October 25, 2018 (MLN): Habib Metropolitan Bank (HMB) has earned Rs.1.3 billion higher profits during the three quarters ended on September 30, 2018, over the corresponding period of prior year.

HMB’s official report on its financial earnings has shown that the company earned Rs.1.7 billion higher net mark-up/interest income after provisions, during the period.

Meanwhile, as some non-mark-up/interest inflows rose, others suffered a decline. The net effect of all led to an 8.9% increase in total non-mark-up/interest income.

On the flip side, administrative expenses mounted substantially, by Rs.662 million.

Fortunately for HMB, the inflows outshone the outflows as the Bank made reassuring profits during the period (+39%).

Habib Metropolitan Bank’s basic and diluted earnings per share have increased from Rs.3.11 per share to Rs.4.32 per share.
