HALF YEARLY REPORT 2025
Directors' Report to the Members -Unconsolidated
We are pleased to present the unconsolidated interim financial information of the company for the half year ended December 31, 2025. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The directors' report is prepared in accordance with section 227 of the Companies Act, 2017 and Chapter XII of the Listed Companies (Code of Corporate Governance) Regulations, 2019.
Financial highlights
Revenue of the company increased to Rs. 17.58 billion, reflecting a 34% increase compared to the same period last year. The significant growth in sales was underpinned by improved product availability, optimisation of the supply chain and enhanced commercial execution. The gross profit increased substantially to Rs. 9.90 billion, with the gross profit margin improving to 56.3%, compared to 49.2% in the corresponding period last year. This improvement was primarily driven by strategic price adjustments and a favorable shift in the product mix.
Finance costs, which had been a significant strain on the Company's profitability in prior periods, declined significantly to Rs. 520 million from Rs. 1,369 million in the corresponding period last year. This reduction was primarily attributable to the settlement of long-term borrowings following the divestment of Searle Pakistan Limited (SPL) and the easing of benchmark interest rates during the period. The resulting improvement in leverage and liquidity is also reflected in the reaffirmation of the Company's entity ratings at 'AA-/A1' with a Stable outlook by VIS Credit Rating Company Limited.
The comparative period also included a one-off impairment loss of Rs. 927 million relating to the Company's investment in SPL, which had adversely impacted prior year profitability.
As a result, the company recorded a profit after tax of Rs. 1,785 million, compared to a loss of Rs. 39 million in the corresponding period of the previous year.
Below is a summary of the financial results for the half year ended December 31, 2025:

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share after taxation for the period is Rs. 3.03 (December 2024: Rs. (0.07)). There is no dilution effect on the basic earnings per share of the Company, as the Company had no convertible dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding as at December 31, 2025.
.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Searle remains focused on expanding its market presence and sustaining organic growth while continuing to improve lives. Despite ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges, the Company is confident in its ability to navigate these with resilience and deliver consistent performance.
Recent developments, including the deregulation of non-essential drug prices, lower interest rates, and a stable exchange rate have improved business predictability and created a favorable environment for growth. The recent approval of Denosumab injections by the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan marks another milestone in Searle's biosimilar journey, strengthening its leadership in biotechnology and access to affordable advanced therapies.
The Company continues to build momentum in exports, particularly across GCC and CIS markets, supported by new manufacturing approvals from regional health authorities. At the same time, Searle is accelerating its digital transformation and sustainability initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and align with global standards.
We thank our shareholders for their continued trust and support. Searle remains committed to disciplined execution, innovation, and creating enduring value for all stakeholders.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of The Searle Company Limited
Report on review of Unconsolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying unconsolidated condensed interim statement of financial position of The Searle Company Limited as at December 31, 2025 and the related unconsolidated condensed interim statement of profit or loss, unconsolidated condensed interim statement of comprehensive income, unconsolidated condensed interim statement of changes in equity, unconsolidated condensed interim statement of cash flows, and notes to and forming part of the unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements for the half year then ended (here-in-after referred to as the "unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these unconsolidated 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 unconsolidated condensed 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 unconsolidated condensed 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 unconsolidated condensed 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 matter
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 unconsolidated condensed interim statement of profit or loss and unconsolidated condensed interim statement of comprehensive income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 have not been reviewed by us.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Syed Muhammad Hasnain.

CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

As disclosed in note 39.2.2 to the annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company had been contesting the validity and applicability of levy under section 4B before Sindh High Court. However, the Federal Constitutional Court of Pakistan, through its judgment dated 27 January 2026, has upheld section 4B as intra vires, confirming that the levy is constitutionally valid and continues to apply.
Consequently, in view of the above judgement the Company has recorded a liability amounting to Rs. 18.38 million as disclosed in these unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements - refer note 19.1.
However the Company has recorded a liability computed on the basis of the Company's filed income tax returns, whereas the tax authorities had issued notices for recoverability of super tax for tax years 2015 to 2019 amounting to Rs. 403.25 million on the basis of amended taxable income. However the Company has not provided for the full amount on the basis of the following contentions:

Erroneous additions made in the notices received.
Status of the pending appeal of the Company before the appellate authorities.
The Company expects a favorable outcome based on the advice of its legal and tax consultant.
As disclosed in note 39.2.3 of the annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company had challenged the levy of super tax under section 4C. However, the Federal Constitutional Court of Pakistan, through its judgment dated 27 January 2026, has upheld section 4C as intra vires, confirming that the levy is constitutionally valid and continues to apply. All petitions filed by the Company stand dismissed. Consequently, in view of the above judgement the Company has recorded a liability amounting to Rs. 254.73 million as disclosed in these unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements - refer note 19.1.

