While the company will still post a solid profit, weaker oil and gas prices have taken a toll on revenues and earnings compared to last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Earnings and dividends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the quarter, PPL\u2019s earnings per share (EPS) are expected at <strong>PKR 7.4<\/strong>, translating into a profit of about <strong>PKR 20 billion<\/strong>. This is <strong>down 52% year-on-year (YoY)<\/strong> and <strong>down 8% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ)<\/strong>.<br>The company is also expected to announce a <strong>final cash dividend of PKR 2.5 per share<\/strong>, bringing the total payout for FY25 to <strong>PKR 7.5 per share<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the drop in earnings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest reason is a sharp <strong>43% YoY fall in net sales<\/strong>, expected at <strong>PKR 56 billion<\/strong> this quarter. This decline is due to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lower international crude oil and natural gas prices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced production because of forced curtailments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On the cost side, royalties and other levies are likely to fall <strong>42% YoY<\/strong>, while exploration expenses may drop <strong>21% QoQ<\/strong> due to lower drilling activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other income helps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the revenue hit, PPL will still benefit from strong <strong>other income<\/strong>, expected at <strong>PKR 4.3 billion<\/strong>, mainly from finance income. Lower interest rates did reduce returns slightly, but the income remains healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full-year picture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the full FY25, PPL is projected to earn <strong>PKR 93 billion<\/strong> (EPS: <strong>PKR 34.1<\/strong>), which is <strong>19% lower<\/strong> than last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PPL\u2019s upcoming results will show how sensitive oil and gas companies are to global price swings. Strong dividends keep it attractive for income-focused investors, but earnings pressure could remain if energy prices stay weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source: Taurus Securities Limited<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) is expected to report a mixed set of numbers for the fourth quarter of FY25.
