ENGRO - Healthy results drive profitability
ENGRO just announced their 3QCY23 results, posting a consolidated EPS of PkR22.68/sh vs. EPS of PkR13.91/sh in the SPLY (↑30.1%). On a YoY basis, the company posted a 49.9% increase in revenue, due to higher top lines posted by all group entities, especially EFERT and EPCL. Total 9MCY23 EPS came in at PkR41.8/sh (↑56.1%YoY). Further, the company has announced a PkR4.0/sh dividend for 3QCY23, taking total 9MCY23 payout to PkR46.0/sh.
- Revenues of EFERT, EPCL and FCEPL reflected healthy topline growth of 72.4%, 31.4% and 10% respectively. Healthy margins and normalized tax for the quarter afforded higher bottomlines for EFERT and EPCL lending support to the Group’s bottomline.
- We opine higher LNG quantum handling by Engro Elengy to have boosted the company’s earnings for the quarter.
- Share of profits from associates and joint venture showed a marginal decline of 14.4%QoQ to PkR1.5bn against PkR1.7bn last quarter but rose by 80.9%YoY, which we believe is owing to consistent results by VOPAK and SECMC.
- Finance cost stood higher at PkR11.9bn vs. PkR11.4bn (2QCY23) and PkR7.1bn (3QCY22) mainly due to lingering high interest rates, however, this benefitted the company by translating to higher other income (↑2.3%/70.8% QoQ/YoY).
