February 25, 2019 (MLN):  BYCO Petroleum Limited has disclosed after-tax losses of Rs. 216 million for the half year ended December 31, 2018. The losses incurred can be attributed to substantial increase in the cost of sales by 70% and company’s distribution expenses by 34%.

During the six months, BYCO observed 60% increase in topline earnings (Rs.100 billion) but due to higher cost of sales its gross profit dropped by 75%.

Adding to the woes, company’s administrative expenses rose by 70% and sales tax by 27%, coupled with a 14% upswing in finance cost, which caused the company to bear a pre-tax loss worth Rs.848.3 million.

The loss per share (LPS) of the company for the said period was stated at Rs.0.04 per share.
