August 23, 2019 (MLN):  The Habib Metropolitan Bank Limited (HMB) posted 9.3% year-on-year increase in profits-after-tax to Rs 3.35 billion for 1HCY19 with EPS recorded at Rs 3.05. HMB drew strength from strong top-line performance due to higher interest rates during the period.

With the interest rates considerably higher during 1HCY19, interest expenses were also higher thus allowed Net Interest Income to grow by only 11.24%.

During the period, the bank recorded a healthy increase in foreign exchange income of about 83%, besides decent growth in fee and commission income which provided a solid hand to the bottom-line.

On the flip side, bank witnessed losses in sales of securities and income from other avenues also declined.
