The bank’s Board of Directors, in its 212th meeting held on Wednesday, approved the financial statements. The board did not recommend any cash dividend, bonus shares, right shares, or other corporate actions for this period.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the bank posted a profit after taxation of PKR 806.91 million, compared to PKR 1.55 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2024, marking a 47.94% decrease. The earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter stood at PKR 0.73, down from PKR 1.41 last year.
For the cumulative nine-month period, the profit after taxation was PKR 3.30 billion (EPS: PKR 3.00), compared to a restated profit of PKR 4.77 billion (EPS: PKR 4.32) for the same period in 2024.
The bank’s net mark-up/interest income for the nine months showed improvement, rising to PKR 20.99 billion from PKR 18.84 billion last year, indicating better core banking performance. While the same for the quarter fell to Rs 6.74 billion from Rs 6.9 billion recorded previously.
Total non mark-up/interest income also saw a healthy increase to PKR 27.52 billion from PKR 24.06 billion, driven by gains on securities and foreign exchange income.
However, non mark-up/interest expenses grew to PKR 17.83 billion from PKR 14.52 billion, primarily due to an increase in operating expenses.
