DIRECTORS' REPORT
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are pleased to present the half yearly report of Garton (Industries) Limited for the period ended December 31, 2025, along with the un-audited financial statements duly reviewed by the external auditors.
FINANCIAL REVIEW:
The financial synopsis for the period under review are as below:
Net sales Rs.13,529 million,
EBITDA Rs.1,005 million,
Operating profit Rs.98 million,
Loss before levies and income tax Rs.570 million,
The Company achieved an operating profit of Rs.98 million for the reporting period, however the loss before levies and income tax for the period ended December 31, 2025, amounted to Rs.570 million compared to Rs.1,339 million loss in the corresponding period last year.
Net revenue for the period is Rs.13,529 million, up 3% from Rs.13,124 million in the previous correspondence period.
As stated in previous reports, the Company had been facing significant challenges due to the dumping of imported yarn at exceptionally low prices in the local market. However, in June 2025, the National Tariif Commission (NTC) imposed final Anti-Dumping Duties (ADra) GFI Polyester Filament Yarn (PFY) from major Chinese exporters, ranging from 5.35% to 20.78 S with only 3 suppliers between 5.35% to 10%, while all other suppliers being above 13%. The focus of the Company now is effective enforcement and collection of duties or in case of stay orders the collection of bank guarantees. In July to September 2025, this was lacking at custom stage, however by end September there was proper enforcement of collection of bank guarantees/pay orders in case of stay orders. This was necessary to undo the dumping led price depression and to get the impact of Anti-Dumping Duty reflected in the market prices and to prevent large scale evasion of Anti-Dumping Duty which happened in the previous ADD period of 2017 to 2023. Over Rs 10 billion anti-dumping duties still remain evaded/not paid in the case of PFY for the period 2017 to 2023.
The persistent dumping and evasion of dumping duty besides above noted price suppres s:on have so far compelled the Company to operate at substantially diminished capacity utilization So besides the price margin recovery, the aim is also to increase operating rates without iar.d ng in a situation of increased inventory and the resulting inventory carrying cost. .'.II i .:›. price recovery and the gradual Increase in operating capacity will improve the bottom ii .r the Yarn segment. However, increased energy costs are affecting bottom line of the Ccmpa*y The imposition of off-grid captive levy on gas and petroleum levy on HFO has made producing power from these sources very expensive and also made investment of over Rs.3 billion *y the Compan,v not fully utilized. The Company is taking various steps to decrease its ener$y costs by investing in further renewable energy as well as grid stabil:'zing equipment !o util:ze the available grid power which is now costing lower than gas based capti 'e pcwer.
The misuse of duty-free imports under the Export Facilitation Scheme (EFS) for local saie> a*.d misdeclaration of DTY as FDY to take advantage of reduced duty in some instances alsc put pressure on market prices.

