August 23, 2024 (MLN): Soneri Bank Limited (PSX: SNBL) has revealed its financial statement today for quarter ended June 30, 2024, as per which the bank posted a profit worth Rs1.44 billion [EPS: Rs1.3093], depicting a growth of 39.11% compared to Rs1.04bn [EPS: Rs0.9412] profit earned in the same period last year (SPLY).

The Board of Directors (BoD) has also recommended an interim cash dividend of Rs1.25 per share i.e. 12.5%.

Going by the income statement, the bank witnessed an increase of 8.79% YoY in its net interest income (NII) to stand at Rs5.75bn, compared to Rs5.29bn in SPLY.

The surge in NII is due to a jump in interest-earning (Rs29.39bn), up by around 23% YoY.

Similarly, the bank’s total non-markup income increased significantly by 79.22% YoY to Rs2bn.

On the expense side, the bank’s total non-markup expenses surged by 30.6% to Rs4.65bn in Q2 2024 compared to Rs3.56bn in Q2 2023.

The increase was attributed to the jump of 29.98% YoY in operating expenses.

Similarly, SNBL’s expenses towards the Workers' welfare fund and other charges also went up during the review period.

In addition, the bank incurred a provision reversal of Rs165.06m during the review period compared to Rs329.81m in the corresponding period last year.
