February 26, 2019 (MLN): Dewan Cement Limited has reported net earnings of Rs. 328 million (EPS: 0.68) for the half year ended December 31, 2018. This shows that the company has suffered decline of 40% in earnings as a result of almost no growth in sales revenues and massive reduction in non-core income.

The increase in income tax expense by 43% also contributed in dragging down company’s profits.
