Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited

DIRECTORS' REVIEW

We are pleased to present the unaudited financial statements of your Company for the period ending March 31, 2025. The Company has been able to earn a profit before tax of Rs. 17,657 million as against Rs. 16,440 million during the corresponding period of last year. The Profit after tax amounted to Rs. 10,138 million as against a profit of Rs. 10,724 million during the corresponding period of the previous year. The earnings per share for the period under review is Rs. 15.98 as against earnings per share of Rs. 16.91 for the same period last year.

The summary of financial results for the period under review is given below:

(Rs. in Million)

Profit before taxation 17,657

Provision for taxation (7,519)

Profit after taxation 10,138

The marginal decrease in profit after tax for the period is primarily attributed to increased provision for taxation as compared to the corresponding period of last year. The disallowance against UFG benchmark witnessed increase despite a reduction in the overall volume of UFG from 24,559 MMCF to 22,985 MMCF during the two periods presented. Increase in disallowance is attributable to changes in sales mix and reduction of Gas input due to low offtake by Power and Captive power consumers.

In spite of the prevailing economic challenges confronting the gas sector, the Company's consistent performance and sustained profitability are highly commendable. The Board of Directors, Management, and staff remain confident that the Company's operational and financial performance will continue to improve in the years ahead.

PROJECTS

During the period, your Company has laid 59.87 kms Transmission Lines with diameters ranging from 6" to 24". In addition to Transmission Lines, 352.996 kms of Distribution mains were laid during the third quarter period ended on March 31, 2025 for improving pressure and supplying gas to new towns which has enhanced customers satisfaction level. Moreover, the Company remained in the process of constructing 20 kms Contract Lines of Razgir Project for M/s MOL.

ONGOING /FUTURE PROJECTS

During the period, the Company achieved major milestones in strengthening its transmission network. The 18" dia × 230 km Shaheed Fahad Ashfaq Project connecting Bannu West and Wali gas fields to Daudkhel was successfully commissioned on March 23, 2025, enabling gas injection from MPCL's Shewa Well-1.

Under the Kot Palak Project, multiple transmission pipelines are being laid to inject 45 MMCFD gas from Kot Palak field and augment the system, including replacement of the existing 8" dia × 44.6 km line with a new 18" dia line.



03



Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited

The 16" dia × 3 km Chah Tamboli-Sundar Industrial Estate Loopline is ready for commissioning, while construction of the 20" dia × 13.6 km QV-2 to Fauji Fertilizer pipeline at Mirpur Mathelo is progressing on a cost-sharing basis for supply of 105 MMCFD RLNG.

Design work has also been completed for a 24" dia × 63.5 km line from CV-25 to the Adhi-Rawat network to enhance operational flexibility. Additionally, SNGPL commissioned an 8" dia × 2.5 km Makori East-6 Flow Line for M/s MOL, and construction of other MOL flow lines, including Razgir-1 to Tulanj West Well-2 (8" dia × 13 km) and Tulanj West Well-2 to EPF Tulanj (10" dia × 7 km), is complete and ready for commissioning.

  1. Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are effective in the current period

    Certain standards, amendments and interpretations to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are effective for accounting period beginning on July 1, 2024, but are considered not to be relevant or to have any significant effect on the Company's operations (although they may affect the accounting for future transactions and events) and are, therefore, not detailed in these condensed interim financial statements, except for the following:

    Applicability of IFRS 14 - Regulatory Deferral Accounts

    IFRS 14 'Regulatory Deferral Accounts' is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2019. It is intended to encourage rate-regulated entities to adopt IFRS while bridging the gap with similar entities that already apply IFRS but do not recognize regulatory deferral accounts. This is achieved by requiring separate presentation of the regulatory deferral account balances (and movements in these balances) in the statement of financial position, statement of profit or loss, and statement of comprehensive income. The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), vide its letter No. SMD/PRDD/Comp/(4)/2021/146 dated November 5, 2024, granted the Company an exemption from the application of IFRS 14 up to the financial year ended June 30, 2024.

