August 27, 2019 (MLN): Fatima Fertilizer Limited (FATIMA) posted 23% increase in its Net profits after tax to Rs 7 billion compared to Rs 5.7 billion earned in the same period last year. The company reported its Earning per share (EPS) at Rs 3.36 for 6 months ended on June 30th 2019.
The upsurge in earnings came largely as a result of improved fertilizer prices, higher Nitro phosphate (NP) offtake and higher volumetric sales.
Drop in selling and distribution expenses by 20%YoY to PKR 1.88 billion and increase in other income by 111% also helped in lifting up the company’s profitability.
Moreover, the company reported 95% increase in finance cost owing to higher interest rates which helped in limiting the growth impact of company’s earnings.
