October 2, 2018 (MLN): Hum Network Limited (HNL) has reported a 17.5% decline in its annual consolidated profits for the year ended June 30^th 2018, mainly due to surging cost of production, finance costs and tax provisions.

A Board of Directors meeting took place earlier today, in which the board reviewed the company’s financial statement for the year and drew a comparison with the earnings made during the previous year, i.e. the year ended June 30^th 2017.

As per the financial statement issued to the PSX, the company’s revenue for the year increased marginally by a mere 0.5% on a year-on-year (YoY) basis.

However, Rs.199 million increase in cost of production and Rs.102.5 million increase in transmission costs weighed down gross profits by 12.6%.

The company found momentary relief from 82% lower non-core expenses and 54% higher non-core income.

Unfortunately, since finance cost leapt up by 55% and the company spent Rs.51.6 million higher on tax provisions, the overall profits dipped by Rs.179 million, YoY.

Hum Network further recorded a 17.6% drop in basic and diluted earnings per shares, from Rs.1.08 per share to Rs.0.89 per share. YoY
