Flash Note: International Steels Limited - Tax Reversals Support Earnings
- International Steels (ISL) announced its 2QFY19 result, where it posted PAT of PKR907mn (EPS: PKR2.09), down 23%YoY from PKR841mn (EPS: PKR2.71) in 2QFY18 owing to GM contraction and higher finance cost.
- While the earnings came in line with our expectation of PKR2.10/share, there were significant variations where topline exceeded our expectation, GM shrank significantly in comparison to our expectation of no change, finance cost was lower than our projection, and 4% tax reversal was booked likely on account of BMR tax credit (PKR540mn available) with new CRC plant’s COD.
- Along with the result, ISL announced DPS of PKR1.5 which was in line with our expectation.
