Kenya Power posted on Friday a 36 percent jump in full-year pretax profits to 8.51 billion shillings ($99.94 million) in 2012 and said earnings per share climbed to 2.36 shillings from 2.16 a year earlier.

The company, the sole power distributor in east Africa's biggest economy, said revenue from electricity sales rose 6 percent to 45 billion shillings in the period ending June 30.


wao good news leo ni furahi day

Reuters indicates a dividend 0.5. No mention of bonus .

I wrote this on my FB Page On Tuesday its exactly what Kenya Power has delivered "Kenya Power (KPLL:KN) touched a 52 week high of Ksh19 before closing at Ksh18.95 up 1.88% ahead of its Full Year earnings expected this week. I expect revenues at the power distributor to rise by a single digit (5% y/y) to stand at Ksh44.6bn driven by increased electricity sales, revenues will be negated by power losses which i estimate to be around 26% in FY 2012 consequently I expect FY 2012 earnings to rise by 8.8% y/y to stand at Ksh4.6bn that's if their able to maintain net profit margins at 10.3%. On the downside I expect high depreciation and finance costs to weigh negatively on the power distributor"

Good results,but a very mean company,last years div. Was .45cts and a bonus this year .50cts without a bonus and already they paid an interim div. Of .20cts so expect a mere .30cts

is that what it means. that would disappoint.
