October 24, 2018 (MLN): Fauji Foods Limited (FFL) has stated 22.6% escalation in losses for the nine months period ended 30th September 2018, prompted mainly by increased Operating expenses and Finance costs.
According to the notification issued to PSX, the top-line earnings of the company appreciated by a greater margin of 34.42% as compared to 27.07% increase in cost of sales, which led to the gross profits of the company mounting by 357.83%.
While there were no non-core expenses this year, the Distribution cost and Administrative cost exhibited a growth of 8.98% and 8.515 respectively, damaging the financial earnings of the company.
The increase in finance costs by 41.12% i.e. Rs. 134 million, however, gave the major blow to the financial stability of the company.
