MG News | June 30, 2020 at 01:32 PM GMT+05:00
June 30, 2020 (MLN): Fatima Fertilizer Company Limited has announced the financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which show that the company has earned net profits of Rs. 2.4 billion (EPS: Rs. 1.17), that is around 20% lower as compared to the same period of last year.
The decline in earnings can be attributed to a 7.8% drop in top-line revenue, which caused the gross profits to decrease by 10%.
Even though there was a decline in distribution cost by 27%, the impact of it was negated by a 23.7% increase in administrative expenses. The company also received a huge blow in the form of an 88% surge in finance costs.
Some of the positive highlights in the financial results for the quarter were the 25.7% increase in the share of profit from associates and an 18% decline in income tax expense.
