September 05, 2024 (MLN): Kohat Cement Limited (PSX: KOHC) recorded an increase of 420.4% in its profitability during the quarter ending June 2024 compared to last year despite a decline in sales revenue.
The company made a profit after tax of Rs2.38 billion [EPS: Rs12.16], compared to a profit of Rs457.88 million [EPS: Rs2.28] in the same period last year (SPLY).

Going by the results, the company's sales went down by 4.6% to Rs8.68bn as compared to Rs9.1bn in SPLY.
However, the cost of sales also fell by 10.7%, improving the gross profit by 11.8% to Rs2.75bn in Q4 FY24.
The gross margins increased to 31.8% as compared to 27.1% in SPLY.
During the period under review, other income jumped 76.1% to stand at Rs1.31bn in Q4 FY24 as compared to Rs744.16m in SPLY.
On the expense side, the company's administrative expenses rose 20.0% from a year ago to Rs126.74m, while selling and distribution expenses fell 1.2% to Rs59.56m.
The company’s finance cost decreased by 37.8% and stood at Rs142.57m as compared to Rs229.1m in SPLY.
On the tax front, the company paid a lower tax worth Rs1.41bn against the Rs2.18bn paid in the corresponding period of last year, depicting a decrease of 35.3%.
This translates to an effective tax rate of 37.2% as compared to 82.7% in SPLY.
