October 26, 2018 (MLN): Hascol Petroleum Limited (HASCOL) has reported its profits for the 3 quarters of current year at Rs.1.5 billion, up by 41% over the corresponding period of last year. The growth transpired despite vast increment in net exchange losses (+Rs. 2.3 billion).

HASCOL’s financial earnings report has shown that that while its net revenue grew by Rs.59.9 billion (+48%), its gross profits went up by Rs.3.8 billion (+85%) after accounting for the sales’ cost.

However, distribution and marketing expenses rose by Rs.864 million (+48%), while finance cost marked an increase of Rs.393.8 million (+101%).

Meanwhile, the heaviest decline came about as net exchange losses witnessed a massive growth of over Rs.2 billion, dragging down pre-tax profit growth to only 5% rise.

Luckily for the company, taxation declined by 41% while losses from discontinued operations remained nil, collectively causing the overall profit growth to increase.

HASCOL’s basic and diluted EPS stands at Rs.10.41 per share.

In addition to this, the company’s Board of Directors have recommended bonus shares in the proportion of one share for every four shares held (25%).
