August 17, 2021 (MLN): Allied Bank Limited (ABL) has announced its half yearly financial results for the period ended on June 30, 2021 today as per which the profitability of the bank has increased by 4.7% to clock in at Rs9 billion (EPS: Rs7.75), compared to the profit of Rs8 bn (EPS: Rs7.40) in 1HCY20.

Going by the bank’s financial statement sent to PSX, the major highlight from the results includes a 51% increase in dividend income which supported the bank’s non-funded income (NFI). In addition, the bank’s fee and commission income also witnessed a jump of 16%, as it clocked in at Rs3.65bn, against Rs3.15bn recorded during IHCY20.

This time, the bank observed a decline of 3.6% in its foreign exchange income to reach Rs662.5 million during the review period whereas, the capital gain on securites has climbed by 16.89% in 1HCY21.

During the period under review, the bank’s net interest income (NII) shrunk by 8.63% YoY to Rs23bn compared to the NII of Rs25.18bn in the same period of the previous year. This reduction is mainly on the back of repricing of assets at lower rate.
