First Capital Holdings PLC

PROVISIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

First Capital Holdings PLC (the Group) recorded a Total Comprehensive Income of Rs. 904Mn for the six months ended 30 September 2024 compared to Rs. 9.58Bn recorded in the corresponding period of the previous year.

The Group's Net Income before Operating Expenses for the 1st half of 2024/25 was Rs. 1.90Bn compared to Rs. 16.61Bn reported in the corresponding period of the previous year. The significant variance was due to an extraordinary gain realised in the last year resulting from the extraordinary decline in interest rates witnessed, post domestic debt optimisation. The lower contribution via business activities of the Group, stemmed from the Primary Dealer division mainly, as the corresponding period of the previous year saw substantial easing of monetary policy rates and resultant conducive secondary market trading that was not seen in the current year.

The Primary Dealer division reported a Profit after Tax of Rs. 578Mn for the six months ended 30 September 2024 (2023/24 - Profit after Tax of Rs. 9.21Bn). The Results include a trading gain on sale of government securities portfolio amounting to Rs. 1.24Bn and net interest income of Rs. 834Mn (2023/24 - Net trading gain on sale of government securities portfolio of Rs. 13.6Bn and net interest income of Rs. 2Bn were included).

The Corporate Finance Advisory and Dealing Securities division reported a Profit after Tax of Rs. 264Mn for the six months ended 30 September 2024 (2023/24 - Profit after Tax of Rs. 337Mn).

The Wealth Management division reported a Profit after Tax of Rs. 49Mn for the six months ended 30 September 2024 (2023/24 - Profit after Tax of Rs. 18Mn). The assets under management of the division stood at Rs. 95.7Bn as of 30 September 2024 (31 March 2024 - Rs. 94Bn).

The Stock Brokering division recorded a Profit after Tax of Rs. 6Mn for the six months ended 30 September 2024 (2023/24 - Profit after tax of Rs. 31Mn).

First Capital Holdings PLC was recognised "LMD - Top 100 Most respected entities in Sri Lanka - 2024." Further, First Capital Holdings PLC and First Capital Treasuries PLC were ranked 20th and 21st respectively in the "Business Today TOP 40 for 2023/24."

  1. Basic earnings per share (EPS)
    Earnings per share has been calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.
  2. These Provisional Financial Statements for the quarter ended 30 September 2024 have been prepared in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standard (LKAS 34) "Interim Financial Reporting".
  3. Financial instruments- Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements in accordance with SLFRS 13.

Level - 1

Financial instruments that are measured in whole or in part by reference to published quotes in an active market. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.

Level - 2

Financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As market quotes generally are not readily available or accessible for these securities, their fair value measures are determined using relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable securities.

Level - 3

Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs. This category includes all instruments where the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument's valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments where significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.
