April 15, 2020 (MLN): Engro Polymer and Chemicals Limited has declared the financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, which shows a profit after tax figure of Rs. 192.8 million (EPS: Rs. 0.21) i.e. 82% lower than the PAT of the same period last year.

According to a research report by BIPL Securities, the profits declined on the back of a fall in revenue by 24%, which was partially caused by the plant closure. higher fuel charges and a 1.8x increase in finance cost also dented the profitability of the company.

A decline in demand from the construction as well as the textile sector also took a toll on the company’s performance.
