October 24, 2024 (MLN): Faysal Bank Limited (PSX: FABL) reported a profit of Rs6.5 billion (EPS: Rs4.28) for the third quarter (Q3 CY24) ending September 30, 2024, reflecting a growth of approximately 44% compared to Rs4.52bn (EPS: Rs2.98) earned in Q3 CY23.

Considering this remarkable performance, the Board of Directors (BoD) has recommended an interim cash dividend of Rs1.5 per share.

This is in addition to the 10% interim cash dividend for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 and the 20% interim cash dividend for the second quarter (half year) ended June 30, 2024, already paid to the Shareholders.

Analyzing the profit and loss statement, the bank witnessed a surge of 17.23% in its net return to stand at Rs21.58bn, compared to Rs18.41bn in the same quarter last year.

Similarly, the bank’s total non-markup income during the review period also improved by 44.26% to Rs3.26bn driven by a significant increase in fee and foreign exchange income attributed to improved economic activity.

The bank also witnessed a positive turnaround in its securities trading, with a gain of Rs130.22m during the quarter compared to a loss worth Rs390.66m reported in Q3 CY23.

On the expense side, the total non-markup expenses expanded by 25.1% to Rs12.51bn in Q3 CY24 compared to Rs10bn in Q3 CY23.

The increase was attributed to a 24.59% jump in operating expenses, rising from Rs9.8bn to Rs12.22bn in Q3 CY24.

Additionally, the bank’s expenses related to the Workers' Welfare Fund and other charges also went up during the review period.

Moving forward, the profit and loss statement shows that FABL incurred a credit loss allowance of Rs561.57m during Q3 CY24, compared to a reversal of Rs1.61bn reported in SPLY.
