September 18, 2019 (MLN): Nishat Power Limited (NPL) has announced its financial results today for the year ended June 30th 2019, as per which the company posted its net profits after tax soared by 17.4% YoY to Rs 3.7 billion with EPS locked in at Rs 10.6, against Rs 3.2 billion (EPS: Rs 9) earned last year.
Despite decline in topline earnings by around 8% due to decline in dispatches, the company managed to earn profits mainly on the back of PKR depreciation during the year and higher penal income.
The positive impact of the aforementioned factors was partially offset by rise in other expenses (473%) and finance cost (28%) owing to higher interest rates.
