October 22, 2018 (MLN): Sazgar Engineering Works (SAZEW) has undergone almost 22% decline in quarterly profits for the period ended September 30, 2018, as profits slipped from Rs.37.6 million during the first quarter of last year, to Rs.29.4 million.

The decline is attributed to the significant drop worth Rs.83.8 million in net sales. Meanwhile, the company’s gross profits tumbled by 11%.

In addition to this, SAZEW’s overall expenses grew over the year as finance cost increased by 24%

The collective impact of these components dragged down the company’s total profits substantially.

Moreover, SAZEW’s basic and diluted earnings per share declined by Rs.0.38 per share as they logged in at Rs.1.36 per share.
