September 17, 2020 (MLN): D. G. Khan. Cement (DGKC) has announced its FY20 financial results, wherein the company reported a net loss of Rs 2.229 billion (LPS: Rs 5.05), against a net profit of Rs 1.864 billion (EPS: Rs 4.16) in FY19.

The loss is attributed to gross margins attrition that clocked in at 5% in FY20 compared to 13% in the corresponding period last year. As per research by Spectrum, this decline in margins was due to weak cement prices and rupee devaluation, resulting in a higher cost of production.

The other major highlight is colossal finance cost which increased by around 42% YoY to Rs 5.11 billion, hurting the financial stability of the company. However, a tax reversal of Rs 1.57 billion provided much-needed respite to the bottom line.
