Those sterile days seem to be behind it as the company posted another quarter of strong results to September, with after tax profit jumping 158 percent to $727 million from $285 million in 2019. Earnings per share for the quarter ended at 88 cents and $3.29 for the year.
For the latest quarter, revenues climbed 17 percent from $1.16 billion to $1.36 billion and rose a solid 29 percent from $3.98 billion to $5.14 billion for the full year. There were major shifts in the lines of income generated during the year. Net Interest income rose a robust 35.5 percent from $650 million to $881 million for the year, while Fees and Commission Income more than doubled to $1.84 billion from $847 million. Foreign exchange trading brought in $978 million versus just $199 million in the prior year. Investment activity suffered from a fall, with $1.36 billion generated in 2020 versus $1.94 billion in 2019. September quarter Investment activity revenues declined even more than for the year with an income of $701 million in 2019 versus just $251 million this year.
While the revenues were growing attractively, expenses grew modestly in the final quarter by two percent, moving from $697 million to $710 million, but climbed a more robust 32 percent for the year from $1.53 billion in 2019 to $2 billion. Tax liability dropped sharply from $742 million in 2019 to $393 million, despite the rise in pretax profit.

Oblivious of those concerns, local and overseas’ based investors piled into a public issue of shares in September, priced around $50 each and invested $13.5 billion of fresh capital in the company after the issue was heavily oversubscribed.
