MG News | October 24, 2019 at 03:21 PM GMT+05:00
October 24, 2019: Maple Leaf Cement has posted losses of Rs. 982.3 million (LPS: Rs. 1.65) for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, against profits of Rs. 586.6 million (EPS: Rs. 0.99) reported in same period of last year.
The company’s topline earnings grew by 26% on the back of higher dispatches, thanks to the rise in overall market share after the implementation of expansion strategies.
However, the cost of sales surged by around 67.8% due to higher gas tariff, increase in Federal Excise Duty (FED) as well as higher input costs owing to PKR devaluation.
The company also witnessed a twofold increase in finance costs due to higher working capital requirements and increase in interest rates.
On the brighter side, the company saw a colossal rise in non-core income due to better returns from short-term investments.
