Normalization of Admin Expenses to Result in Estimated EPS of PKR 1.64

Bank Al Falah Limited (BAFL) is scheduled to announce its 1QCY18 results on Thursday April 19, 2018. We expect the Bank to post earnings of PKR 1.64/share during the quarter, down 5.2% YoY and up 121.7% QoQ. The decline in earnings on a YoY basis is expected because of a rise in provisions charge for non-performing loans. Compared with 4QCY17, earnings are expected to rise in 1QCY18 because of normalization of administrative expenses. These expenses were unusually high in 4QCY17 because of certain non-recurring charges including consultancies and ex-gratia payments to outgoing executives.
