October 23, 2020 (MLN): Nestle Pakistan Limited has earned profits of Rs. 6.19 billion (EPS: 136.62) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, i.e. 13% higher than the net income recorded in the same period of last year.
The company also announced a second Interim Cash Dividend of Rs. 50 per share i.e. 500%.
According to the financial report issued by the company, the net revenue grew merely by 2% whereas the cost of sales surged by 1%, prompting the gross profit to grow by 4%.
Some respite was gained from a 24% decline in non-core expense, however, the impact of that was mostly negated by a fall in other income by 40%.
Other significant costs such as Finance and Taxation increased by 3.1% and 11.2%, respectively.
