April 12, 2019 (MLN): Attock Petroleum Limited has issued its financial earnings result for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, as per which the company has earned net profits of Rs. 2.3 billion (EPS: Rs. 23.99), i.e. almost 44% lower as compared to the same period last year.

The company’s net sales revenue grew by around 35% on the back of massive increase in product prices. On the other hand, the cost of sales surged by 39% which ultimately resulted in Gross margins being pulled down by 28%.

However, the company gained respite from taxation expense, which exhibited a decline of 40% in the period under review.

Evidently, the company performed below market expectations, as various renowned research houses expected the decline in Profit after Tax to be within the range of 20-23%, whereas the actual decline in PAT is 44%.
