The bank’s profitability, based on the consolidated financial statements, was driven by an 87.2% surge in net mark-up/interest income, which reached PKR 73.9 billion compared to PKR 39.5 billion last year. The increase was coupled by a 67.8% rise in mark-up/interest earned, amounting to PKR 221.5 billion and optimization of funding pool to contain the increase in interest expense at a level of 59% YoY. Additionally, non-markup income contributed significantly rising by 23.3% to PKR 16.28 billion, with Fee and Commission income increase by 52% YoY to reach at PKR 8.98 billion (2023: PKR 5.97 billion), and a 288.64% increase in gains on securities.
The Earnings per Share (EPS) stood at PKR 5.03, based on consolidated financial statements, and on a standalone basis at PKR 1.39. However, as compared to the last year, the consolidated EPS declined by 16.17% to PKR 5.03 from PKR 6, primarily due to the impact of increased taxation.
