September 14, 2020 (MLN): Hi-Tech Lubricants Limited has earned a profit of Rs. 121.6 million (EPS: 1.05) during the year ended June 30, 2020, i.e. almost double the amount it earned in the previous year.
The Board of Directors of the company also recommended a final cash dividend for the year at Rs. 0.9 per share i.e. 9%.
According to the company’s financial results, the net revenue declined by 40% despite a fall of 47.65% in discounts and 15.3% in sales tax. However, a fall of almost 43% in the cost of sales helped in negating the impact of lower sales on the gross profit.
While there was an increase in the administrative expenses by 48.3%, the company went on to benefit from a decline in distribution expense by 13%, non-core expense by 68.6%, and an increase in other income by 60%.
Furthermore, the decline in finance cost by 25% as well as the presence of tax credit helped in boosting the bottom-line income of the company.
