According to the financial results announced by the company today, despite decline in cost of sales, company’s gross profits deteriorated by 16.6% due to 7.6% drop in topline earnings.

Moreover, during the period, company’s finance cost also surged considerably by 81.8% as a result of increase in interest rates.

However, the company observed 38% reduction in tax payments, the overall impact on ultimate profits of the company was not adequate to pull up the profits of the company by significant margin.

Moreover, the Board of Directors of the company announced an Interim Cash Dividend of Rs.90 per share for the aforesaid period.
