MG News | February 25, 2021 at 02:52 PM GMT+05:00
February 25, 2021 (MLN): Pioneer Cement Limited (PIOC) has reported profits of Rs. 606.5 million (EPS: 2.67) for the half-year ended December 31, 2020, against losses of Rs. 111.6 million (LPS: 0.49) reported during the same period of last year.
The improvement in the company’s financial performance was a result of the tax credit of Rs. 261.1 million on the new credit line, as per a report by Insight Securities.
The company also saw a 106% growth in its total revenue owing to higher retention prices as well as increase in dispatches.
Despite lower interest rates, the company saw a 3.6x growth in finance costs owing to the expenditure incurred on PIOC’s expansion project.
