October 26, 2018 (MLN): Soneri Bank Limited (SNBL) has reported its cumulative profit for the three quarters of current year at Rs.1.3 billion, marking an increase of 5% over the gains in the corresponding period of last year.
SNBL’s net mark-up/return/interest income after provisions was uplifted considerably (+Rs.654 million), by reversals on provision against loans and advances (Rs.317.4 million).
However, as gain on sales of securities dropped by 73% (-Rs.758 million) it had the largest impact on the fall of total non-mark-up/interest income (-Rs.338 million).
Moreover, administrative expenses rose by Rs.251 million.
Nonetheless, Soneri Bank not only balanced the negative impact of these components, but also managed to ensure growth in profits.
SNBL’s basic and diluted earnings per share are Rs.1.17 per share.
