DIRECTORS' REVIEW

The Directors of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) are pleased to present to the shareholders the financial statements of the Company for the half year ended 30 June 2025. The financial statements of the Company have been reviewed by the statutory auditors.

In the first half of 2025, the PTCL Group has maintained its strong momentum, solidifying its position as Pakistan's leading integrated telecom service provider. The Group posted a remarkable 16% year-on-year revenue growth, driven primarily by outstanding performance across key segments such as fixed broadband, mobile data, business solutions and microfinance.

PTCL Group reported revenue of Rs 124.6 billion, reflecting a 16% increase compared to the same period last year. This growth was mainly driven by a 62% surge in Flash Fiber revenue and a 15% increase in Business Solutions revenue compared to the same period of 2024. PTML (Ufone) also demonstrated robust performance, with a 17% rise in revenue, while Ubank recorded an impressive 25% revenue growth compared to the corresponding period last year.

Topline growth coupled with cost optimization measures and a stable macroeconomic environment resulted in posting an operating profit of Rs 9.8 billion by the Group. PTCL operating profit increased by 38% to Rs. 7.9 billion. Ufone posted a strong operating profit of Rs. 7.6 billion. The Group has posted a net loss of Rs. 9.9 billion for the period primarily due to one-off adjustments including recording of additional pension liability as ordered by the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan. Further, Ubank's bottom line remained under pressure due to accelerated Expected Credit Loss (ECL) against the unsecured portfolio.

PTCL's rapid expansion of its FTTH footprint has been a key driver of its exceptional revenue growth. Building on the momentum from last year, the company remained focused on providing the fastest and most reliable internet services through its flagship offering, 'Flash Fiber,' which continued to lead as Pakistan's No. 1 FTTH service. Flash Fiber crossed the milestone of 700,000 subscribers nationwide, marking a 39% year-on-year increase in its customer base.

PTCL's Enterprise Business recorded a 14% increase in revenue compared to the same period last year, while the Carrier and Wholesale segment maintained its growth momentum with an 18% overall revenue increase. Additionally, revenue from International segment rose by 10% year-on-year.

The business services segment reinforced its market leadership, retaining its top position in IP bandwidth, cloud services, data centers, and other ICT service areas.

During half year 2025, PTCL experienced strong growth in IP bandwidth and managed capacity penetration within the Wholesale segment, boosting adoption of emerging digital services such as Content Delivery Networks. Strategic partnerships were formed with major CMOs for IP bandwidth and satellite-based connectivity across Pakistan, particularly in AJK and GB, including a landmark alliance with a leading satellite provider to expand broadband access nationwide.

Ufone 4G launched 'Super 5', a flexible connectivity plan for up to five users, offering shared data and voice under a single subscription. Designed for families, friends, and small teams, it provides a simple and cost-effective way to stay seamlessly connected.

PTML's digital sub-brand (ONIC) has crossed 300,000 subscribers in May 2025, marking 132% YoY growth and redefining mobile experiences through a fully digital model tailored to today's user.

Social Impact: 'Dil Se' Initiatives Making a Difference

PTCL Group continued to create meaningful impact through its flagship platform Dil Se, driven by values of digital inclusion, compassion, and innovation. Key initiatives include:

  • Under 'Ba-Ikhtiar', talented women entrepreneurs designed the official Peshawar Zalmi kit for PSL 2025. The initiative was featured exclusively on BBC, receiving widespread recognition.

  • The AI-powered fashion show presented at the Ba-Ikhtiar graduation ceremony in Islamabad was featured on the World Economic Forum blog, highlighting how technology can foster inclusive progress.

  • The Clean Water Project, originally launched to benefit 15,000 people in Thar, is now expanding to reach 200,000 individuals. The next phase will introduce sustainable solutions including wells, reverse osmosis (RO) plants, and rainwater harvesting systems to ensure long-term access to clean drinking water.

Your attention is drawn to note 14.2 of PTCL's interim financial statements for the period, wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP), by order dated July 10, 2025, directed the Company to recognize its continuing liability towards former civil servants transferred from the Telegraph & Telephone (T&T) Department to the Corporation and subsequently to the Company, and to record this as a declared liability in line with applicable accounting and corporate law.

The liability covers differential of pension payable in accordance with prevailing standards for similarly placed public servants. The SCP further held that such benefits are not payable to workmen / workers, ex-civil servants who availed Voluntary Separation Scheme, or employees appointed by PTC, and remanded certain Transferred Employees' cases to the High Courts for determination of their civil servant status.

The management and employees of PTCL Group remain committed to providing quality services at competitive prices through concerted efforts to be the partner of choice for our customers and to improve shareholders' value.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY LIMITED REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONDENSED INTERIM UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim unconsolidated statement of financial position of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) as at 30 June 2025 and the related condensed interim unconsolidated statement of profit or loss, condensed interim unconsolidated statement of other comprehensive income, condensed interim unconsolidated statement of changes in equity, and condensed interim unconsolidated statement of cash flows, and notes to the financial statements for the six-month period then ended (here-in-after referred to as the "interim financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 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 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

Pursuant to the requirement of Section 237 (1) (b) of the Companies Act, 2017, only cumulative figures for the half year, presented in the second quarter, accounts are subject to a limited scope review by the statutory auditors of the Company. Accordingly, the figures of the condensed interim unconsolidated statement of profit and loss and condensed interim unconsolidated statement of other comprehensive income for the three-month period ended 30 June 2025 have not been reviewed by us.

