 per share or 20%.
