April 19, 2023 (MLN): Fauji Cement Company Limited (FCCL) has registered a 30.35% YoY jump in profits that clocked in at Rs6.96billion (EPS: Rs3) for the nine-month period ended on March 31, 2023, compared to the profits of Rs5.34bn (EPS:2.3) in the corresponding period last year.

The significant improvement in the company’s earnings can be attributed to higher gross margins and net finance income.

Going by the financial statement of the company, the topline of the company surged by 35% YoY to stand at Rs52bn during 9MFY23, mainly due to higher retention prices.

This took the margins in 9MFY23 to 27.08% against 26.8% in 9MFY22 amid better margins in the first half on account of effective price hikes which remained sufficient to offset the impact of augmented cost pressures.

During the period under review, the finance cost of the company soared to Rs2.5bn, compared to Rs856mn in 9MFY22

The surge in finance cost is owing to higher interest rates, enhanced borrowings pertaining to the recent expansion of 2.05mn tons at Nizampur site, and exchange losses with regards to financial liability of the upcoming expansion at D.G. Khan site, a report by Sherman Securities noted.

On the taxation front, the company’s effective tax rate improved to 30.16% in 9MFY23 as opposed to 34% booked in the same period last year.
