September 14, 2020 (MLN): Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has revealed the financial result for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, which shows a loss of Rs. 3.24 billion (LPS: 3.67) for the period i.e. 11.3% lesser than that of the same period of the previous year.

According to the company’s financial report, the net sales increased by around 52% on the back of a heavy increase in gas development surcharge, 6.53x to be precise. The gross sales of the company, too, showed a growth of 29%.

On the other hand, the cost of sales increased by a margin of 55%, which led to gross losses of Rs. 1.74 billion i.e. a whopping 5.9x higher than the SPLY.

Further pressure was exerted by the 61% increase in finance cost, along with a 46% surge in non-core expenses. However, the impact of these changes was negated by an 88% decline in the income tax expense.
