February 26, 2021 (MLN): Hub Power Company Limited (HUBC) has posted earnings of Rs. 16.88 billion (EPS: 12.60) for the half-year ended December 31, 2020, i.e. around 48% higher than the earnings recorded in same period of last year.

The company also announced an Interim Cash Dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 @ Rs.3 per share i.e. 30%. This is addition to the interim dividend already paid at Rs. 4 per share i.e. 40%.

The boost in the company’s earnings came from a rise in revenue by 9%, which in turn was a result of recognition of share of profit from China Power Hub Generation Company (CPHGC) as well as an increase in total dispatches. Likewise, the gross profit increased by 10% due to PKR depreciation.

There was a 40% decline in the company’s finance cost due to lower interest rates. Nonetheless, HUBC faced some setback as its income tax expense surged by nearly 13x.
