Soneri Bank Limited announced earnings results for the full year ended December 31, 2017. For the year, the company has posted profit before tax of PKR 2,830.97 million and profit after tax of PKR 1,643.33 million. This translates into earnings per share of PKR 1.4906 compared to PKR 1.7042 for the same period a year ago. The variance in earnings mainly caused by the low interest rate environment was partially offset by volumetric growth in the Balance Sheet and an increase in trade volumes drove the company’s non-markup income up compared to 2016. Net mark-up/return/interest income was PKR 6,658,898,000 against PKR 6,844,138,000 a year ago. Net mark-up/return/interest income after provisions was PKR 6,592,451,000 against PKR 6,819,731,000 a year ago.