    Upon expiry of the above-mentioned exemption, the Company approached SECP for a further extension. However, the SECP communicated that, following the promulgation of the SOE Act, 2023, the authority to grant full or partial exemptions from IFRS application now rests with the Federal Government. Consequently, the Company has taken up the matter with the Ministry of Finance through the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) to seek exemption from IFRS 14.

The Ministry of Finance, via communication dated August 6, 2025, advised placing the exemption request before the Cabinet Committee on State Owned Enterprises ('CCoSOEs') in accordance with sub-section (2) of section 3 of the SOE Act, 2023. Accordingly, the Company has formally requested the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) to submit a summary to the CCoSOEs for exemption approval. The matter is currently under consideration by the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division). Despite the absence of an extension, the Company has not complied with the presentation requirements of IFRS 14. The Company, as a gas utility engaged in rate-regulated activities, has recognized Regulatory Deferral Account (RDA) balances in accordance with IFRS 14 and presents such balances as a 'Tariff adjustment' in 'Other receivables'. There is no impact on the recognition and measurement of these transactions under IFRS 14. Had the Company applied IFRS 14, the impact on the presentation of condensed interim financial statements would have been as follows:

Effect on condensed interim statement of profit or loss

(Decrease) / Increase in:

Tariff adjustment

Net movement in regulatory deferral account balances

Profit/(loss) for the period before net movement in regulatory deferral account balance, would have amounted to

Profit for the period and net movements in regulatory deferral account balance, would have amounted to

Earnings / (loss) per share

Basic and diluted EPS (excluding net movement in RDA) Basic and diluted EPS (including net movement in RDA)

  1. Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are effective in the current period

    There are certain standards, amendments to the accounting standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the Company's accounting periods beginning on or after July 01, 2025 but are considered not to be relevant or to have any significant effect on the Company's operations and are, therefore, not detailed in these condensed interim financial statements.

  2. Accounting estimates

    The preparation of condensed interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

    In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation were the same as those that were applied to the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2024, with the exception of change in estimate that is required in determining the provision for income taxes as referred to in note 3.5.

  3. Taxation

Income tax expense is recognized in each interim period based on best estimate of the weighted average annual effective income tax rate expected for the full financial year. Amounts accrued for income tax expense in one interim period may have to be adjusted in a subsequent interim period of that financial year if the estimate of the annual income tax rate changes. Where different income tax rates apply to different categories of income, a separate rate is applied to each category of pretax income.

Included in trade payables is an amount of Rs 319,105.800 million (Jun 30, 2024: Rs 311,441.564 million) due to Pakistan State Oil Company Limited (PSO). This amount represents payables for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) supplied by PSO. The agreement for the supply of LNG has not yet been finalized and is currently under negotiation. Any additional liability or adjustment that may arise will be recorded upon the finalization of the agreement.

The Honorable Islamabad High Court vide its decision dated January 31, 2013, declared Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (GIDC) Act, 2011 as ultra vires to the Constitution and directed the Company to adjust the amount already received on this account in the future bills of the petitioners. However, the Honorable Islamabad High Court vide its decision dated March 18, 2013, directed that neither the appellant shall recover the disputed amount from the respondents, nor the amount which has become payable to the respondents on the basis of impugned judgment shall be paid back to the respondents.

An order on the subject matter was also passed by the Peshawar High Court vide its judgment dated June 13, 2013, whereby the Court declared the GIDC Act, 2011 as ultra vires to the Constitution. An appeal was filed in the Supreme Court of Pakistan, which by its order dated December 30, 2013 suspended the judgment of Peshawar High Court. On December 31, 2013, the OGRA issued a notification directing levy of GIDC at revised rates.

