October 30, 2024 (MLN): Roshan Packages Limited (PSX: RPL) experienced a rise of 17.9% YoY in its profits, earning a profit after tax of Rs125.91 million [EPS: Rs0.89], compared to a profit of Rs106.77m [EPS: Rs0.75] in the same period last year (SPLY).

Going by the results, the company's top line dropped 23.9% to Rs2.37bn as compared to Rs3.11bn in SPLY.

The cost of sales fell by 23% but as the drop in sales was larger higher, the gross profit worsened by 32% to Rs198.82m in Q3 CY24.

Hence, despite weak sales and lower other income, RPL managed to report a higher profit due to tax credits and reduced finance costs.

During the period under review, other income slipped 18.7% to stand at Rs48.22m in Q3 CY24 as compared to Rs59.29m in SPLY.

On the expense side, the company's administration expenses rose 19.3% YoY to Rs71.2m.
