    Directors' Report

    The Directors of your Company are pleased to present their report for the first quarter ended 31st December 2025, together with the un-audited condensed interim financial information of the Company.

Business Overview

Textiles' and Construction industry demand & consumer sales continued to show positive development both for local as well as exports during the first quarter of the current financial year under review, which is despite higher energy, fluctuating commodity prices, on-going Russia-Ukraine & other regional conflicts and highly complex trade and supply chain environment on the back of cost related challenges coming from Tariffs imposed by USA.

In the light of the this continuously evolving business environment & increasing cost pressures, your Company further improved its support in meeting customers' expectations and provided them with cost-effective production systems & solutions to help them gain new business. Archroma, as a consequence, managed to achieve net sales of PKR 7,842 million during the first quarter ended 31 December 2025 versus PKR 7,217 million in comparison to the same period last year. Positive contributions coming from better raw materials' sourcing, effective cost savings initiatives, improved product mix & plant capacity utilization further supported Gross Margins, which went up to PKR 2,029 million versus 1,640 million for the Company in comparison to the same period last year.

Moreover, considerably stable foreign exchange rates and reduced borrowing costs further contributed to improving the bottom-line profitability of your Company to PKR 442 million versus PKR 356 million in comparison to the same period last year.

Future Outlook

The global energy and commodities' prices, raw materials' supply chain and availability situation is foreseen to remain complex due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and evolving Europe and Middle East situation. Consequently, balance of trade and forex reserves' situation in Pakistan is anticipated to remain under pressure and may continue to create new challenges for the businesses in the coming months. However, the long-term financing arrangements with the World bank, debt rescheduling & equity conversion programs currently under discussions with certain lending agencies and regional countries along with on-going stricter implementation of corrective fiscal measures' is expected to positively contribute towards improvement in the overall macro-economic situation for Pakistan, which in turn is also anticipated to support business development for Textiles and Construction Industries of the Country.

      The Company's income tax return for Tax Year 2020 was selected for audit under Section 214D (now Section 214C) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Following completion of audit proceedings, the Assistant Commissioner Inland Revenue (ACIR) passed an amended assessment order under Section 122(5A), raising a demand of Rs. 218 million due to various additions and disallowances. The Company filed an appeal before the Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) [CIR(A)], who granted partial relief by deleting certain disallowances while

      Inland Revenue (ATIR

      CIR(A), which is currently pending adjudication. Subsequently, the ACIR passed the appeal effect order, wherein most of the issues were deleted while a few additions were confirmed, and the matter relating to allocation of expenses was remanded back; however, the ACIR repeated the earlier addition. Moreover, the ACIR did not comply with the CIR(A)'s directions regarding the federal levy of Workers Welfare Fund (WWF) and erroneously added the same to the total tax liability, which constitutes a mistake apparent from the record. The Company has filed a rectification application in this regard, and following the appeal effect order, a revised tax demand of Rs. 80 million has been raised, against which an appeal has been filed before the ATIR, currently pending adjudication.
