October 21, 2020 (MLN): Bank Alfalah Limited (BAFL) has announced its financial results for the nine months ended on September 30, 2020 wherein the bank has posted a profit after tax of Rs 8.66 billion (EPS: Rs 4.87) i.e. around 9 % lower than net profits of Rs 9.48 billion (EPS: Rs 5.35) reported in the corresponding period last year.

Alongside financial results, the Board of Directors of the bank announced an interim cash dividend for the 3^rd quarter and Nine months period ended September 30, 2020 at Rs 2 per share i.e. 20%.

As per the financial statement issued by the bank to PSX, the bank’s net interest income went up by 3.38% YoY which is slightly lesser than expected as interest expenses increased by 12.53% YoY.

During the period under review, despite a reduction in fee income, non-funded income (NFI) showed a remarkable growth of 41% YoY on an account of a substantial increase of 41% YoY in FX income, capital gains of Rs 2.18 billion in 9MCY20 along with a 34% YoY increase in the share of profits from associates.

The major highlight is massive provisioning charges which showed a three-fold increase from Rs 2.012 billion to Rs 6.278 billion when compared to the same period last year, denting the financial health of the bank.