COST SAVING AND OTHER INITIATIVES:
Besides many cost saving initiatives which were completed at the start of this financial year, Management is actively pursuing several other cost-saving projects to improve profitability, including:
Expansion of existing solar and batteries to increase power capacities and to reduce energy costs.
Power grid stabilization equipment to reduce energy costs.
Evaluation of wind power capacities as well as other initiatives to reduce power cost.
Enhancing labor efficiency through time and motion studies.
Promoting diversified products in the market. EXPENSES AND FINANCING:
Distribution and selling expenses decreased by 39% compared to last correspondence period, whereas administrative expenses decreased by 5%. Finance costs also decreased by Rs.243 million. Efforts continue to reduce inventory and receivables.
On the balance sheet front, compared to June 30, 2025:
Stocks decreased by Rs.594 million to Rs.6,719 million, with further reduction expected in coming periods.
Debtors decreased by Rs.434 million to Rs.4,229 million,
Creditors increased by Rs.2,089 million to Rs.6,639 million.
Short-term borrowings were reduced by Rs.2,068 million to Rs.4,841 million.
CHALLENGES AND FLITURE OUTLOOK:
The NTC in June 2025 imposed final Anti-Dump'•9 DUties on PFY import from China with 3 suppliers at 5.35%, 6.79% and 9.67% while all other suppliers being above 13%. As noted above the focus of the Company now is effective enforcement and collection of duties or in case of stay orders the collection of bank guarantees which is a continuous effort. To put a perspective on the rate of 5.35% to 9.67% ADD on 3 suppliers in Pakistan, noted below are ADD imposed on Chinese exporters of Polyester Filament Yarn in other counti"ies:
by Turkey minimum of 20% or $268-$351 per ton
by India of minimum 23%
by the USA ranging from 76% to 77%
by Vietnam minimum one producer at 3.36% but all others above 10% (and max 21.2%)
by Brazil $57.85 - 585.70/ton (4.35% - 44%)
by Mexico $532/ton (40%)
So, 7 major countries including Korea have imposed Anti-Dumping or Countervailing Duties on PFY from China, while Indonesia is restricting imports of PFY by not allowing the same to traders and intends to increase import duties on the same. So, this covers mosi of the PFY producing countries. Bangladesh protects its PFY industry by way of 25% import duty on competing imported yarn.
From October 2023 to November 2025 India had imposed the non-tariff barrier removing the BIS (Bureau of Indian standard) exemption for imports of PFY into India. Because of which the import of PFY from China into India have reouced fram 50,000 tons per month (annua!ized 600,000 MT) to less than 10,000 tons per month (annualized 120,000 MT) at present. However, India allowed Chinese PFY to be imported under Export Bond Scheme for processing and export. So effectively it was not for quality/standards but to prevent the injury to the local PFY industry by the excess Chinese dumping.

On the back of effective implementation of Anti-Dumping Duty for 5 years on the levels on competing imported yarn would allow Pakistan PFY producers to fully utilize their capacity which can meet nearly 50% of the Pakistan's domestic use PFY demand and encourage these producers to further expand to meet over 75% of Pakistan in the next 3 years since polymer capacity for the same is already available. In fact, if we consider only DTY product variety of PFY the domestic producers can meet over 60% of the domestic demand if they are allowed to fully utilize their capacity through effective Anti-Dumping measures.
PFY is among the top imports, sc it needs to be produced locally, particularly when its raw material PTA is also produced locally. It should also be kept in mind that in the year 2003 over 90% of local demand of Filament Yarn was met by indigenous production, Moreover, the downstream industry and demand has also grown over the years and the total demand of PFY stood over 350,000 tons compared to 260,000 tons in year 2017-18 so increasing domestic production of the same is also essential to reduce this pressure on the current account deficit of the country.
With recovery in prices through collection of dumping duty on imports by pay order or Bank guarantee (in case of stay order) from October 2025 onwards as well as through energy and other cost reductions, the results of ensuing quarters is expected to be better. And the overall result of the ongoing financial year will Insha Allah be much better than the previous year.
OTHER MATTERS:
Our wholly owned subsidiaries, Gatro Power (Private) Limited and G-Pac Energy (Private) Limited, continue normal operations generating and selling electric power.
Global Synthetics Limited, another wholly owned subsidiary, has yet to commence operations.

To the Members of Gatron (Industries) Limited
Report on Review of Condensed Interim Un-consolidated financial statements
Introduction:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim un-consolidated statement of financial position of GATRON (INDUSTRIES) LIMITED ("the Company") as at December 31, 2025, and the related condensed interim un-consolidated statement of profit or loss, condensed interim un-consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed interim un-consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed interim un-consolidated statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements for the half year ended (here-in-after referred to as the "condensed interim un-consolidated financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed interim un-consolidated 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 un-consolidated
financial statements based on our review.Scope of Review:
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review engagements 2410, "Review of condensed Interim financial information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of condensed Interim un-consolidated 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 un-consolidated financial statements is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting.
Other Matter:Pursuant to the requirement of Section 237 (1) (b) of the Companies Act, 2017, only cumulative figures for the half year, presented in the second quarter accounts are subject to a limited scope review by the statutory auditors of the Company. Accordingly, the figures of the condensed interim un-consolidated statement of profit or loss and condensed interim un-consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the three
months ended December 31, 2025 have not been reviewed by us.The engagement partner of the review resulting in this independent auditor's report is Taswar Hussain.
