As per the financial earnings’ results for the year ended on June 30th 2018, National Foods Limited gained 5.5% in annual profits, saved by substantial tax reduction.

The company conducted its Board of Directors meeting on September 6th 2018 in which the earnings for the above mentioned period were reviewed and a year-on-year comparison was drawn.

According to the reports issued to PSX, the company’s sales went up by 28% during the year, whereas Gross Profits increased by 23%.

However, since all the expenses grew, including distribution cost which went up from Rs.3.5 billion to Rs.4.2 billion YoY, profits before taxation dropped by 11%.

Luckily for National Foods, net tax provisions were reduced by 57% this year, resulting in 5.5% increment in bottom-line profits as they increased from Rs.973.3 million during the year ended June 30th 2017, to Rs.1 billion during the last year ended.

The company’s basic and diluted earnings per share increased from Rs.9.2 per share to Rs.9.74 per share, YoY.

Apart from this, the board recommended a final cash dividend at Rs.3.75 per share, i.e. 75%.

They further recommended to issue bonus shares in the proportion of one share for every five shares held i.e. 20%.
