July 30, 2019 (MLN): Mari Petroleum Company Limited (MARI) witnessed a 58% surge in its annual net profit which stood at Rs.24.33 billion (EPS: Rs.200.59 per share) against last year’s Rs.15.37 billion (EPS: Rs.126.77 per share).

Gas development surcharge for the year came down by Rs.1.7 billion or 16% to Rs.9.3 billion this year. Combined with other tax payments, this resulted in a 46% rise in net sales which stood at Rs.59.4 billion.

Since overall expenses grew at a slower pace than net sales and last year’s non-core expenses turned into income this year, the overall operating profit (Rs.33.7 billion) grew by 67.33%.

A Final Cash Dividend for the year ended June 30, 2019 @ Rs. 2.00 per share i.e. 20% was also announced, which is in addition to Interim Dividend already paid @ Rs. 4.00 per share i.e. 40%.

The Board of Directors also recommended to issue Bonus Shares in the proportion of ONE share for every TEN shares held, i.e. 10%.
