October 22, 2020 (MLN): Descon Oxychem Limited has recorded profits of Rs. 14.06 million (EPS: 0.11) for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, i.e. nearly 79% lower than the earnings reported in the same period of last year.
The major reason for such a significant decline in profits was i) almost no change in revenue and ii) higher cost of goods sold. These two factors caused the gross profits to decline by 55%.
While there were some positive changes such as a 21% decline in administrative expenses, 36% decline in other expenses and 85% decline in finance costs, their impact on the profit before tax was disguised as it fell by nearly 68%.
The company paid an income tax expense of Rs. 7.6 million during the period, which is around 43% lower than the same period of last year.
