October 15, 2019 (MLN): International Steels Limited has declared net earnings of Rs. 347.9 million (EPS: Rs. 0.8) for the quarter ended on September 30, 2019, i.e. nearly 58% lower than the earnings of same period last year.

The sales revenue remained stable, despite company’s decision to lower prices of HRC. Moreover, the rise in the prices of HDGC and CRC, due to devaluation of local currency, failed to pull the revenue up.

The finance cost escalated by 133% due to increase in working capital requirements as well as higher interest rates on borrowings.

It is pertinent to note that the results of the company were somewhat in line with market expectations, wherein the general consensus was that earnings would go up by roughly 50%.
