01 QUARTERLY REPORT 2025
REPORT OF BOARD OF DIRECTORSThe Directors of your Company are pleased to present the financial report for the half-year ended 31 March 2025, together with the condensed interim financial information of the Company for the period ended 31 March 2025, as reviewed by the external auditors.
Composition of Board
The composition of the Board is as follows:
Male 5
Female 2
Out of the above:
Executive Directors: 2
Non-Executive Directors: 2
Independent Directors: 3
Business Overview
Archroma's major consumption Markets i.e. Textiles' and Construction Industry began to show positive development, both locally as well as for exports, during the second quarter of the current Financial Year under review, inspite of higher energy & commodity prices and on-going Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts.
In the light of the current challenging business environment, your Company continued its fullest support to it's customers in meeting their demands and cost targets, and as a consequence managed to achieve net sales of PKR 14,638 million during the half-year ended 31 March 2025, compared to PKR 14,282 million in the same period last year. Positive contributions from various savings and efficiency improvement programs launched at the end of last year along with market driven changes to the sales product mix further supported gross margins development, which improved to PKR 3,368 million compared to 2,679 million for the same period last year.
Moreover, considerably stable foreign exchange rates and reduced bank borrowing rates and costs further contributed to improving the bottom-line profitability of your Company to PKR 634 million as compared to loss of PKR 125 million in the same period last year.
Future Outlook
The global trade environment has become increasingly complex following the imposition of country-specific import tariffs by USA in April, which although are on 90 days pause (except for China) have severely affected trade, logistics and consequentially the Raw Materials' supply chain and availability situation. Although the balance of trade and forex reserves' situation in Pakistan has improved lately but is expected to remain under pressure in coming months due to evolving global trade environment, which may create more challenges for businesses in the coming months. However, we believe that the recent US tariff changes provide greater opportunity for Pakistan's Textiles and other export businesses, in the medium to longer-term, in comparison to other competing Countries.
The Management of your Company is confident that the stringent measures already in place to efficiently manage costs and net working capital, along with a strong projects' pipeline aimed at increasing market penetration and portfolio expansion, particularly following the Huntsman Textile Effects' acquisition, will further support new business development of the Company during the current financial year.

Independent Auditor's Review Report To the members of Archroma Pakistan Limited
Report on Review of Interim Financial Statements
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim statement of financial position of Archroma Pakistan Limited as at 31 March 2025 and the related condensed interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed interim statement of changes in equity, condensed interim statement of cash flows, and notes to the interim financial statements for the six-month period then ended (here-in-after referred to as the "condensed interim financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed interim financial statements in accordance with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed interim financial statements based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of condensed interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended 31 March 2025 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for condensed interim financial reporting.
Other matter
The figures of the condensed interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the three months period ended 31 December 2024, have not been reviewed and we do not express a conclusion thereon.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in preparation of the published annual audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2024.
A number of new accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2025 and earlier application is permitted.
The Company has not early adopted any of the forthcoming new or amended accounting standards in preparing these condensed interim financial statements.
Restatement - change in accounting policy
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) vide circular 07/2024 dated 15 May 2024 issued the application guidance on accounting for minimum taxes and final taxes. As per the guidance, minimum and final taxes paid should be classified as 'levies' and not income tax in the statement of profit or loss. Since, the impact of the said changes is material, as per the abovesaid guide and IAS 8 'Accounting Policies', changes in accounting estimates and others', the changes have been applied retrospectively.
Accordingly, the Company has restated its comparative information by reclassifying levies amounting to Rs. 167 million from taxation to minimum and final taxes in the statement of profit or loss. This requirement was initially applied in the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2024. The effects of restatements are as follows:
The following table summarises the impact of restatement on the Company's statement of profit or loss:

Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The significant judgements made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the annual audited financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024.
