February 17, 2021 (MLN): Allied Bank Limited has announced earnings of Rs. 18.3 billion (EPS: 16.05) for the year ended December 31, 2020, i.e. nearly 27% higher than the earnings recorded in the same period of last year.

The bank also announced a final Cash Dividend for the year at Rs. 6.00 per share i.e. 60%. This is in addition to interim dividends already paid at Rs. 2.00 per share i.e. 20%.

Despite a fall in its interest income by 10%, ABL was able to lift its net interest income by 15% owing to a 23% decline in interest expense. Further boost came from a 98% increase in gain on securities, which helped in raising the total income by 15.3%.

However, the bank also saw a rise of 9.3% in total expenses owing to payment of Rs. 626.5 million made in workers’ welfare fund.

The earnings took a slight hit from the rise in income tax expense by nearly 14%.
