During the period under review, the Company's net turnover increased by Rs. 106.480 million, reflecting a 13% growth compared to the corresponding period of last year. This increase indicates a recovery in demand, supported by improvements in sales strategies and easing of certain market constraints. Despite the increase in turnover, the Company's gross profit margin improved moderately to 24.72% from 24.30% as compare to corresponding period of last year.

The Company earned a net profit after taxation of Rs. 86.942 million for as compared to Rs. 309.408 million in the corresponding period of the last year. Notably, the previous year's result included a substantial impairment loss reversal from an Associated Company, which significantly boosted the bottom line. Excluding that non-recurring adjustment, the underlying profit performance for 2025 remains stable and reflects operational resilience.

Earnings per share (EPS) for the nine-month period stood at Rs. 9.15, compared to Rs. 32.55 in the previous year. Th e year-on-year decline is largely attributable to the absence of the impairment-related reversal from the Associated Company that was recorded in 2024.

Finance cost decreased to Rs. 56.733 million from Rs. 68.927 million as compare to same period of corresponding year, reflecting a reduction in policy rates and improved cash flow management.

The Company achieved greasy production of 600,098 meters of fabric as compared to 818,709 meters of corresponding period of last year. This decline was due to a reduction in production shifts compared to the previous year.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Pakistan's economy remains under pressure despite some signs of short-term stability. Growth projections by the IMF (3.2%) and Asian Development Bank (ADB) (3.0%) for FY2025 are subject to significant risks and may not fully reflect on-ground challenges. Inflation also continues to be a concern, with estimates ranging from 3-4% (Ministry of Finance) to 9.5% (IMF) by year-end, though actual outcomes may vary due to economic volatility.

The government remains dependent on external financial support, including the IMF's $7 billion program and a $20 billion World Bank package over ten years. However, the benefits of these initiatives rely heavily on the implementation of long-term reforms.

Despite these initiatives, external financing risks persist. Fitch Ratings warns of significant external financing needs, with over $22 billion in external debt repayments due in 2025. Structural reforms, including fiscal consolidation and improving the business environment, are deemed necessary to manage these obligations effectively.

In response to these economic conditions, we remain committed to proactive measures aimed at ensuring the company's continued success. Our focus includes reducing operational costs and boosting sales volume to navigate the challenges and leverage emerging opportunities in the evolving economic landscape.

ACKNOWLGEMENT

We formally express our sincere appreciation for the dedication and hard work of our executives, officers, staff, and workers, whose contributions have been instrumental in achieving the Company's strong performance. We also recognize the valuable contributions and active involvement of the Board Committee members in guiding and supporting management on key strategic matters. Additionally, the Board extends its gratitude to our banking partners, customers, and suppliers for their unwavering support and commitment to the Company.
