    The financial expense for LEC amounted to Rs. 14.17 crores, which the company attributed to various force majeure events occurring during the construction period. These events have adversely affected the company’s profitability.

    LEC maintains a paid-up capital of Rs. 1.50 Arba. However, the company’s financial performance is reflected in its negative earnings per share (EPS) ratio of -5.33 and a below-average net worth per share of Rs. 83.03.

    At the end of the third quarter of FY 2079/2080, the closing price of LEC’s shares stood at Rs. 270.

As per the implementation of Nepal Financial Reporting Standards (NFRS), all overhead costs not directly attributable to the project or its construction have been transferred to the profit or loss account, resulting in a negative EPS. The commercial operation of the project began in Mangsir, 2079.

    LEC has also completed the feasibility study and Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) for other projects, namely the Badigad Khola Hydropower Project (24.6 MW) in Baglung and the Lodo Hydropower Project (1.6 MW) in Lamjung. The company has applied for the generation license at the Department of Electricity Development (DOED) for these projects.
