February 04, 2025 (MLN): Allied Bank Limited (ABL) has posted a robust profit after taxation of Rs44.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024, reflecting a 7.5% increase compared to Rs41.3bn in 2023.

The bank has declared a final cash dividend of Rs4 per share (40%), in addition to the Rs12 per share (120%) interim dividends already disbursed.

The bank’s total income grew 5.2% year-over-year, reaching Rs145.7bn, driven by an increase in net markup and interest income, which stood at Rs115.36bn up 2.17% from last year.

Non-markup income surged 18.51% to Rs30.33bn, fueled by strong fee and commission income (Rs16.2bn, up 36.61%) and a 403.53% jump in other income.

Despite the positive revenue growth, operating expenses rose 21.13% to Rs57.75bn, while provisions and write-offs saw a notable reversal, contributing Rs2.71bn back into profits.

The profit before taxation increased 3.35% to Rs89.71bn, with taxation at Rs45.32bn.

ABL’s earnings per share (EPS) improved to Rs38.77, compared to Rs36.07 last year.
