February 20, 2019 (MLN): Engro Corporation has declared annual net gains worth Rs.23.6 billion for the year ended December 2018, marking a rise of 45% over last year (Rs.16.3 billion), with its EPS at Rs.24.26.  

Going by the financial statement issued by the company to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the credit for this remarkable improvement goes to higher sales this year (Rs.171.6 billion) which increased by 33.4%, while cost of sales (Rs.120.5 billion) expanded by a smaller margin of Rs.28.4%.

As a result, the gross profits saw an upsurge of 46.8% over the year. While expenses otherwise elevated during the period, the sales growth was enough to cover for the negative impact brought along.

The Board of Directors have also recommended to issue Bonus Share in the proportion of 10 share for every 100 shares held, that is 10%. The said Bonus Shares shall not be eligible for the dividend declared for the aforesaid period.
