Janata Bank AGM endorses 8.42 % dividend

Kathmandu, December 15, 2013

Janata Bank Nepal Limited held its Annual General Meeting today. 

The fourth AGM of one of the newest commercial banks has  endorsed 8.42 percent dividend, including 3 percent bonus shares, to the shareholders from the net profit it posted in the last fiscal year 2069/70.

After the issuance of the bonus shares, Janata Bank’s paid-up capital will rise to Rs 2.06 arba.



The fact that Janata Bank  offered 8.42 percent dividend has come as a relief to the shareholders who were worried about the dividend since the bank had reported a significant loss in its first quarterly report published a few days back.

Janata Bank had reported a whopping 320 percent loss in its net profit releasing its unaudited first quarter report on November 17.

The commercial bank suffered a loss of Rs 5.98 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal year 2070/71 compared to Rs 2.71 crore net profit in earned in the corresponding quarter last year.

Despite earning a net interest income of Rs 11.9 crore in the first quarter as against just 9.39 crore in the corresponding quarter, the profit was negated by a staggering foreign exchange loss of 8.82 crore.

However, it has posted a net profit of Rs 19.73 crore in the last fiscal year.

Its current EPS (annualized) stands at Rs -11.97 and net worth per share at Rs 108.40
