Not super but not bad either. The PAT was up 19% [I was looking for 30%] so not spectacular.
- Revenue: Up on sales of MORE units. 2H sales should be similar as new projects come online [while hydropower production drops]
- Depreciation expense is up [not sure how much] but it is not a cash issue. Helps reduce taxes.
- KShs 7bn used in investments. This is good news. It means KPLC is increasing its facilities, infrastructure, etc
I expect a better 2H since the KES 10bn will earn (some) interest while it gets deployed. If it rains [April-June] heavily then it means enough hydropower for KPLC.
