October 29, 2019 (MLN): Nishat Chunian Power Limited (NCPL) has declared its financial results today for the quarter ended September 30th 2019, according to which it has posted its net profits of Rs 1 billion (EPS: Rs2.91), up by 19% YoY compared to last year net profit of Rs 897 million (EPS: Rs 2.44).

During the period, top-line earnings of the company surged to 5.13% YoY owing to higher PKR/USD indexation which was partly offset by the lower load factor.

More notably, the colossal increase in finance cost by 91% as a result of short term borrowings along with higher interest rates, offset the profitability of the company.

The profitability of the company rose due to top-line earnings on the back of greater load factor in 1QFY20 when compared to 4QFY19.
