August 17, 2020 (MLN): Bank Al Habib Limited has recorded profits of Rs. 7.24 billion (EPS: 6.52) for the half year ended June 30, 2020, showing a growth of 63% as compared to the same period of last year.

The growth in earnings was led by a 39% improvement in net interest income on account of delays in asset-liability repricing, as well as an upturn witnessed in share of profit from associates. The bank, however, disappointed in terms of lower income from forex, dividend, and commission.

According to a report by Next Capital, Fee and commission income took a hit due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which had resulted in an economic slowdown.

On the contrary, the overall expenses surged by 28% on the back of higher operating expenses and workers welfare fund. The non-core expenses, nonetheless, tumbled by almost 99%.

While not completely in line, the company somewhat managed to meet the expectations set by market spectators.
