February 19, 2020 (MLN): Ghandara Industries Limited (GHNI) has announced its financial results for the half-year ended on December 31, 2019. As per the results, the company has incurred losses worth Rs 105 million (LPS: Rs 2.47) compared to last year net profits of Rs 383 million (EPS: Rs 8.99).

During the period, the cost of sales decreased by 21.27% YoY but more than a proportionate decrease in revenue (down by 22.29% YoY) caused gross profits to decrease by around 29% YoY to Rs 752 million.

The company’s distribution and administrative expenses went up by 1.20% YoY and 3% YoY respectively. However, other expenses plunged by 80% YoY to Rs 4.3 million.

More notably, the colossal increase in finance cost by 91.45% YoY, from Rs 254 million to Rs 488 million dented the company’s performance owing to higher interest rate and running finance requirement.
