These condensed interim financial statements are presented in Pak Rupee, which is the company's functional and presentation currency.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
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, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') as notified under the Companies Act, 2017;
Provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017; and
Provisions of the State-Owned Enterprises (Governance and Operations) Act, 2023 ('the SOE Act') and the State-Owned Enterprises Ownership and Management Policy, 2023 ('the SOE Policy').
Where provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 differ from the IAS 34, the provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 have been followed.
In case requirements of the SOE Act or the SOE Policy differ from the Companies Act,
11
Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited2017, the provisions of the SOE Act or the SOE Policy shall prevail. Where the requirements of the SOE Act and the SOE Policy differ from IAS 34, the provisions of the SOE Act or the SOE Policy shall prevail to the extent of such difference.
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) through SRO 1784(1)12024 dated November 04. 2024 has granted exemption from application of expected credit losses (ECL) method under IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" on financial assets due from GoP in respect of circular debt for the financial years ending on or before December 31, 2025, provided that the Company shall follow relevant requirements of IAS
39 'Financial instruments" in respect of above referred financial assets during the exemption period.
Ministry of Finance vide communication dated August 06, 2025 has advised to place the matter of the requisite exemptions before the Cabinet Committee on State Owned Entities (CCoSOEs), in terms of sub section (2) of section 3 of State Owened Enterprise (Governance and Operations) Act, 2023. Accordingly, Company has made a formal request to the Ministry of Energy (Petrolum Division) to place a summary before the CCoSOEs for grant of exemption. The matter is currently under consideration with the Ministry of Energy (Petrolum Division). Consequently, the Company has not recorded impact of aforesaid ECL on receivables in respect of circular debt in these condensed interim financial statements.
These condensed interim financial statements are un-audited and are being submitted to the members as required by section 237 of the Companies Act, 2017 (the 'Act').
These condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2025. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to and understanding of the changes in the Company's financial position and performance since the last annual audited financial statements.
Material accounting policies
The accounting policies and the methods of computation adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of preceding annual published financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2025, except for the estimation of income tax (see note 3.5).
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, 2025, 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.
Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company
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, 2026 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.
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
12
Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited
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.

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
Earnings / (loss) per share
Basic and diluted EPS (excluding net movement in RDA) Basic and diluted EPS (including net movement in RDA)
Effect on condensed interim statement of financial position
(Decrease) / Increase in:
Other receivables' as part of total assets
Regulatory deferral account balance' after sub-total of total assets
There would have been no effect on the condensed interim statement of comprehensive income, the condensed interim statement of cash flows and the condensed interim statement of changes in equity.

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 293,642.021 million (Jun 30, 2025: Rs 307,928.060 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. 133,273.075 million (June 30, 2025: Rs. 133,273.595 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.

The balance of RLNG tariff adjustment represents the aggregate difference between the margin earned by the Company from the purchase and sale of RLNG based on the notified rates and the RLNG margin guaranteed to the Company till September 30, 2025. The settlement of this amount is expected to materialize in the shape of adjustment to future sale price of RLNG by OGRA.
The balance represents the difference of average cost of RLNG and the average sale price of system gas of the diverted RLNG volumes to system gas consumers. During the period, 10,613,517 MMBTUs of RLNG were diverted and sold as system gas. The tariff adjustment receivable resulting from RLNG sold as system gas will be adjusted upon directional changes in tariff adjustments in future periods to be determined by the OGRA. Federal Government released subsidy amounting to Rs 116,057.910 million till September 30, 2025.

INCORPORATION OF TARIFF REQUIREMENTS
OGRA vide its decision dated June 21, 2018 on the Estimated Revenue Requirement ('ERR') of the Company for the year 2018-19 decided in consultation with the Federal Government and other licensees in the natural gas sector to revise the tariff regime including the rate of return which is to be based on Weighted Average Cost of Capital ('WACC') from the financial year 2018-19.
OGRA in its decision dated October 06, 2025 for Final Revenue Requirement (FRR) for FY 2024-25 has reworked the Rate of Return on Average Net Assets (ROA) for the year 2024-25 at 21.25% and onwards, as compared to the previous ROA rate of 26.22% determined for FY 2023-24.
As per the tariff regime, the Company is required to earn an annual return of not less than the WACC on the value of its average fixed assets in operation (net of deferred credit), before corporate income taxes, interest and other charges on debt and after excluding interest, dividends and other non operating income and before incorporating the effect of efficiency benchmarks prescribed by OGRA.
During the period, the Company could not meet the benchmarks prescribed by the OGRA and as a result the return for the period on the aforesaid basis works out to be 12.85% (Sep 30, 2024: 15.61%). Among other disallowances made by the OGRA, the Company has also incorporated the effect of Unaccounted for Gas (UFG), which represents the volume difference of gas purchases and sales, amounting to Rs 1,108.877 million (Sep 30, 2024: Rs 666.956 million), which is in excess of the new UFG prescribed benchmark of 0.36% (Sep 30, 2024: 0.36%) for transmission segment and 7.275% (Sep 30, 2024: 7.275%) for distribution segment.
