Eveready East Africa reported earnings results for the year ended September 30, 2013. For the period, the company reported 54.33% slump in profit after tax to KES 45.4 million from KES 70.1 million in the same period in 2012. The decline in profitability was largely driven by KES 41.96 million the firm accrued in its business finance costs compared to the previous year's KES 817,000.

Earnings from sales were almost flat at KES 1.43 billion, a marginal growth of 3.89% over KES 1.37 billion in September 2012. Earnings per share over the review period also plunged to 22 cents a share from 33 cents a year earlier.
