March 25, 2019 (MLN): Pak Suzuki Motors Company Limited (PSMC) has reported net profit of Rs. 1.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018, i.e. approximately 66% lower than the profit of last year. Moreover, the Company’s Earing per Share stood at Rs. 15.77.

The cost of sales increased by a greater amount (Rs. 20 billion) as compared to the increase in sales revenue (Rs. 18 billion).
