February 1, 2021 (MLN): International Industries Limited has announced a massive growth in its earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of last year, from Rs. 170.2 million to Rs. 3.86 billion.

The earnings per share of the company stood at Rs. 20.13 per share, as compared to an LPS of Rs. 0.93 reported in the same period of last year.

The company also announced an interim cash dividend for the half-year ended December 31, 2020 at Rs. 3.5 per share, that is 35%.

The stellar performance of the company was driven by a strong sales growth of 35.2%, which when combined with the change in COGS, resulted in a 110.5% increase in gross profit.

The decline in major expense heads of the company, as well as the finance cost, further boosted the performance. However, a massive increase in non-core expenses slightly dented the margins.
