Directors' Review

For the third quarter ended 30 September 2025

The Directors are pleased to present their review report for the third quarter ended 30 September 2025 together with the unaudited condensed interim financial information of the Company as at and for the third quarter ended 30 September 2025.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Crude Oil (WTI) prices trended lower throughout Q3 2025, weighed down by oversupply and persistent weakness in global demand. Market sentiment remained cautious as OPEC+ steadily eased production cuts thereby resulting in a gradual increment in supply. In the early part of the quarter, Crude Oil prices found intermittent strength against the sporadic geopolitical risks arising in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Reinforced sanctions on Russia and Iran, together with ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure, maintained a moderate risk premium, keeping markets alert to potential disruptions. However, towards the end of the quarter, oversupply concerns and weak macroeconomic indicators across major economies in the Northern Hemisphere continued to exert downward pressure on prices. Despite a cut in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve, Crude Oil markets showed a limited response as concerns over a supply glut and sluggish global demand continued to dominate price movements. The average price for the quarter stood at US$

65.03 per barrel, marking a 2.2% increase compared to the previous quarter.

Paraxylene (PX) prices broadly tracked movements in the upstream energy markets during Q3 2025, while a weak sentiment prevailed in the market. The quarter opened on a bearish note, as persistently narrow PX-PTA margins limited any upside in PX prices which thereby added pressure on PX-Naphtha margins as well. Brief support was observed on the back of tight prompt supply as several PX units in China underwent routine planned turnarounds, temporarily balancing the markets. As the quarter progressed, PX prices remained subdued as downstream PTA demand entered the traditional lull period. Healthy gasoline blending margins also diverted reformate away from PX production which limited availability in the market, though this was not enough to offset weak fundamentals. The average price of PX was US$ 840.35 per metric tonne for the quarter while the PX-Naphtha spread averaged at US$ 252 per metric tonne for the quarter.

In Q3 2025, PTA prices remained soft, moving in parallel along the downward trend as observed in the upstream energy and feedstock (PX) markets. The market carried forward oversupply pressures from the previous quarter, as trade tensions weighed on consumer purchasing power and curtailed demand for finished goods which resulted in producers opting to rationalize operations. Although several PTA units in China remained offline due to planned and unplanned turnarounds, the impact on supply was negligible as significant capacity additions in the recent years had outpaced demand. A delay in implementation of reciprocal tariffs by the United States provided brief support however, the gains were short-lived as the seasonal lull in the Textile and PET sectors offset the optimism. Moreover, the start-up of a large new PTA unit added 2.5 million tonnes of fresh capacity in the market, further reinforced the bearish sentiment which resulted in persistent uneconomical PX-PTA regional margins which averaged at US$ 68 per metric tonne as compared to US$ 84 per metric tonne for the previous quarter. PTA prices averaged at US$ 622.90 per metric tonne, reflecting a 1.2% increase compared to the previous quarter.

The Domestic Polyester Industry operated at an average utilization rate of 65% during Q3 2025. Operations showed some improvement compared to the previous quarter, supported by improved macroeconomic stability post release of Finance Bill 2025 as well as consistent demand observed during the ongoing peak season for the Textile and PET sectors. However, the industry did face the impact of severe floods in the country due to which operations were temporarily impacted. Regardless, demand has remained constrained due to the continued impact of inflation, higher energy costs as well as the continued ingress of cheaper imports in the domestic market.

OPERATIONS

Sales volume, comprising of domestic sales only, for Q3 2025 at 94,672 tonnes was 9% lower than the corresponding quarter last year due to lower product availability.







04

Directors' Review

For the third quarter ended 30 September 2025

Production volume during the quarter at 79,894 tonnes was 33% lower than the corresponding period last year due to a plant outage in August on account of an accidental failure of critical equipment.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Revenue for the quarter was 17% lower than the corresponding period last year due to lower volume sold and lower PTA price. This, together with higher cost of sales mainly on account of increase in energy cost, resulted in a lower gross profit of Rs 570 million for the quarter as compared to gross profit of Rs 1,045 million during the same period last year.

Distribution and selling expenses for the quarter were 26% lower than the corresponding period last year due to export sales in Q3 2024 on which handling charges were borne by the Company. Administrative and general expenses for the quarter were 2% higher than the corresponding period last year due to overall impact of inflation. The taxation charge for the quarter is based on statutory income tax rate and super tax as adjusted by the movement in the deferred tax account.

Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter stood at Rs 0.06 per share as compared to Rs 0.33 per share for Q3 2024.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Crude Oil (WTI) prices are expected to remain under pressure in the near term, weighed down by the gradual rollback of OPEC+ production cuts. Weak global macroeconomic indicators are likely to further dampen demand, while renewed focus weakening international trade environment may keep prices on the defensive. Conversely, ongoing geopolitical developments in Europe and the Middle East may provide episodic support.

Paraxylene (PX) prices are expected to move in tandem with the upstream energy markets while the seasonal slowdown may fail to impact prices due to the absence of underlying supply/demand fundamentals. While the bearish sentiment is likely to weigh on PX markets, stable PTA production in China may offer some degree of price support to the industry already struggling to maintain profitable margins. PTA prices are anticipated to move largely in line with upstream PX market, regardless of support expected against steady demand in China. The commissioning of new PTA capacities, equivalent to around 6.2 million metric tonnes, is set to expand supply significantly which may depress regional margins further. In contrast, holiday season demand may provide upside, though not enough to offset the broader supply overhang.

The Domestic Polyester Industry is expected to continue facing headwinds with overall business activity likely to remain soft due to persistent high cost of doing business, inflationary pressures and reduced purchasing power. Demand from downstream textiles may see modest support from export orders in value-added segments which may remain favorable on account of low reciprocal tariffs from the United States. The overall impact of domestic floods is yet to be ascertained which may eventually have a ripple effect on the domestic businesses going forward.
