Total net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, stand at Rs. 7,689 million, which grew by 2% compared to the same period last year. This growth was mainly driven by business growth in brands operating in Antibiotics and Diabetes categories.

The gross margin increased to 39% from 35% when compared to the same period last year. Distribution and marketing expenses increased to 16% of net sales from 15% in same period last year mainly on account of travelling and promotional activities aligned with the business requirements. Administrative expenses stood at 4% of net sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which is similar to same period last year.

Consequently, resulted in profit after tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, amounting to Rs. 721 million as compared to Rs. 554 million during the corresponding period of the year 2025.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to strengthening our core competencies while closely reassessing strategies in response to evolving market conditions and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. These factors, coupled with inflationary pressures and broader macroeconomic challenges, present risks including supply chain disruptions, energy price volatility, and increased cost pressures.

The Company is proactively managing these challenges through prudent planning, operational flexibility, disciplined cost controls, and focused leadership. We remain confident in our ability to navigate these headwinds while delivering quality products and safeguarding long-term shareholder value through sustainable profitability.

The Board of Directors would like to acknowledge the efforts and commitment of the employees.

By order of the Board

Syed Babar Ali Chairman

Sajjad Iftikhar Yasser Pirmuhammad

Chief Executive Officer Chief Financial Officer

Hoechst Pakistan Limited

Notes to the Unconsolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (Un-audited)

  1. THE COMPANY AND ITS OPERATIONS

    1. Hoechst Pakistan Limited (the Company) was incorporated in Pakistan in 1967 as a Public Limited Company under Companies Act, 1913 [now Companies Act, 2017 (the Act)]. The shares of the Company are listed on Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited (PSX). The Company is engaged in the manufacturing, selling and trading of pharmaceutical and related products. The registered office of the Company is located at Plot 23, Sector 22, Korangi Industrial Area, Karachi. The Company is a subsidiary of Packages Limited (Parent Company), whose registered office is located at 4th floor, the Forum, Suite No. 416 - 422, G20, Block 9, Khayaban-e-Jami, Clifton, Karachi.

    2. The Board of Directors (the Board) of the Company in its meeting held on April 24, 2024 approved formation of a wholly owned local subsidiary, which will be engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing wellness and nutraceutical products subject to applicable regulatory approvals. Accordingly, H-Pack Wellness (Private) Limited (HPWL) was incorporated on May 27, 2024. The registered address of HPWL is located at Plot 23, Sector 22, Korangi Industrial Area, Karachi.

    3. Further, the Board in its meeting held on December 19, 2024 has accorded its approval for incorporation of a wholly owned foreign subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), subject to all applicable regulatory approvals which will be primarily engaged in commercial trading with import, export, distribution and warehousing as its ancillary activities. Accordingly, the Company incorporated Hoechst Pack Trading FZCO (HPTF) on November 26, 2025. The registered address of HPTF is 6WB 541, Building 6 West B, Fifth Floor, Dubai Airport Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. During the period, investment amounting to Rs. 68.9 million has been made by the Company in HPTF.

  2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

    1. These unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting. The accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting comprise of:

      - International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the Act; and

      - Provisions of and directives issued under the Act.

      Where the provisions of and directives issued under the Act differ with the requirements of IAS 34, the provisions of and directives issued under the Act have been followed.

    2. These unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Unconsolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025.

    3. These unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements are the separate financial statements of the Company in which investment in subsidiary has been accounted for at cost less impairment losses, if any. The consolidated condensed interim financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary company have been presented seperately.

  3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CHANGES THEREIN

    1. The material accounting policies and the methods of computation adopted in the preparation of these unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements are same as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the adoption of new accounting policy as follows:

      1. Group Taxation

        The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan ('SECP') vide its certificate dated February 23, 2026, has registered the Company and HPWL (together the 'Group') as a Group for the purpose of group taxation under Section 59AA of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Consequently, the Group is being taxed as one fiscal unit from the tax year 2026 and onwards. Current tax is based on the consolidated results of the Group and allocated within the Group on the basis of separate return method. Deferred tax asset is recognised in the unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements to the extent future economic benefit will flow to the Company. Realizability of tax credits and tax losses are assessed at Group level and taxable profits of all entities in the Group are taken into account in assessing whether a deferred tax asset should be recognised in consolidated condensed interim financial statements. Any adjustments in the taxation of the Company on account of group taxation are credited or charged to the unconsolidated condensed interim statement of profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

    2. There are certain amendments or improvements to accounting and reporting standards which became effective during the current period. However, these are considered not to have a material impact on the Company's financial reporting and, therefore, have not been disclosed in these unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements.

    3. There are certain standards and amendments or improvements to accounting and reporting standards that are not yet effective and are considered either not to be relevant or to have a significant impact on the Company's financial reporting and, therefore, have not been disclosed in these unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements, other than those disclosed in the note 2.2 of the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025.

    4. The preparation of these unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements, in conformity with approved accounting and reporting standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the estimates. During the preparation of these unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and assumptions are consistent with those that were applied to the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025.

    5. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss.

The carrying values of all financial assets and liabilities reflected in the unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements approximate their fair values.

    Fair value hierarchy

    Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

    Level 2:

    Level 3:

    Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

    Input for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).

There are certain standards and amendments or improvements to accounting and reporting standards that are not yet effective and are considered either not to be relevant or to have a significant impact on the Company's financial reporting and, therefore, have not been disclosed in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, other than those disclosed in the note 2.2 of the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025.

    4. The preparation of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, in conformity with approved accounting and reporting standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the estimates. During the preparation of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and assumptions are consistent with those that were applied to the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025.

    5. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss.
