March 7, 2019 (MLN): Bata Pakistan Limited (BATA) has announced a minor falloff in its annual net profits when compared to the earnings last year. The company has declared its net income at Rs.1.50 billion (EPS: Rs.198.6) during CY18, against that of Rs.1.52 billion (EPS: Rs.201.65) recorded for CY17.

This decline is primarily a consequence of lower non-core income recorded for the period against higher expenses on the whole.

Although after accounting for these components, BATA’s pre-tax profits were decently higher than last year, the final stroke that turned this rise into decline was when the company recorded 16.6% higher tax expenditures which coupled with the higher outflows to weigh down the bottom line of BATA.

In addition to this, BATA has announced a final cash dividend at Rs.60 per share i.e. 600%, in addition to Interim Dividend already paid at Rs.90 per share, i.e. 900%.
