February 12, 2021 (MLN): Nishat Power Limited (NPL) announced its financial results for the half-year ended December 31, 2020 on Friday, which show earnings of Rs. 1.46 billion (EPS: 4.14), i.e. nearly 41% lower than the profits recorded during the same period of last year.

The drop in earnings by such a margin was a result of repayment of long-term loan, which resulted in absence of debt servicing charge in capacity payments for FY21.

The company also saw a decline in revenue by 25.5% on account of lower FO prices and lower dispatches.

However, the company drew some relief from a decline in finance cost by 71.3%, owing to lower short-term borrowings as well as lower interest rate.
