April 26, 2019 (MLN):  Engro Foods Limited (EFOODS) has announced its financial results for the quarter ended on March 31st 2019, as per which the company posted a massive decline in its net profits after tax by 72% to Rs 83.4 million with EPS at Rs 0.11 compared to Rs 301.3 million (EPS: 0.39) posted in the same quarter last year.

During the quarter, the company observed 21.5% uptick in net sales which helped limit the impact of around 27% rise in cost of sales.

On the other hand, rise in distribution expenses, administrative expenses and finance cost by 12.5%, 56% and 75.5% respectively, put a dent on the profitability of the company.

Furthermore, the company enjoyed 80% of reduction in tax payments YoY,  but the impact failed to elevate the company's net profits.
