October 16, 2019 (MLN): Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited (EPQL) has declared earnings of Rs. 2.6 million (RS. 8.06) in its latest financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This signifies a growth of nearly 36% over the same period of last year.

A number of factors contributed to the growth in company’s profits, including increase in gross profits by 24%, decline in administrative expense by 32% and finance cost by 58%.

A massive rise in the non-core income also helped in lifting the bottom-line earnings of the company.

Nonetheless, EPQL suffered some setbacks in the form of rise in income tax expense by a substantial margin as well as higher non-core expenses.
