By MG News | April 24, 2020 at 10:51 AM GMT+05:00
April 24, 2020 (MLN): Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has announced its financial results for nine months ended March 31, 2020. According to the results, the company has posted its net profits of Rs 83 billion (EPS: Rs 19.45) i.e. lower by only 2% when compared to the net profits of Rs 85 billion (EPS: Rs 19.84) of the corresponding period last year.
The slender decrease in profitability came on the back of the drop in oil prices and fall in oil and gas production during the said period.
As per the financial statement issued by the company to PSX, the company’s revenue went up by 3.3% YoY to Rs 198 billion but more than a proportionate increase in the cost of royalty, operating expenses and transportation charges caused gross profits to increase marginally by 3.25% YoY to Rs 128 billion.
The exploration and prospecting cost of the company reached to Rs 13 billion, up by 2 times higher than YoY on an account of three dry wells (Katiar-01, Rangunwari-01, and Nashpa-5A), as per Arif Habib research.
More notably, the colossal increase in finance cost by 86% YoY, from Rs 1.25 billion to Rs 2.33 billion dented the company’s performance owing to higher interest rates.
However, the decline in earnings was restricted by PKR depreciation, higher contribution of earnings from MARI, revealed a research report by IGI securities.
