April 26, 2019 (MLN):  Engro Corporation Limited (ENGRO) has announced its financial results for the quarter ended on March 31st 2019, as per which the company's net profits after tax declined  merely by 4% to Rs 6.5 billion with EPS recorded at Rs 7.66 compared to Rs 6.8 billion (EPS: Rs8.01) in the same quarter last year.

Despite increase in company's top-line by 21%, the upsurge in cost of sales by 30% and administrative expenses by 52%, dragged the company's  profits before tax by 6%.

However,  decline in tax payments by 10% provided a  cushion to the earnings.

Moreover, the Board of Directors of the company announced an interim cash dividend for the quarter under review at Rs 7 per share i.e. 70%
