October 23, 2018 (MLN): Otsuka Pakistan (OTSU)’s poor performance in the quarter ended September 30, 2018 is reflected in the alarming rate at which its profits nose-dived, when compared to the profits during last year’s first quarter.
The company lost out on over Rs.64 million worth of net sales during the period while gross profits were reduced by 25% over the year.
To add effect to that, OTSU’s total expenses hiked while income dropped abruptly.
A tax reduction of over Rs.24 million could not deflect the major decline of 90% in profits. The company has reported in basic and diluted earnings per share at Rs.0.3 per share, down from Rs.3.03 per share.
