February 26, 2019 (MLN): Pakistan Services Limited has announced its financial earnings for the cumulative period ended on December 31, 2018, as per which the company has incurred losses of Rs. 53 million (EPS: 1.92) for 2QFY19 and Rs. 385 million for 1HFY19. The results follow a downward trajectory as the company earned profits in SPLY.

The reason behind this downward trend has been attributed to decline in the company’s topline earnings by 5%, as well as increase in the cost of sales by 7%.

This was followed by an 88% increase in finance costs and 50% increase in income tax expense, subsequently leading to transition of company’s profits into losses.
