August 25, 2020 (MLN): Standard Chartered Bank (Pakistan) Limited (SCBPL) has unveiled its financial results for 1HCY20 ended on June 20, 2020, as per which, the bank has reported a significant increase of 36% YoY in net profits which clocked in at Rs 9.85 billion (EPS: Rs 2.54) against net profits of Rs 7.23 billion of the same period last year.

The improvement in net earnings was mainly attributable to a  rise in Net interest income (NII), up by 19%  YoY.

The bank’s interest income rose 29%YoY in 1HCY20 but a greater percentage increase in interest expense by 41% YoY restricted the growth in bank’s net interest income (NII) to 19% YoY during the said period.

According to the financial results issued by the bank, during the period under review, non-funded income (NFI) of the bank jumped up by 41.55% YoY mainly on account of huge capital gains (up by 4.7 times YoY) and higher-income derivatives of Rs 990 million (up by 4.2 times YoY) despite a 21% YoY decline in fee and commission income.

However, the provisioning charges of Rs 1.27 billion reduced the favorable impact of NII and NFI to a certain extent. In 1HCY20, the bank paid taxes worth Rs 6.4 billion, up by 13% YoY.
