CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW

INTRODUCTION

Key Indicator FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025

I am pleased to present the Chairman's Review for FY2024-25. Since the sponsors' direct involvement in late 2022-bringing new leadership and capital-we have executed a disciplined turnaround that stabilised operations and set a platform for growth.

Net sales were PKR 2,662.7 million (slightly higher year-on-year), with gross profit of PKR 770.2 million and a 28.9% margin. Operating profit was PKR 180.3 million and net profit PKR 1.7 million. Excluding the PKR 357 million exceptional land gain recorded in FY2025, underlying operating performance improved year-on-year.

THREE-YEAR TRAJECTORY

In three years we have moved from heavy losses to sustained profitability and rebuilt the balance sheet: gross margin has risen from 7.8% in FY2022 to ~29% in FY2025, while equity has recovered from PKR 144 million (FY2024) to ~PKR 581 million at 30 June 2025. We have also delivered two consecutive years of positive operating profit, reflecting firm pricing, tight cost control and a focus on profitable mix.

STRATEGY AND GOVERNANCE

The Board's strategy remains clear: stabilise performance, invest selectively, and compound profitable growth. To accelerate execution, we engaged Farhan Bedar Malik as Executive Advisor under an interim-management mandate, combining an external perspective with executive authority to install robust, international-standard controls and drive day-to-day delivery. We are grateful for Farhan's contribution. We were also pleased to welcome CCL Holding (Pvt.) Ltd. as a strategic shareholder, bringing additional capital and sector expertise.

PRIORITIES FOR FY2025-26

  • Modernise manufacturing to increase capacity and reduce unit costs.

  • Scale high-margin export and B2B channels, including pulping and ethnic foods.

  • Relaunch confectionery and chocolate to capture shifting consumer demand.

APPRECIATION

On behalf of the Board, I thank our shareholders for their confidence, our employees for their dedication, and our customers and partners for their continued loyalty.

DIRECTORS' REPORT


The Directors present their report together with the audited financial statements of Mitchell's Fruit Farms Limited

(the "Company") for the year ended 30 June 2025, and the auditors' report thereon.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The Company is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of various grocery and confectionery products.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW

Overview. In a challenging operating environment characterised by inflationary pressure and rising costs, the year delivered slight top-line growth offset by margin pressure. Net sales increased 0.8% to PKR 2,662.7 million (FY24: PKR 2,642.2 million), supported by export growth and a more favourable mix.

Margins and costs. Gross profit was PKR 770.2 million (FY24: PKR 789.2 million), with a gross margin of 28.9% (FY24: 29.9%). The decline principally reflects higher salaries and wages and modest increases in raw and packaging input costs that could not be fully passed through. Distribution and selling expenses rose 12.4%, driven by a channel mix shift toward modern trade, which carries higher servicing costs. Administrative expenses increased 16.3% year-on-year. As a result, operating profit declined 33.4% to PKR 180.3 million (FY24: PKR 270.5 million).

Other income and bottom line. Profit after tax was PKR 1.67 million (FY24: PKR 456.0 million). The prior year included PKR 357.0 million of one-off other income from a land sale. Excluding this exceptional item, underlying operating profit in FY24 was PKR 99.0 million. Adjusted EPS (ex-land gain) can be presented alongside the audited financial statements.

Liquidity and capital resources. During the year, the Company secured a PKR 200 million short-term running finance facility from National Bank of Pakistan, ensuring adequate working-capital liquidity. ). Finance costs were lower on average due to prudent treasury management and lower average utilisation.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Key risks monitored by the Board include:

  • Weather-related disruption and flood risk, and consequent impact on infrastructure and agricultural supply.

  • Persistent inflation and pressure on consumer purchasing power.

  • High competitive intensity in core categories, limiting unilateral price increases.

  • Commodity and foreign-exchange volatility, particularly where inputs are imported.

The Board regularly reviews risk registers, mitigation plans, and sensitivity analyses.

MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS

We continued to improve efficiency despite operating below operating capacity. Cost and process improvements in production, administration, and distribution reduced waste and improved yields. Looking ahead, selective
