Ismail Iqbal Securities claims that the tax reversal of Rs. 888 million in 4QCY22 has been the main factor driving earnings increase. This is probably because the super tax issue was decided by the Sindh High Court, which ruled that the levy would not be levied retroactively. Recall that, based on CY21/FY22 earnings, a Super tax of 10% was imposed on 15 sectors for the tax year 2022.
The company’s financing costs increased 63 percent YoY to RS 2.62 billion in CY22, most likely as a result of greater operating expenses and problems with fertilizer production brought on by long wait times for letters of credit (LCs) to clear imports of raw materials.

In CY22, EFERT reported effective taxation of 40%. Recall that the Super Tax caused the company’s effective tax rate to increase to 101 percent in 2QCY22.
In 4QCY22, EFERT reported earnings of Rs. 4.79 per share, an increase of 4% over the SPLY. The results were higher than analysts’ expectations of Rs. 3.07 per share, with the primary causes of the difference being greater than anticipated other income and a tax refund of Rs. 888 million.
