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 nine months ended 30th September 2025.

During the first nine months of 2025, PTCL Group sustained its strong growth trajectory, further reinforcing its position as Pakistan's premier integrated telecom service provider. The Group recorded an impressive 15% year-on-year revenue increase, fueled by robust performance across key segments including fixed broadband, mobile data, business solutions, and microfinance.

PTCL Group achieved revenue of Rs. 188.3 billion, marking a 15% increase year-on-year. The remarkable growth was fueled by a 56% rise in Flash Fiber revenue and a 17% increase in Business Solutions revenue versus the same period in 2024. PTML (Ufone) maintained its strong momentum with a 15% revenue growth, while Ubank recorded an impressive 19% growth over the corresponding period last year.

The Group delivered an operating profit of Rs. 15.9 billion, driven by strong topline growth, cost optimization measures and a stable macroeconomic backdrop. PTCL's operating profit rose by 57% to Rs. 12.9 billion, while Ufone continued strong performance with an operating profit of Rs.

11.9 billion. The Group recorded a net loss of Rs. 11.2 billion, 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 owing to accelerated Expected Credit Loss (ECL) against the unsecured portfolio.

PTCL's rapid expansion of its FTTH network remained a key catalyst for its exceptional revenue growth. The company remained committed to delivering the fastest and most reliable internet experience through its flagship offering, 'Flash Fiber.' Maintaining its leadership as Pakistan's No.1 FTTH service, Flash Fiber crossed a significant milestone of 750,000 subscribers nationwide, representing a 30% growth over the same period last year.

The Business Services segment further strengthened its leadership position, remaining the market leader in IP bandwidth, cloud solutions, data center services, and other ICT solutions.

The Enterprise Business segment delivered a 14% revenue growth compared to the same period last year, supported by strong demand from corporate clients. The Carrier and Wholesale segment maintained its positive momentum, achieving a 24% increase in revenue, while the International segment posted a 6% year-on-year growth.

PTCL also recorded robust growth in IP bandwidth and managed capacity penetration within the Wholesale segment, boosting adoption of emerging digital services such as Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). The company also established strategic partnerships with major CMOs to enhance IP bandwidth and satellite-based connectivity across Pakistan, particularly in AJK and GB, including a landmark collaboration with a leading satellite provider aimed at expanding nationwide broadband access.

PTCL sealed a landmark Trans-Pakistan connectivity agreement with leading Chinese operators, strengthening east-west digital trade routes. In addition, PTCL also achieved a major milestone by executing wet segment capacity sales from Singapore to Marseille through submarine cable partnerships, underscoring Pakistan's growing role in global digital infrastructure.

Ufone sustained its growth trajectory, achieving a 5.9 percentage-point increase in 4G base penetration to reach 69.2% in September 2025. The company also advanced its network modernisation by phasing out 44% of its 3G network and reallocating spectrum resources to strengthen 4G and VoLTE performance.

The Group's digital and financial services portfolio delivered strong momentum. UPaisa recorded

1.2 million monthly active users, reflecting approximately 153% year-on-year growth, while the My Ufone app reached 5.4 million monthly active users, up 65%. Ufone also maintained its leadership in digital recharge penetration.

The Competition Commission of Pakistan granted Phase-II approval for the proposed acquisition of Telenor Pakistan by PTCL, marking an important milestone in the consolidation of the telecom sector. This milestone strengthens PTCL Group's position in the industry, further driving connectivity, expanding digital access, and contributing to the Government's vision of a digitally empowered Pakistan.

The Company also partnered with Mercantile, Apple's authorised distributor in Pakistan, to launch the iPhone 17 series bundled with exclusive offers on Ufone and PTCL Flash Fiber services in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. The partnership offers official, warranty-backed devices with extended warranties, instant insurance coverage, and bundled telecom benefits, providing customers with premium connectivity and an enhanced digital experience in line with PTCL Group's commitment to delivering modern and reliable services.

Building on our success at the Pakistan Digital Awards and Effie Pakistan, PTCL Group has added another milestone by winning four prestigious honours at the Dragons of Pakistan 2025 Awards. The Group earned a Gold Award for 'Dil Se' initiative: Thar Water Plants, a Bronze Award for 'Data Bohhaaat Hai x PSL', and two Black Awards for 'Hockey Hai Pakistan Ki Shaan' and 'Data Bohhaaat Hai Weekly Grand Offer'. These campaigns celebrated Pakistan's spirit, creative excellence and consistent focus on meaningful communication that connects with audiences across Pakistan. Each initiative reflects the purpose and passion that continue to guide PTCL Group's work.

Social Impact: 'Dil Se' Initiatives Making a Difference

Under its flagship social impact platform 'Dil Se', PTCL Group continues to drive meaningful change by establishing strategic partnerships and delivering community-focused programs that promote socioeconomic inclusion, empowerment, and connectivity nationwide.

Following the success of the first phase of the 'Ba-Ikhtiar' program, PTCL Group renewed its partnership with the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF) to launch the second phase of the initiative for the economic and digital integration of small-scale women entrepreneurs. The Group has initiated a nationwide registration drive for the expanded program. The rollout will begin with the Christian community in Rawalpindi and the Kalash community in Chitral KP, before expanding to 23 cities across Pakistan to support women entrepreneurs through digital and financial enablement.

PTCL Group is further expanding its partnership with PPAF to address other vital aspects of community well-being. The institutions have signed another MoU to provide access to clean drinking water in underserved regions of Thar and South Punjab through solutions such as reverse osmosis systems, rainwater harvesting plants, and hand pumps, which will benefit over 200,000 people.

Additionally, PTCL Group demonstrated operational resilience following the recent floods that affected several regions of Pakistan. Ufone 4G provided free call minutes in the most impacted districts to help people contact emergency services and their families, while PTCL extended bill discounts on Fixed Broadband services to affected customers. These initiatives reflect the Group's commitment to community welfare and its role as a trusted connectivity partner during times of crisis.

PTCL Group also introduced SUNO, an AI-powered early warning system developed in partnership with ConnectHear to support the deaf and hard-of-hearing community during emergencies and natural disasters. The system delivers sign language video alerts via Ufone's WhatsApp platform, ensuring timely and accessible communication free of cost. This initiative represents PTCL Group's ongoing effort to promote inclusion and public safety through technology.

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.

On behalf of the Board

    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 4.2, 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.
