February 28, 2025 (MLN): Bank Makramah Limited (PSX: BML) reported a net loss of Rs5.2 billion for the half-year ended December 31, 2024, reflecting a 2.35% reduction from the Rs5.33bn loss recorded in the same period last year (SPLY).

This marginal improvement was driven by a significant rise in non-markup income, which surged 182.82% YoY to Rs3.63bn, primarily due to gains on securities and higher fee and commission income.

However, the bank net markup expense increased by 58.04% YoY to Rs4.07bn, as mark-up expenses grew by 25.42% YoY, outpacing the 22.77% rise in mark-up income.

On the expense side, total non-markup/interest expenses increased by 13.21% YoY to Rs8.19bn, largely due to higher operating costs.

Additionally, the bank’s credit loss allowance expanded by 23.50% YoY to Rs1.41bn.

Consequently, the loss before taxation stood at Rs7.23bn, reflecting a 2.19% improvement compared to the previous year.

The taxation expense of Rs2.02bn, slightly lower by 1.76% YoY, contributed to an overall net loss per share of Rs0.79, improving from Rs1.00 per share recorded in SPLY.
