The Board of Directors of Soneri Bank Limited, in their 216th meeting held in Karachi on Monday, approved the Bank’s financial statements of the first quarter ended 31 March 2026. The Bank’s stable performance across all functional areas underscores its operational robustness. This was achieved despite the dual challenges of a declining interest rate environment and inflationary trends, alongside the planned capital expenditure for expanding our branch footprint. The Bank posted Profit before tax (PBT) of Rs 2.795 billion and Profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 1.339 billion for the period ended 31 March 2026, as compared to Rs. 3.337 billion and Rs 1.147 billion respectively for the comparative period. The bottom-line growth resulted in an improved earnings per share of Rs 1.2146, up from Rs 1.0406. This reflects a period-on-period growth of 16.72 percent in shareholder returns.
