March 19, 2019 (MLN): GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Pakistan Limited (GSKCH) has announced net earnings of Rs. 1.07 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018, showing a 52% increase as compared to last year. The Earning per share of the company stood at Rs. 9.18, i.e. 24% higher than that if last year.

The remarkable progress in the net profits was a result of massive improvement in the company’s topline earnings, which grew by 79% to Rs. 14.8 billion.

Even though the company’s cost of sales almost doubled up over the year, the company still managed to report a positive gross profit margin.

Moreover, in spite of a major increase in the company’s financial charges, the net impact on the company’s final earnings of this change was insignificant.

The company also announced a final cash dividend of Rs. 5 per share, i.e. 50%, was announced in the aforementioned period.
