September 02, 2024 (MLN): Attock Petroleum Limited (PSX: APL) earned a profit after tax of Rs3.04 billion [EPS: Rs24.44] during the April-June quarter despite a slump in gross margins.
That is up 15.9% compared to a profit of Rs2.62bn [EPS: Rs21.09] in the same period last year (SPLY) due to a significant jump in other income and a decline in finance costs.
Along with the results, the company announced a final cash dividend for the year ending June 2024 of Rs17.5 per share i.e. 175%. This is in addition to the interim dividend already paid at Rs10 per share.
The company's sales marked an increase of 6.1% to Rs130.64bn as compared to Rs123.1bn in SPLY.
However, the cost of sales also rose by 8.4% which was higher than proportionate to sales rise, worsening the gross profit by 35.3% to Rs4.07bn in Q2 2024.
The gross margins fell to 3.1% as compared to 5.1% in SPLY.
On the other hand, the company's other income surged 76.8% to stand at Rs4.2bn in Q2 2024 as compared to Rs2.37bn in SPLY.
