April 29, 2019 (MLN): Kohat Cement Company Limited (KOHC) has disclosed net profits of Rs. 2.1 billion (EPS: Rs. 10.81) for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, indicating a decline of 5% as compared to profits reported in the same period last year.

The topline earnings of the company clocked in at Rs. 12.2 billion, up by approximately 18% mainly due to improvement in retention prices. However, the positive impact of improved topline was mitigated by hike in power tariffs and fuel prices, which led to an increase in Cost of sales by 27%.

However, finance costs went down by 29% in spite of increase in borrowing rates. Moreover, the taxation expense remained somewhat stable during the period, brushing off some of the burden on the company.