Consequent to order 4480/2018 dated August 3, 2018 issued by the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan, the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) fixed maximum retail prices of drugs vide notification S.R.O 1610/2018 dated December 31, 2018. Subsequently, DRAP vide notification S.R.O 34(1)/2019 dated January 10, 2019 increased the maximum retail prices of drugs by nine percent over and above the maximum retail prices as determined under the hardship category during the year 2018, and fifteen percent over and above existing maximum retail prices determined under Drug Pricing Policy, 2018 for drugs other than those specified under the hardship category.
The Honorable High Court of Sindh vide order dated January 22, 2019 disposed off all the legal cases filed by the Company against DRAP. As mandated under the orders dated August 3, 2018 and November 14, 2018 passed by the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan in Human Rights Case No. 2858 of 2006, the Company may file an appeal before the Appellate Board of DRAP under Section 9 of the Drugs Act, 1976, if dissatisfied with the prices fixed by DRAP.
Consequently, pursuant to the above, the Company challenged the prices of four of its products namely, Peditral, Gravinate, Metodine and Hydrylline before the Appellate Board of DRAP. The Appellate Board under its orders dated June 18, 2019, June 20 ,2019 and June 25, 2019 rejected the said application of the Company. The Company challenged the said orders in the Honourable High Court of Sindh and an interim order has been passed restricting DRAP from taking any coercive action against the Company.
During the year 2022, the Company received a notice from DRAP which directed the Company having generic brand name, named Co- Extor, to lower its prices by 15% below those of corresponding originator brands, vide its letter dated May 05, 2021, in respect of the sale of its product "Co-Extor" at prices higher than those approved by DRAP. The Company has challenged the said order and obtained a stay order dated May 20, 2021 from the Honourable High Court of Sindh, restricting DRAP from taking any coercive action against the Company.
During the period, the Company has received an annual price adjustment on all of its essential products at a rate of 3.14% based on CPI 2025.
Exposure of the Company due to abovementioned litigations amounted to Rs. 4.32 billion (June 30, 2025: Rs.4.14 billion).

This represents the super tax liability in respect of the levies imposed under sections 4C and 4B of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. The Company had previously contested the validity and applicability of section 4B and 4C before the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan. However, the Federal Constitutional Court of Pakistan, through its judgment dated January 27, 2026, has upheld sections 4B and 4C as intra vires, thereby confirming that these levies are constitutionally valid and continue to apply.
In view of the above judgment, the Company has recognised a provision of Rs. 254.73 million in respect of super tax under section 4C, computed at the applicable rate of 10% for tax years 2022 to 2025. Further the Company has also recognised a provision of Rs. 18.38 million for super tax under section 4B - refer note 15.

Consolidated Directors' Report to the Members
We are pleased to present the consolidated interim financial information of the group for the half year ended December 31, 2025. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 -'Interim Financial Reporting'. The directors' report is prepared in accordance with section 227 of the Companies Act, 2017 and Chapter XII of the Listed Companies (Code of Corporate Governance) Regulations, 2019.
Financial highlights
Revenue of the group increased to Rs. 19.65 billion, reflecting a 31% increase compared to the same period last year. The significant growth in sales was underpinned by improved product availability, optimisation of the supply chain and enhanced commercial execution. Gross profit increased substantially to Rs. 10.75 billion, with the gross profit margin improving to 54.7%, compared to 48.0% in the corresponding period last year. This improvement was primarily driven by strategic price adjustments and a favorable shift in the product mix.
Finance costs declined substantially to Rs. 541 million, down from Rs. 1,402 million in the corresponding period last year. This reduction was largely attributable to lower interest rates and the settlement of long-term borrowings following the divestment of SPL.
As a result, the group recorded a profit after tax of Rs. 1,806 million, compared to Rs. 69 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
Below is a summary of the financial results for the half year ended December 31, 2025:
