INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
GOC (Pak) Limited was incorporated in Pakistan on June 02,1964 to incarnate a strong yearn of Late Anwar Khawaja, the first Managing Director of the Company, of making the WORLD'S BEST hockey stick in collaboration with Messrs H.J. Gray & Sons of Cambridge, England [presently named as "Grays of Cambridge (International) Limited" under an agreement made and signed in1963.
The formal inauguration of this Pak-British joint enterprise was held on May 08, 1965 although the unit commenced its commercial production on April 01,1965 under the elite supervision of an English technician, Mr. D. Fosket who had actually made hockey sticks with his own hands for more than half a century. This great expert gave training to Pakistani workers and carved them into a team of adroit and enchanting craftsmen by inculcating them with all his expertise, elegance and excellence.
During 1983, while the Company continued progressively conventional hockey sticks (around 90,000 sticks a year), the management acquired technical know-how from Mr. Toon Coolen of Netherlands and started making a Novelty Stick with a U-Shaped head approved by the Rules Committee of the International Hockey Federation. By virtue of this blending mechanization with the skills of the local craftsmen, the hockey sticks produced by this unit have met with a global acceptance as the best ever-made and the venture proved to be an International success. The fact that the first mark of 17,590 hockey sticks produced and exported during 1965 has culminated to its present volume of more than hundred sixty thousand sticks a year has evidently placed GOC fairly and squarely on the World Hockey Map.
Equally important was the year 1973, which also witnessed expansion in Company's Product Line. A Cricket Ball manufacturing unit was established to produce balls with the World's most famous brand names "DUKE & SONS" and "GRAY-NICOLLS". This unit has also shown a tremendous growth as evidenced by rising production of completely hand-sewn cricket balls from a few thousand in its first year of inception to around hundred thousand a year at present. These balls are being used in first class as well as the Test Cricket in Pakistan and abroad.
The Company has a global net work of marketing agents as well as a full fledged quality control wing consisting of on job trained supervisors headed by a professional, all working under a regular control of the Company's Chief Executive / Technical Director Mr. Khawar Anwar Khawaja who did his B.E. from the University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore.
CORPORATE PROFILE
The Company which was incorporated as a private limited went public in April 1986 and was listed on Pakistan Stock Exchange in January 1987. The issue was very well received by public and was over-subscribed by 200 times, a record response by public. Since then, the share of the Company has a very strong demand which is well supported by the fact that its 10 rupees shares has touched a 450 rupees price and is being quoted at rupees 136.07 at present.
At the same time, a plan for diversification in financial and economic activities is also underway, and as a result thereof, the Company co-sponsored a leasing company named GRAYS LEASING LIMITED, listed on Pakistan Stock Exchange with an equity capital of 100 million Rupees which was also over subscribed even under the prevailing crunch in the investment market.
The financial performance of the Company is also revealed by a simple statistic that the shareholders' equity was 225 thousand rupees in 1965 and 677 million rupees in 2025.

The Company has been declared as one of the Top 25 Companies by the Pakistan Stock Exchange for eight consecutive years from 1989 to 1996. For the years 1997 and 1998, company was not ranked among Top 25 Companies just for lack of some membership criteria. For 1999 to 2002 it has again been ranked among the Top 25 Companies.
GOC under the Chairmanship of Mr. Khurram Anwar Khawaja and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Khawar Anwar Khawaja, has pledged itself to very strong commitment to realism and honesty with its principals which legislates for the benefits of the public and not least of the sports and sportsmen.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
The Directors have the pleasure to present you the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2025 of the GOC (Pak) Limited along with the audited financial statements and the Auditors' Report thereon. The statement of compliance with best practices of Code of Corporate Governance and the Auditors' Report thereon are also given for your perusal.
NATIONAL ECONOMY
Pakistan's economy showed some recovery during the year ended 30 June 2025, with GDP growing by 2.7%, supported by a noticeable reduction in inflation, record remittance inflows, and the monetary policy rate reducing to 11%. Despite this macroeconomic improvement, the industry remained under pressure due to reduced demand and increase in taxes and duties, resulting in reduced dispatches and lower capacity utilization. As the economy is projected to grow, albeit at a slow pace, a gradual recovery is expected during the next financial year.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Revenue for the year is Rs. 472,315,817 compared to Rs. 578,667,000 showing 18.38% decrease over the same period of last year. Exports of wooden hockey sticks and composite hockey sticks have shown declining trend during the year.
We kept on putting efforts for increasing our share in the composite sticks market and we kept our focus on research and development which resulted in very good feedback from the customers and international players. The Company overheads remained under control due to management strategies despite of inflationary trend in the cost of inputs.
In order to increase our market share in an increasingly competitive environment, the Company has continued to invest in its brands and their distribution. We believe that in the coming years, the Company will need to increase investment in distribution and promotion to withstand challenges surrounding the business environment.
The Company has continued to focus on reassessing the changing needs of the markets and investing in product quality and innovation.
Keeping in view the present market situation your Directors express their satisfaction over the progress and show determination for gaining the position of one of the top supplier of sports goods.
The financial results in a summarized form are given hereunder: | ||
Rupees 2025 | Rupees 2024 | |
Profit before levy and taxation | 37,600,056 | 110,942,106 |
Profit after taxation | 25,831,843 | 98,849,898 |
Earnings per share | 3.51 | 13.45 |
RISK MITIGATION | ||
The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the Board regularly review the risk matrix in terms of impact and probability of occurrence. The senior management team, led by the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director is responsible for risk mitigation measures.
