February 12, 2020 (MLN): Meezan Bank Limited (MEBL) has announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2019. As per results, the bank witnessed a robust growth of 73% in its annual profits, standing at Rs 15.77 billion which translated into an EPS of Rs 12.12.

This robust growth was mainly attributable to higher Net Spread earned (65% YoY) and increased other income (71% YoY) despite a 29% YoY increase in operating expenses during CY19.

Moreover, seasonal factors such as higher fee income by 8.86%YoY and increased dividend income by 14% supported core income in pulling up earnings growth.

During the period under review, the foreign exchange income surged by 2 times YoY to clock in at Rs 2.68 billion against Rs 1.31billion of last year.

Alongside financial results, the Board of Directors of the bank announced a final cash dividend at Rs 2 per share i.e. 20%. This is in addition to Interim Dividend already paid at Rs 3 per share i.e. 30%
