November 27, 2020(MLN): K-Electric Limited has announced its financial results for the 1st quarter ended September 30,2020 as per which, it has earned net profits of Rs 1.11 billion (EPS: 0.04), i.e. 58% lower than the net profits recorded in the same period of last year.

Pursuant to the details provided to Exchange, the company witnessed around a 5% decline in revenue on the back of decreased tariff adjustments (down by 37% YoY) whereas, the cost of sales fell by 7% YoY owing to a reduction in consumption of fuel and oil. However, the company managed to increase its gross profits by 7% YoY to Rs 13.86 billion during the said period.

The increase in the company’s other operating expenses by 2.36 times YoY, a 50% increase in impairment loss against trade debts along a 51% decline in non-income, undermined the financial health of the company during the period.

However, a decrease in the finance costs by 17% YoY, as well as income tax expense by 24%, provided some solace to the wellbeing of the company.
