 October 23, 2018 (MLN):  Meezan Bank Limited has gained 43.8% in consolidated profits for the nine month period that ended on September 30, 2018 as compared to the profits earning during the corresponding period on prior year.

According to the company’s financial statement issued to PSX earlier today, Meezan Bank’s net spread earned rose by 27% while net spread after provision went up by 28% on account of significantly reduced provision against diminution in the value of investments.

While total non-core income dropped by Rs.304 million and total non-core expenses rose by Rs.1.5 billion, some of the negative impact of these components was annulled due to higher share of results from associates.

Apart from this, Meezan’s basic and diluted earnings per share for the period have increased by Rs.1.69 per share, as it stands in at Rs.6.04 per share.
