March 11, 2021 (MLN): Hascol Petroleum Limited has incurred losses of Rs. 17.26 billion (LPS: 18.15) for the half-year ended June 30, 2020, i.e. nearly 42% lower than the losses recorded during the same period of last year.

The company reported a nearly 31% decline in revenue on account of lower volumetric sale. Despite a 28.8% decline in cost of sales, the gross losses of the company increased by 81x.  

Further strain on earnings was exerted by a 9x increase in impairment losses, coupled with a 13.4% increase in administrative expenses. However, the company got some respite from a 99% reduction in other expenses as well as a 68% increase in non-core income.

The company also saw a 32% increase in its finance costs, and paid taxes of Rs. 687 million as opposed to tax credit of Rs. 3.66 billion recorded during SPLY.
