October 21, 2024 (MLN): Meezan Bank Limited's (PSX: MEBL) earnings for the quarter ended September 2024 fell short of market expectations.

The company reported a profit after tax worth Rs25.77 billion, which translates to earnings per share of Rs14.36 against the market's average forecast of Rs15.98.

The dividend payout of Rs7 per share met the median expectations.

Earnings were just 1.27% higher than last year's period when the company recorded a profit after tax of Rs25.45bn [EPS: Rs14.21].

The constrained profit growth is attributed to an increase in provisioning which surged to Rs2.57bn during the quarter from Rs781.83m in SPLY.

Going by the income statement, the bank's net return earned on Islamic financing and related assets sustained its climb and rose to Rs78.86bn in Q3 CY24, reflecting a gain of 19.96% compared to SPLY.

Likewise, the bank's non-markup income increased 5.4% to Rs6.53bn in Q3 CY24.

The rise in non-markup income comes due to improved and expanded economic activity and customer base in the country.

Consequently, both fee and commission income and dividend income grew.

Another crucial point to highlight was the turnaround in its securities income, which recorded a positive Rs167.9m compared to a loss of Rs526.27m in Q3 CY23.

On the expense side, the total non-markup expenses increased by 18.83% YoY to Rs23.18bn in Q3 CY24.

The increase was attributed to a substantial rise in the bank’s operating expenses.

On the tax front, the bank paid Rs31.86bn, around 30% higher than the amount paid in Q3 CY23.
