April 30, 2019 (MLN): Hub Power Company Limited has posted Net Profits of Rs. 9 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, indicating a growth of 4.25% as compared to the figures reported in corresponding period last year.

Even though the topline earnings declined by 39%, the company still managed to report an increase in gross profits by 15%, due to a comparatively larger fall in cost of sales.

However, the company came under stress as finance costs went up by 52% on account of debt drawdowns for CAPEX amid rising interest rates.

Moreover, increase in share of loss from associates by 65% further constrained the financial position of the company.

The Earnings per share for the aforementioned period was stated at Rs. 7.41, around 3.64% higher than that of same period last year.
