September 30, 2024 (MLN): Agha Steel Industries Limited (PSX: AGHA) incurred a significant net loss of Rs3.05 billion [LPS: Rs5.05] in the quarter ending June 2024 as its sales plunged.

That compares to a profit of Rs199.91 million [EPS: Rs0.33] earned in the same period last year (SPLY). For the full financial year 2023-24, the company posted a net loss of Rs5.09bn compared to a profit of Rs904.9m in FY23.

Going by the quarterly results, the company's sales decreased substantially by 66.9% to Rs1.7bn as compared to Rs5.13bn in SPLY.

The cost of sales also fell 9.6% but was far less than proportionate to sales decline, resulting in a gross loss of Rs1.85bn in Q4 FY24.

The company’s finance cost expanded by 27.1% and stood at Rs1.2bn as compared to Rs946.23m in SPLY, mainly due to higher interest rates.

On the tax front, the company paid a tax worth Rs1.92bn, which translates to an effective tax rate of 38.6%.
