March 05, 2025 (MLN): The Bank of Khyber (PSX: BOK) reported a profit after tax of Rs3.61 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024, reflecting a modest increase of 3.84% compared to Rs3.48bn recorded in the previous year.

The bank has declared a final cash dividend of Rs1.7 per share (17%) for the year ended 2024.

Earnings per share (EPS) stood at Rs3.12, up from Rs3.01 in 2023, marking a 3.65% growth.

The bank's net interest income (NII) surged by 18.71% to Rs16.49bn, driven by a 10.41% rise in mark-up/return/interest earned, which reached Rs65.22bn.

Meanwhile, mark-up/return/interest expenses increased by 7.86% to Rs48.73bn.

On the non-markup income front, a notable decline of 15.69% was observed, with total non-markup income falling to Rs1.78bn from Rs2.1bn in 2023.

The drop was primarily due to a 63.69% decline in foreign exchange income and an 81.56% drop in dividend income.

However, fee and commission income saw a significant jump of 61.17%, reaching Rs941.99 million.

Operating expenses rose by 23.11% to Rs10.53bn, leading to an overall increase of 22.87% in total non-markup expenses, which amounted to Rs10.56bn.

The bank also recorded a reversal of credit loss provisions amounting to Rs425.75m, compared to a provision of Rs705.09m in the previous year.

As a result, profit before taxation surged by 21.39% to Rs8.13bn, while taxation expenses rose sharply by 40.36% to Rs4.52bn.
