DIRECTORS' REVIEW

The Directors of Nestlé Pakistan Limited (the "Company") are pleased to submit the half-year report, along with the condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024.

Business Performance Review:

Sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, stand at PKR 107.7 billion, reflecting a growth of 6.2% compared to the same period of last year. The increase in revenue was driven by broad-based growth across our brands and further complemented by demand-generating activities and a favorable portfolio mix. Due to headwinds in commodity and energy prices, gross profit as a percentage of sales has declined while an increased investment behind brands has further impacted operating profit.

The financial performance for the six-months period is summarized below:

Future Outlook:

As part of the recent Finance Bill, several taxes have been announced that impact our operations. We are currently evaluating the impact on our business performance and future growth. Additionally, we anticipate that high commodity and input costs will persist for the remainder of the year. In light of these factors, the Company maintains a cautious outlook and will take necessary measures to manage this challenging environment.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF NESTLE PAKISTAN LIMITED

REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim statement of financial position of Nestle Pakistan Limited as at 30 June 2024 and the related condensed interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed interim statement of changes in equity, condensed interim statement of cash flows, and notes to the condensed interim financial statements for the six-month period then ended (here-in-after referred to as the "condensed interim financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed interim 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 financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim 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 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 Matters

The figures of the condensed interim statement of profit or loss and condensed interim statement of comprehensive income for the three-month period ended 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023 have not been reviewed, as we are required to review only the cumulative figures for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Arslan Khalid.
