February 14, 2019 (MLN): Cherat Cement Company Limited’s profits for the half year ended December 31, 2018 have decline by 23%, mainly on account of reduction in the company’s topline earnings and growth in operating expenses, creating a twofold impact on the financial position of the company.

On top of this, the finance cost amplified by 25% whereas absence of tax rebates led to the company paying taxes of Rs. 299 million this year, as compared to Rs. 99000 only in the corresponding period last year.

The EPS of the company was reported at Rs. 5.82 for the said period.
