October 23, 2019: Nishat Power Limited (NPL) has declared net earnings of Rs. 1.3 billion (EPS: Rs. 3.779) for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, i.e. around 36% higher as compared to the corresponding period of last year.

According to the notification issued to PSX by the company, the top-line earnings decreased by 15.29% to Rs. 4.9 billion due to drop in load factor. However, the decline in cost of sales by 30% helped in lifting the gross profits by 37%.

According to a research report by BIPL Securities, the gross margins of the company improved on the back of lower O&Ms as well as higher efficiency.

Even though the finance costs surged considerably by 80%, the company’s overall result for the period turned out to be prolific.
