March 20, 2019 (MLN): Jahangir Siddiqui and Co. Limited has reported annual profits of Rs. 814 million (EPS: 0.7) for the year ended December 31, 2018, i.e. 53.45% lower than the profits of last year. The decline in net earnings was a result of a larger increase in company’s total expenses (35.75%) as compared to total income (26.88%).

The finance costs in particular caused most of the damage as they proliferated by 50%, i.e. around Rs. 7 billion. This was followed by administrative and other expenses which grew by 22%, i.e. Rs. 2 billion.

However, the company gained some respite from decline in taxation expense by 37.3%. One of the reasons for this decline was presence of deferred tax of around Rs. 90 million.
