October 29, 2018 (MLN): GlaxoSmithKline Pakistan Limited (GLAXO) has announced its nine month profit for the period ended September 30, 2018 at Rs.1.9 billion (+Rs.344.6 million or +15.5%, YoY), whereas EPS is at Rs.5.87 per share (-15.6%).

The decline in profit growth has come about as result of higher sales cost and boosted expenses.

As per an official report on the company’s financial earnings, GLAXO’s gross profits dropped to Rs.6.4 billion, marking a decline of Rs.235 million or 3.6%.

Moreover, GLAXO bore further disbursements in view of higher expenses during the period, resulting in pretax profits to drop by 12.5%, to Rs.3.2 billion.

Nonetheless, the company experienced some relief in the name of profits from discontinued operations, which accounted for over Rs.26 million. On the other hand, during the corresponding period of last year, discontinued operations made losses worth Rs.35.7 million.
