February 12, 2019 (MLN): Pakistan Telecommunications Limited has stated consolidated bottom-line earnings of Rs. 5.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018, demonstrating an increase of 32% as compared to previous year.

According to the company’s financial earnings report, the profits were mainly driven by improvement in sales revenue, which depicted a growth of around Rs. 9 billion.

Further positive movements emanated from reduction in the company’s provision for income tax by around 40%.
Moreover, unlike previous year, there was no share of loss from associate companies for the said period which further led to stronger financial position of the company.
