April 25, 2025 (MLN): Habib Bank Limited (PSX: HBL) has reported a consolidated profit after tax of Rs16.63 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, reflecting an increase of 10.52% compared to Rs15.04bn in the same period last year (SPLY).

The bank has declared an interim cash dividend of Rs4.50 per share (45%).

The earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter stood at Rs11.32, compared to Rs10.37 in SPLY.
