October 25, 2019 (MLN): Meezan Bank Limited (MEBL) has reported profits of Rs. 10.8 billion (EPS: Rs. 8.44) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which translates into a growth of 69% as compared to the same period of last year.

The robust increase in profits largely came from exceptional growth in return earned on Islamic financing and related investments by 99.44%.

Moreover, MEBL’s non-core income surged by a substantial margin due to rise in income earned from foreign exchange operations and fee and commission income, which went up by 68.6% and 13.1% respectively.

Even though the total non-core expenses surged by 29.4%, the overall financial performance during the period was remarkable.

The Board of Directors of MEBL also announced an Interim Cash Dividend for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 at Rs. 1 per share i.e. 10%. This is in addition to interim Dividend(s) already paid at Rs. 2 per share i.e. 20%.