    Where the provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 differ with the requirements of IAS 34, the provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 have been followed.

    These financial statements are the condensed separate financial statements of the Company. In addition to these condensed separate financial statements, the Company also prepares condensed consolidated financial statements.

  3. BASIS OF PREPARATION

    These condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information required in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with the approved accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's latest annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

  4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

    1. The preparation of these 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 judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historic experience including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

      Estimates and judgments made by the management in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those used in the preparation of the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 except for the following:

      As disclosed in Note 14.2, during the period, a change in accounting estimate has been recognized in accordance with IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, as a result of the judgment of the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) in relation to pension litigation.

      Following the SCP's judgment, the Company conducted a revised actuarial valuation for employees entitled to increased pensionary benefits and compensation. This revised valuation was carried out in accordance with prevailing standards applicable to similarly situated civil servants.

      As a result of this reassessment, the following changes in actuarial assumptions and estimates were made:

      • Adjustment to future pension growth rate assumptions for civil servants and others.

      • Incorporation of additional compensation elements mandated by the SCP decision.

        As a result, the loss before tax has increased by Rs. 5,890,142 thousand and Other Comprehensive Income (net of tax) has increased by Rs. 16,804,957 thousand. The Company will continue to assess these assumptions periodically in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

    2. The Company holds an investment in its wholly owned subsidiary, U Microfinance Bank Limited ("the Bank"), which is carried at cost less any impairment, amounting to Rs. 12,933,857 thousand (December 31, 2024: Rs. 11,083,857 thousand).

      As at 30 June 2025, management performed an impairment test to assess whether the carrying amount of the investment in the Bank exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount was determined based on the value-in-use approach, using the Dividend Discount Model (DDM). The DDM estimates the present value of future expected dividends to be received from the Bank, based on the following key assumptions:

      1. Forecast period: [e.g., 5 years from 2025 to 2029].

      2. Expected dividend payouts: Based on approved budgets and management projections.

      3. Terminal growth rate: 6%.

      4. Discount rate: 17.7%, reflecting the estimated cost of equity, adjusted for the risks specific to the Bank and the microfinance industry.

      Management's projections incorporated expectations of future profitability, regulatory capital requirements, and macroeconomic conditions relevant to the Bank's operations. The Bank's Management forecasts that it will meet all regulatory requirements in due course. Based on the results of the impairment assessment, the recoverable amount of the investment exceeded its carrying amount. Accordingly, no impairment loss was recognized in the financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2025.

      Management believes that the key assumptions used are reasonable and supportable. However, changes in any significant assumptions, such as a material decline in the Bank's profitability or dividend capacity, may impact the recoverable amount in future periods.

  5. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies and the methods of computations adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 .

  1. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

    There has been no material change in contingencies as disclosed in the last audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024, except in 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3 as disclosed below:

    1. For the tax years 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 to 2023, Taxation Officer disallowed certain expenses, tax credits and levied short deduction of Withholding Tax (WHT). The impugned orders were challenged at the relevant appellate forums which allowed partial relief thereof. After taking into account the orders of CIR (Appeals), ATIR as well as rectification orders tax impact of the disallowances is Rs 51,115,762 thousand. Appeals on the remaining outstanding items are pending adjudication before ATIR. Reference in respect of 2007 is subjudice before the Honorable Islamabad High Court. Stay has been obtained in all cases from different fora. The CIR (Appeals) have remanded back the disallowances relating to tax years 2014 and 2020 having tax impact of Rs. 5,937,972 thousand to Taxation Officer.

    2. This relates to pension litigation disclosed in note 14.7 of the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. By order dated July 10, 2025, the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) directed the Company to recognize its continuing liability towards former civil servants transferred from the Telegraph & Telephone (T&T) Department to the PTC and subsequently to the Company, and to record this as a declared liability in line with applicable accounting and corporate law.

      The liability covers differential of pension payable in accordance with prevailing standards for similarly placed public servants. The SCP further held that such benefits are not payable to

      workmen/workers, ex-civil servants who availed Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS), or employees appointed by PTC, and remanded certain transferred employees' cases to the High Courts for determination of their civil servant status.

      To comply, the Company engaged an independent legal advisor to determine such transferred employees who being civil servant at the time of their transfer are entitled to increase in pension and has recognized an amount of Rs. 5,890,142 thousand, as past service cost in the statement of profit or loss, based on its best estimate of expenditure required to meet its obligation as determined by the SCP. In this respect, the Company had also engaged independent actuary to calculate additional pension liability (refer to note 4.1, for changes in underlying actuarial assumptions).

      Based on this exercise, adequate provision has been made, and based on legal advice, any potential adverse findings from the High Courts are not expected to materially impact the financial statements.

    3. This relates to the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) litigation as disclosed in Note 14.8 of the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Pursuant to the proceedings, the Competition Appellate Tribunal, vide its order dated August 11, 2025, has imposed a penalty on the Company equivalent to 2% of the turnover from the relevant period, generated by Long Distance and International (LDI) operations solely through International Clearing House (ICH) linked activities. In compliance with this order, the Company has recognized a penalty amounting to Rs. 458,830 thousands under other costs in the statement of profit or loss.
