August 29, 2019 (MLN): Hascol Petroleum Limited has incurred losses of Rs. 11.1 billion (LPS: Rs. 56.09) for the half year period ended June 30, 2019. This performance is poles apart from the results announced in the same period of last year, wherein the company declared profits of Rs. 1 billion (EPS: Rs. 5.16)
The company’s performance was heavily dented by decline in net sales revenue by 29%, as well as increase in distribution and administrative expense by 79% and 23% respectively.
On top of that, the company paid income taxes of Rs. 3.5 billion during the said period, unlike in SPLY where it got tax relief of around Rs. 587 million.
In a separate notice to Pakistan Stock Exchange, the company disclosed that the disappointing performance during the stated period was a consequence of extreme economic challenges prevailing in the country.
