The gross profit for the period, however, increased by only 19.3% mainly due to high cost of feedstock and fuel prices. The operating profit during the period grew by 15.8% from PKR 1.5 billion to PKR 1.7 billion, but the benefit of improved operating cost was hampered by high financial cost which grew by 254% caused by increased policy rate and higher utilization of financing. This diluted the profit before taxation by 58%. The basic earnings per share is reported at PKR 3.01 as compared to PKR 6.57 for the corresponding period of last year.
