October 25, 2019 (MLN): Thal Limited, has declared consolidated profits of Rs. 650.3 million for the quarter September 30th, 2019  approximately 33% lower than the parallel period last year. The company recorded its EPS at Rs. 7.04 per share for the same period.

The drop in financial earnings came largely due to a decline in net revenues by 18.6%, which led the gross margins to decline considerably from 18% to 8%.

The decline in profitability was also attributable to a surge in the company’s core expenses and finance cost. Core expenses such as distribution cost and admin cost jumped by 11.5% and 2% respectively, whereas, finance cost increased significantly by 1053%.

Despite experiencing improvement in the company’s other income and reduction in tax expenses by 28.4% and 33.6% respectively, the impact failed to lift Thal’s profitability.
