REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

First Capital Treasuries PLC (the Company) recorded a Profit after Tax of Rs. 1.9Bn for the nine months ended 31 December 2022 compared to Loss after Tax of Rs. 361Mn in the corresponding period of the previous year.

The Results include net interest income of Rs. 2,152Mn and a trading gain on sale of government securities amounting to Rs. 572Mn (2021/22 - Net interest income of Rs. 357Mn and a trading loss of Rs. 809Mn were included).

As of 31 December 2022, the Company's Held to Maturity portfolio (Government Securities) reflected a fair valuation loss of Rs. 1.15Bn which is not accounted for in the provisional financial statements since the amortised cost basis has been adopted in valuing the said investment as per the accounting standard on financial instruments (SLFRS 9).

We are operating in a challenging business environment due to the prevailing economic conditions. The impact of a potential local debt restructuring is also a continuing concern.

The Company's investment in Government Securities portfolio (total) as of 31 December 2022 stood at Rs. 53.2Bn compared to Rs. 27.6Bn at the commencement of the financial year.

The Company was awarded a rating of "A" with stable outlook by Lanka Rating Agency (LRA) in December 2022.

The tragic demise of Dinesh Schaffter who served as the Managing Director of the Company since 2014 prompted appointments to further strengthen the Board of Directors/Senior Management, including the appointment of Manjula Mathews as the Deputy Chairperson, and myself as Managing Director (subject to the regulatory clearance).

Dinesh's vision and contribution towards the success of First Capital Group as well as the capital markets industry of Sri Lankan are deeply appreciated and we continue to move forward with our "Performance First" mindset to honour his legacy.
