The pharmaceuticals giant made a profit of Tk 1,420.98 crore during the identical nine-month period a year earlier.

The consolidated net operating cash flow per share slipped to Tk 10.95 in July-March from Tk 13.87 a year ago.
The NOCFPS decreased due to the ongoing complexity in the procurement of raw materials and protracted lead time, said the company in a filing on the Dhaka Stock Exchange today.
The Group has paid its regular suppliers in advance to ensure that the supply chain does not face any disruption, it said.