In September 2014, a GIDC Ordinance was issued by President of Pakistan, pursuant to which, on directions of the OGRA, the Company charged GIDC from its consumers with effect from September 2014. The Ordinance was superseded by GIDC Act 2015 passed by Parliament of Pakistan. The Act ratified the preceding GIDC Act, 2011 and GIDC Ordinance, 2014 and its provisions. However, a special committee has been constituted by the Parliament to decide on previous arrears of GIDC due from customers and to make recommendations for removal of any anomalies in the GIDC Act. Based on the report of the sub-committee of the special committee requisite amendment in GIDC Act, 2015 had already been laid in the Senate through GIDC Amendment Bill and the same was referred to the Senate Standing Committee on Energy. However, a number of consumers of the Company contested and have obtained stay order from various courts against recovery of GIDC. Later, certain amendments were introduced in GIDC Act, 2015 through GIDC (Amendment) Act, 2018, which inter alia include change in effective date for applicability of mark-up on delayed payments of GIDC and a settlement option for CNG consumers for GIDC payable pertaining to the period January 1, 2012 to May 21, 2015, subject to agreement with the Company.

During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan has ordered the recovery of previous year GIDC in 24 monthly installments and till the recovery of outstanding GIDC no further GIDC will be charged / recovered from the consumers.

Furthermore, principal amount of GIDC amounting to Rs. 133,309.965 million (June 30, 2024: Rs. 133,476.809 million) is recoverable from consumers and payable to Government of Pakistan. These financial statements do not reflect the said amounts since the provisions of the GIDC Act require the Company to pay GIDC as and when the same is collected from consumers. Furthermore, some consumers have obtained stay orders against recovery of the same and consequently in view of the legal advisors of the Company, the Company is not liable to pay such amounts until the same are recovered. Both the principal amount and sales tax on GIDC shall be paid as and when these balances are collected from the consumers.

  1. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

    1. Contingencies

      There is no significant change in contingencies from the preceding audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2024, except for the following:

      1. The Sales Tax Authorities raised a demand of Rs 9,020.411 million through an order dated December 12, 2023, on account of alleged concealment of sales for the period from July 2017 to June 2018. Being aggrieved, the Company filed an appeal with the Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) [CIR(A)], who remanded the case for fresh verification of facts. Subsequent to the period, the Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue (DCIR), through an order dated, June 29, 2025, confirmed the demand. Being aggrieved, the Company has filed an application before the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for the constitution of an Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee (ADRC).

        No provision has been made in these condensed interim financial statements, as the Company, based on the opinion of its legal counsel, remains confident of a favourable outcome.

      2. With reference to notes 18.1 (b), (c), and (e) of the annual audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2024, the Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee (ADRC), subsequent to the reporting period, through an order dated May 29, 2025, decided several matters in the Company's favor. These matters relate to the disallowance of consumer contribution, provision for post-retirement benefits, and foreign exchange loss, resulting in a tax benefit of Rs 3,513.300 million. Conversely, the ADRC ruled against the Company on issues concerning the disallowance of interest on gas sales arrears, tax paid at the import stage, and the taxability of interest income on staff loans. The combined tax impact of these unfavorable decisions amounts to Rs 384.500 million, and the Company has provided for these amounts in the condensed interim financial statements.

        Regarding the cost equalization demand amounting to Rs 31,814.300 million, the ADRC referred this matter to a higher appellate authority. Consequently, the Company filed an appeal before the Lahore High Court (LHC) on June 27, 2025, which is currently pending adjudication. No provision has been recorded in respect of this demand, as management, based on advice from its tax consultant, expects a favorable outcome.

      3. With reference to note 18.1 (f) of the annual audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2024, a tax demand of Rs 921.492 million has been confirmed by DCIR, through an assessment order dated, June 29, 2025. The Company, being aggrieved by the decision, has filed an application before the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for the constitution of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee (ADRC). No provision has been made in these condensed interim financial statements, as the Company, based on the opinion of its legal counsel, remains confident of a favorable outcome.

      4. With reference to note 18.1 (n) of the annual audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company withdrew the case from the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) and filed an application, on October 17, 2025, with the FBR for the constitution of the ADRC. No provision has been made in these condensed interim financial statements, as the Company, based on the opinion of its legal counsel, remains confident of a favorable outcome.
