Earning Review: ACPL’s profitability stays flat

October 15, 2019 (MLN): Profitability for Attock Cement Pakistan Limited (ACPL) for the quarter ended on September 30, 2019, remained flat at Rs 421 million with Earning per share (EPS) stood at Rs 3 as compared to same quarter last year.

The top-line earnings of the company declined by 5%YoY to Rs 5.3 billion during 1QFY20 due to extended monsoon seasons and weak local demand, while the cost of sales deteriorated by 10.67% YoY, which led the gross profits to surge by 14% YoY.

Moreover, gross level margins also incremented by 4 ppts YoY to 25% on account of lower coal prices but depreciation of Pakistani Rupee against USD curbed the benefits to some extent.

With regards to company’s major expense heads, distribution, admin and other cost surged by 4%, 3% and 44% YoY respectively, whereas, finance cost hovered by 29% YoY due to higher interest rates.

The company also witnessed an increase in tax expenses by 69% YoY which further eroded company’s profitability.

October 15, 2019 (MLN): The Board of Directors of Engro Polymers and Chemical Limited held its meeting today, to discuss and present the financial results for the nine months ended on September 30, 2019.

As per the document issued to Pakistan Stock Exchange, the company has posted net earnings of Rs. 2.8 billion for the said period, which signifies a decline of 27% over the same period of last year.

While the increase in the prices of PVC helped lift topline income by 9%, the hike in gas tariffs pushed cost of sales up by 11%.

The non-core income of the company surged by 14% owing to returns from various short term investments as well as foreign exchange. On the other hand, finance costs swelled by 165% due to higher interest rates.

The company also announced an Interim Cash Dividend for the said period at Rs. 0.6 per share i.e. 6%.
