DIRECTORS' REPORT
Economic Highlights
In the first half of 2025, Pakistan's economy has shown a real GDP growth rate reaching approximately 2.68%, while inflation has eased steadily. KSE-100 index rose to as high as 125,627 points as at June 30, 2025. Large-Scale Manufacturing (LSM) registered a year-on-year growth of 2.3% (YoY) despite ongoing challenges, with 12 out of 22 sectors showing positive trends. Key contributors include textile, wearing apparel, petroleum products, beverages, pharmaceuticals, automobiles and cement etc. The State Bank of Pakistan lowered the policy rate by 100bps to 11% during the half year ended June 30, 2025, in line with easing inflation.
On the external front, current account posted a surplus of USD 2,106 million during fiscal year FY25 as against a deficit of USD 2,072 million during the similar period last year. The primary reasons for the reduction in current account deficit are increased workers' remittances by USD 8,049 million and higher exports by USD 2,018 million, partially offset by the increase in imports by USD 6,132 million.
Bank's Operating Results and Financial Review
The bank has posted following financial results for the half year ended June 30, 2025, summary of which is as under:
(Rupees in millions) Half Year ended Half Year ended June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 | ||
Profit before provision | 1,289 | 2,223 |
Credit loss allowance and write offs - net | (884) | (920) |
Profit before taxation | 405 | 1,303 |
Taxation | (220) | (640) |
Profit after taxation | 186 | 663 |
Earnings per share - PKR | 0.18 | 0.66 |
During the period under review, Net interest income decreased by 26% over the comparative period, which is attributable to decrease in policy rate from 20.50% in June'24 to 11.00% in June'25. Non-interest income stood at Rs. 885 million primarily driven by capital gains of Rs. 290 million on investments and foreign exchange income of 348million. In addition, the Bank realized a gross capital gain of Rs. 346 million in its FVOCI investment portfolio, which has been directly recognized in the Statement of Changes in Equity (SOCE) in accordance with IFRS-9 requirements. Operating costs during the half year ended June'25 decreased by 2.4% over the comparative period despite certain strategic initiatives, including the addition of 13 new branches during the period and the implementation of key technology upgrades.
The bank is continuously right sizing its earning assets mix vis-à-vis credit risk. The bank has increased its balance sheet size by Rs. 11,312 million which primarily represents an increase of Rs. 5,998 million in investments and Rs. 5,999 million in lending's to financial

institutions which is partially offset by decrease of Rs. 395 million in Loans and Advances over Dec-2024 position. On the liabilities side, interbank borrowings increased by Rs. 11,025.6 million, while deposits grew by Rs. 1,172.9 million, reflecting a 1.1% rise over Dec-2024 position. The Bank's deposit profile strengthened during the period, with the Current Accounts (CA) mix improved from 21.4% as of December 31, 2024, to 31.8% as of June 30, 2025. The Bank's Current and Savings Accounts (CASA) mix improved from 44.0% as of December 31, 2024, to 58.5% as of June 30, 2025.
Credit Rating
The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency Limited (PACRA), premier credit rating agency of the country, have assigned the entity ratings at 'AA/A-1' (Double A/A-One) to the Bank with 'Stable' outlook. These long-term and short-term ratings of the Bank denote high credit quality with adequate protection factor and strong capability for timely payments to all financial commitments owing to strong liquidity positions.
Outlook
Going ahead, State Bank of Pakistan and the Ministry of Finance anticipate that real GDP growth will range between 3.25% and 4.25% in FY2026. This outlook reflects a measured improvement in macroeconomic conditions, underpinned by ongoing fiscal and monetary reforms.
A key structural shift is also underway in the financial system, as SBP accelerates industry transition towards a full Islamic banking model by 2027, following the Federal Shariah Court's ruling. The State Bank of Pakistan has introduced strategic guidelines and updated conversion frameworks. In this regard, the Bank has initiated conversion process towards Islamic Banking, the road map for this transition was approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank in first quarter 2025.
The Bank plans to further expand its network with the addition of 17 new branches during FY 2025, which will be in addition to the three (3) branches already made operational. In parallel, the Bank remains focused on strategically strengthening its digital footprint to enhance accessibility and deliver an improved customer experience.
Acknowledgement
We wish to express sincere gratitude to our customers, business partners and shareholders for their patronage and trust. The Board of Directors and the management would like to thank the State Bank of Pakistan, Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan, Federal Board of Revenue and other regulatory bodies for their guidance and support. We also sincerely appreciate the dedication, commitment and teamwork of all employees of the Bank who worked very hard to transform the Bank into a successful franchise.

