MG News | January 21, 2020 at 04:41 PM GMT+05:00
January 21, 2020 (MLN): Pakistan Oilfields Limited has declared earnings of Rs. 8.73 billion (EPS: Rs. 30.73) for the first six months of Fiscal Year 2020, signifying a growth of 10.4% over the same period of last year. The Company also announced an Interim Cash Dividend for the half year at Rs. 20 per share i.e. 200%.
According to the reasoning provided by Fortune Securities, the company’s earnings grew as a result of higher USD average and low operating expenditure and exploration costs.
The USD/PKR disparity also helped the net revenue of the company to stay firm, despite a fall in the production of hydrocarbon output as well as oil prices.
The operating costs depicted a decline of 7.9% on account of reduction in decommissioning costs resulting from higher discount rates.
