March 5, 2020 (MLN): The Bank of Khyber (BOK) has posted net profits of Rs 1.3 billion for CY19 which was 2.8x higher than the profits of Rs 466 million earned in CY18.

This has reflected in Bank’s earnings per share which rose from Rs 0.47 per share to Rs 1.31 per share, marking a growth of 178.7% YoY.

Increase in policy rate has had its influence on bank’s profitability as its interest income rose by 68% during the year, however, a parallel rise in interest expenses by whopping 106.7% YoY has led the Net Mark-up income to shrink slightly by 4.32% YoY.

During the period, Bank’s income from dealing in foreign currencies surged by 1.04.5%YoY, other income rose by 21.77% YoY while its operating expenses dropped by 10.66% YoY. In addition, the bank also booked a net gain of Rs 289.7 million on sale of Securities against a loss of Rs 1.22 billion incurred in CY18. All these contributed in improving BOK’s profitability as its profits before provisions grew significantly by 318% YoY from Rs 535.6 million to Rs 2.24 billion.

Alongside financial results, the Board of Directors of the bank also announced a final Cash Dividend of Rs 0.50 per share i.e. 5% for the year mentioned above.
