August 26, 2019 (MLN): The EFU General Insurance Limited (EFUG) has announced its financial results for the half year ended on June 30th 2019, wherein the company reported its net profits after tax (PAT) declined significantly by 56% to Rs 646.4 million from Rs 1.48 billion earned in the same period last year.

The financial results announced today were also accompanied with an interim cash dividend of Rs 1.5 per share i.e. 15% in addition to first interim cash dividend already paid at Rs 1.5 per share for the first Quarter ended March 31, 2019.

 The decline in company’s profits is primarily due to increase in several cost generating streams of the company.

During the period, the company’s net insurance claims increased by 100%, net commission surged by 70%, insurance claims and acquisition expenses mounted by 90.6% and management expenses rose by 50%, all of these contributed in declining company’s profitability.

Furthermore, a considerable increase in income taxes of about 748% further helped in declining company’s profitability.

The Earnings per share of the company reported a decline of 68% to Rs 2.05 for the period mentioned above.
