I stand to be "collected" but i believe its to do with Bonus of 1:8 declared back in October 2011, this means more shares were used to calculate EPS.

The installation of prepaid meters should was supposed to increase the profitability. Or mayb cost of buying the meters reduced profitability i guess.

Kplc increased the no. Of issued shares at the end of last fy. Which was very puzzling.

Don't forget KP is sirikal!. Who audits Kenya Power?

However, the lower dividend was also a result of a higher number of shares that resulted from a bonus share issue given in the course of last year.

Shareholders got one new share for every eight shares held as at June 2011. This resulted in the creation of about 217 million shares bonus shares.

It is unwise for companies to issue bonus shares that will result in a lower nominal EPS and DPS in following years..

Just take a look at JUB and NIC.. They issue 1:10 bonus shares every year and then ensure profit growth exceeds 10% so as not not announce a lower EPS..

JUB always increases the DPS while NIC leaves it constant making sure shareholders get more..

If one bought 100 shares of NIC In 2009 a 50cents DPS would have gotten him 50bob plus 10 bonus shares (1:10bonus)

In 2010 the same investor would have 110shares so the 50cents DPS now gives 55bob and 11 bonus shares (1:10bonus)

in 2011 the same investor would have 121 shares so the 50cents dividend now gives 60.5 bob and 12 bonus shares (1:10 bonus)


and so on...

The performance is satisfactory but the management's dividend policy is ill informed..

And from the looks of the banks and industrials that have reported thus far it looks like 2011 was a bumper harvest year..

Don't rush to make conclusions like that apart from BAT (exporter+weak KES) which other industrial reported good numbers? both Bamburi and EABL reported tepid results...on banks CBR was hiked in which month? look at forex income component of this results...Did u look at the NIC bank numbers? becareful what you call good it might be bad after all and don't compare banks to industrials theyre two different industries.

The CBR was hiked in August and yet the banks were still making profit all through.. NPLs even went down during this period.. What was wrong with NIC¿¿ Ive looked through the results and they're awesome and I think Mr market is agreeing with me.. A rights issue to finance expansion was an awesome idea..

I wasnt comparing anyone..
These are two major components of the kenyan economy that have ALL announced double digit growth in Earnings so far.. I was just pointing that out...

@the deal why are you dying to be right.¿¿ the rights issue is to finance expansion into Uganda not to shore up core capital like you had said..

The amount of money given out as dividend is lower compared to last year inspite of the growth in profits.
If you calculate the DPS by the issued shares as of last year and calculate the issued shares after the 1:8 bonus issue by the DPS you will realise that
