August 8, 2019 (MLN): Engro Fertilizers Limited has announced its financial results for the half year ended June 30, 2019, wherein it has reported net earnings of Rs. 7.1 billion, exhibiting almost no change from the earnings reported in same period of last year.  

The company’s earnings per share stood at Rs. 5.38 for the stated period. Moreover, it announced an interim cash dividend of Rs. 5 per share i.e. 50%.

The sales revenue reported positive growth of 23% on account of increase in Urea and DAP prices. However, the increase in policy rate pushed the finance costs up by 127%, causing the impact of increased sales to collapse.

The company’s overall performance did not meet the market expectations, in which most of the research houses expected the net profits to be above Rs. 7.4 billion at least.
