MG News | April 18, 2025 at 03:19 PM GMT+05:00
April 18, 2025 (MLN): Samba Bank Limited (PSX: SBL) reported a profit after tax of Rs166.85 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, reflecting a sharp 53.48% decline compared to Rs358.68m in the same period last year.
Earnings per share (EPS) dropped to Rs0.17 from Rs0.36, down 52.78% year-on-year.
The fall in profitability was primarily driven by a 16.10% drop in net mark-up/interest income, which stood at Rs1.56 billion, down from Rs1.86bn.
This decline occurred despite a 30.60% decrease in mark-up/interest expenses to Rs3.97bn, as mark-up earned also declined by 4.33% to Rs5.53bn.
While dividend income increased by 40.24% and foreign exchange income rose by 6.83%, other income plummeted by 73.27%, and fee and commission income dropped 5.72%.
Operating expenses remained largely flat, edging up 1.09% to Rs1.34bn.
Provisions for credit losses, however, surged by 79.08%, further impacting earnings.
As a result, profit before tax fell 49.39% to Rs355.22m, while tax expenses dropped 45.11% to Rs188.37m, offering limited offset to the overall decline in bottom-line profitability.