Independent Auditor's Review Report
To the members of Samba Bank Limited
Report on review of Interim Financial Statements Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim statement of financial position of Samba Bank Limited ("the Bank") as at June 30, 2025 and the related condensed interim statement of profit and loss account, the condensed interim statement of comprehensive income, condensed interim statement of changes in equity, and condensed interim cash flow statement, and notes to the condensed interim financial statements for the half year then ended (here-in-after referred to as the "interim financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these 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 interim 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 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting.
Other Matters
10
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 Bank. Accordingly, the figures of the condensed interim statement of profit and loss account and condensed interim statement of comprehensive income for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 have not been reviewed by us.
The financial statements of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2024 and half year ended June 30, 2024 were audited and reviewed by another firm of Chartered Accountants who had expressed an unmodified opinion / conclusion on those statements vide their reports dated March 17, 2025 and August 28, 2024 respectively.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Shahbaz Akbar.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting. The accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting comprise of:
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as are notified under the Companies Act 2017;
Islamic Financial Accounting Standards (IFAS) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) as are notified under the Companies Act, 2017;
Provisions of and directives issued under the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and the Companies Act, 2017; and
Directives issued by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Wherever the requirements of the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962, the Companies Act, 2017 or the directives issued by the SBP and the SECP differ with the requirements of IAS 34, IFRS or IFAS, the requirements of the Banking Companies Ordinance,1962, the Companies Act, 2017 and the said directives, shall prevail.
The SBP has deferred the applicability of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 40, 'Investment Property' for banking companies through BSD Circular Letter No. 10 dated August 26, 2002 till further instructions. Further, the SECP has deferred the applicability of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 7, 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' on banks through its notification S.R.O 411(I)/2008 dated April 28, 2008. Accordingly, the requirements of these standards have not been considered in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements.
The disclosures made in these condensed interim financial statements have been limited based on the format prescribed by the SBP through BPRD Circular Letter No. 02 dated February 09, 2023 and the requirements of International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting". These do not include all the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Bank believes that there is no significant doubt on the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Standards, interpretations of and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are effective in the current period:
17
There are certain new and amended standards, issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), interpretations and amendments that are mandatory for the Bank's accounting periods beginning on or after January 01, 2025 but are considered not relevant or do not have any material effect on the Bank's operations
and are therefore not detailed in these condensed interim financial statements. Further, the comparative period has been restated to incorporate the impact of adoption of IFRS 9 as disclosed in note 4.1.1 of these condensed interim financial statements.
Standards, interpretations of and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet effective:
There are certain new and amended standards, issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), interpretations and amendments that are mandatory for the Bank's accounting periods beginning on or after January 01, 2026 but are considered not to be relevant or will not have any material effect on the Bank's financial statements except for:
the new standard - IFRS 18 'Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements' (published in April 2024) with applicability date of January 01, 2027 by IASB. IFRS 18 is yet to be adopted in Pakistan. IFRS 18 when adopted and applicable shall impact the presentation of 'Statement of Profit and Loss Account' with certain additional disclosures in the condensed interim financial statements.
amendments to IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' which clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of a financial asset or financial liability including settlement of liabilities through banking instruments and channels including electronic transfers. The amendment when applied may impact the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial liabilities.
amendment to IAS 21 'The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates' which will require Banks to apply a consistent approach in assessing whether a currency can be exchanged into another currency and, when it cannot, in determining the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide.
BASIS OF MEASUREMENT
Accounting convention
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investments classified at fair value through profit and loss and fair value through other comprehensive income: foreign exchange contracts are measured at fair value; right of use of asset and related lease liability is measured at present value on initial recognition; and staff loans is measured at fair value on initial recognition.
Functional and presentation currency
These condensed interim financial statements are presented in Pakistani Rupees, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency. The amounts are rounded off to the nearest thousand rupees except as stated otherwise.
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments'
The Bank had adopted IFRS 9 effective from January 01, 2024 with modified retrospective approach for restatement permitted under IFRS 9. The cumulative impact of initial application amounting to Rs. 503.1 million was recorded as an adjustment to equity at the beginning of the previous accounting period.
18
The Bank, in compliance with extended timelines prescribed in SBP's BPRD Circular Letter No. 16 dated July 29, 2024 and BPRD Circular Letter No. 01 dated January 22, 2025 had incorporated certain IFRS 9 related impacts in the last quarter of 2024.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements in conformity with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses as well as in the disclosure of contingent liabilities. It also requires management to exercise judgment in application of its accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and in future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The significant judgments made by the management in applying the Bank's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation were the same as those applied in the preparation of annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,2024 except for matters related to IFRS 9 which have been disclosed in note
4.1 to these condensed interim financial statements.
