Mari Energies Limited, formerly known as Mari Petroleum Company Limited (MARI), posted a profit-after-tax (PAT) of Rs11.17 billion in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 (2QFY25), a decline of over 39% year-on-year (YoY) compared to PAT of Rs18.36 billion in the same period of the previous year.

Its Board of Directors (BoD) in a meeting held on Monday reviewed the financial performance of the company for the period ended on December 31, 2024. During the meeting, the BoD announced no cash dividend.

As per the latest financials, the company’s earnings per share (EPS) stood at Rs9.3 per share, against Rs15.29 per share in SPLY.

“The result was below expectations as the market was expecting earnings of Rs11-14/share,” said Topline Securities.

Furthermore, unlike street expectations of Rs10-15/share, the company did not declare any cash dividend for 1HFY25, it added.

The decline in profit was attributed to lower revenue and higher expenses incurred during the period.

MARI’s gross sales decreased by nearly 9% to Rs46.67 billion as compared to Rs51.11 billion recorded in the previous year.
