February 26, 2025 (MLN): Silkbank Limited (PSX: SILK) reported its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024, revealing an increase in net losses to Rs13.04 billion (LPS: Rs1.44) compared to Rs12.79bn (LPS: Rs1.41) in the previous year.

The rise in losses was primarily driven by higher provisions and operating expenses.

The bank’s net markup interest expense widened by 8.51% to Rs13.07bn due to a slight increase in markup expenses.

Non-markup income declined by 7.35% to Rs3.48bn, mainly due to a 36.25% drop in foreign exchange income and a 49.15% decline in other income.

Operating expenses surged 9.90% to Rs8.55bn, while provisions and write-offs saw a sharp increase of 72.43% to Rs7.78bn.

As a result, the bank’s pre-tax loss expanded by 25.63% to Rs25.95bn.

However, a 64.02% rise in tax adjustments to Rs12.91bn provided some relief, limiting the overall increase in net losses.
