April 17, 2019 (MLN): Pakistan Telecommunication Company (PTC) has announced its financial result for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which shows that the Profit after Tax of the company has observed a remarkable growth of 95%. Thus, the net profits for the quarter have been recorded at Rs. 1.9 billion.

This surge in PAT can be easily attributed to the growth in company’s non-core income, which escalated by 66.2% to Rs. 1.4 billion.

Further relief in financial stability was brought in by steadiness in financial costs, which stood firm at Rs. 1.5 billion while income from core and non-core operations continued to grow.

Even though the tax expense grew by a decent margin of 66%, the company still managed to report an exceptional progress in its net financial earnings.
