April 26, 2019 (MLN): Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC) has announced bottom-line earnings of Rs. 85 billion for the nine months period ended March 31, 2019, signifying a growth of 50% as compared to earnings reported in the same period last year.

The company’s top-line benefited primarily from PKR devaluation as well as growth in gas production. However, fall in oil prices during the quarter exerted some pressure on the company.

The company’s exploration expense decreased by 41% as there was only one dry well to bear as opposed to two dry well in the same period last year.

The company also announced an Interim Cash Dividend of Rs. 2.75 per share i.e. 27.5%. This is in addition to Interim Cash Dividend already paid at Rs. 5.75 per share i.e. 57.50%
