DIRECTORS' REVIEWFOR THE HALF YEAR PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025
Financial Overview
The Board of Directors of SSGC is pleased to present the interim financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2025.
During the first half of FY 2025-26, SSGC maintained the already achieved improvement in operational performance and financial recovery. The Key highlight was the Profit despite strict challenges due to drastic reduction in bulk business (Captive Power Plants) and additional supplies to Domestic Sector in Balochistan due to winter season, reflecting commitment to operational discipline and business ethics. The Company reported a Profit after Tax of Rs. 290 million and Earnings per Share of Rs. 0.33.
Financial Highlights
December 2025 | December 2024 | Variation | |
(Rupees in Million) | |||
Profit before Taxation | 1,241 | 6,949 | (5,708) |
Taxation & Levy | (951) | (261) | (690) |
Profit after Taxation & Levy | 290 | 6,688 | (6,398) |
Earnings per share (Rs.) | 0.33 | 7.59 | (7.26) |
Despite challenging operating environment, SSGC's strategic focus on enhancing operational efficiencies has led to maintain UFG numbers during the period. . Over the period from FY 2018-19 to FY 2024-25, SSGC achieved a cumulative reduction of approximately 42 BCF in UFG, demonstrating consistent efforts to address operational challenges.
During the period Jul-Dec 2025, despite massive reduction in gas sales to Bulk and Industrial sectors primarily due to the imposition of Off-grid Levy on Captive Power Plants (CPPs) and related reduced demand, the Company managed to maintain the volumetric unaccounted-for-Gas (UFG) at par comparing to corresponding period last year. Volumetric UFG stood at 14.14 BCF during the instant period compared to 14.09 BCF in Jul-Dec 2024.
However, owing to substantial depletion in indigenous natural gas supplies resulted in an approximate 10 BCF reduction in total gas purchases, and the percentage UFG maintained at 12.27%, compared to 11.30% in the same period last year. This minor increase is predominantly attributable to a reduced gas input base (denominator effect) rather than any deterioration in UFG volumes or system efficiency.
Despite above briefed circumstances, management remains fully committed to executing targeted reduction strategies to close the financial year with net UFG savings across both volumetric and percentage metrics.
Recognizing the critical impact of UFG on overall profitability, the Board of Directors, in close coordination with management, continues to support the UFG related initiatives to achieve sustainable, long-term loss reductions. Targeted measures are being pursued to curtail UFG levels throughout the upcoming quarters of FY 2025-26.
Profitability and Financial Adjustments
SSGC's profitability is primarily derived from the Guaranteed Return Formula prescribed by OGRA, which is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). However, adjustments related to efficiency benchmarks, including UFG, Human Resource Benchmark Costs, and Provision for Doubtful Debts, impact the bottom line.
The Weighted Average Cost of Gas (WACOG), largely based on USD, has been a significant factor in the Company's financial challenges. During the half year, the WACOG increased by 3.96%, from Rs. 1,107.81 per MCF to Rs. 1,151.64 per MCF, resulting in incremental UFG disallowance of Rs. 234 million.
In line with OGRA's determination for FY 2024-25 issued on October 06, 2025, UFG disallowance absorbed in this quarter amounted to Rs. 6,164 million (December 2024: Rs. 5,251 million). Finance cost for the period was Rs. 8,055 million (December 2024: Rs. 6,713 million).
Operational Enhancements
SSGC's maintained its steadfast commitment to deliver optimum gas supplies, improved customers satisfaction, and minimizing UFG losses through the following measures:
SSGC has consistently enhanced its organizational structure by implementing measures such as upskilling, training, and optimizing resource utilization. The Small Business Unit (SBU) model, already operational in Karachi and Balochistan, has now been expanded across the franchise area.
The gas supplies to JJVL plant started in November 2025.
Major Projects and Future Outlook
SSGC remained committed for achieving operational and financial sustainability. Key projects and initiatives include:
Rehabilitation: An annual target of 2,500 km has been set for FY 2025-26, with average monthly progress exceeding 200 km under close monitoring of rehabilitation and reinforcement projects. During the July-December 2025, approximately 1,250 kms of the distribution network has been rehabilitated, covering major areas including Malir, North Karachi, North Nazimabad, FB Area, and various locations in Upper Sindh. In addition, decommissioning of old rehabilitated networks has been completed in Garden, North Nazimabad, Lyari, and North Karachi, while work in Malir is currently in progress.
Gas Theft: Approximately 26,000 theft connections have been disconnected, resulting in a cumulative gas volume claim of 3,100 MMCF on Supply Mains. In addition, 50,505 locations have been disconnected involving direct theft.
Pressure Management and Customer Service: Pressure management has been significantly improved through network segmentation and GIS visibility. Customer service standards have also been enhanced, with 90 percent of low-pressure complaints resolved during the Jul-Dec of FY 2025.
Technology and Innovation: SSGC is continuously exploring new initiatives in detecting gas leakages with more precision and accuracy and locating underground buried synthetic/ PE pipelines. The commitments have been made for the Mobile Gas Leak Detection system with ethane and methane selectivity and synthetic pipeline locators, along with the TBS and SMS Automation and Control System (Phase II) covering 47 Town Border Stations and 16 Sales Meter Stations.
Billing Improvements: Surveys of suspected gas meters have been conducted to identify faulty Meters and enhance domestic sales. In addition, technology-based billing mobile dashboards have been developed to monitor live meter readings and analyze billing data, theft detection and meter readers performance enabling timely identification and resolution of shortcomings.
Acknowledgements
The Board extends its gratitude to the shareholders, valued customers, and employees for their unwavering support and dedication. We also acknowledge the guidance and assistance provided by the Government of Pakistan, the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division), and OGRA in enabling the Company to achieve its objectives.
On behalf of the Board.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF SUI SOUTHERN GAS COMPANY LIMITED REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONDENSED UNCONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed unconsolidated interim statement of financial position of SUI SOUTHERN GAS COMPANY LIMITED ("the Company") as at December 31, 2025 and the related condensed unconsolidated interim statement of profit or loss, condensed unconsolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, condensed unconsolidated interim statement of changes in equity, and condensed unconsolidated interim statement of cash flows, and notes to the condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements for the half year then ended (here-in-after referred as the "condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements based on our review.
Scope of Review
Except as explained in the following paragraph, 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 information 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.
Basis for Qualified Conclusion
As disclosed in notes 7.1 and 7.2 to these condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements, trade debts include receivables of Rs. 26,289 million and Rs. 21,770 million from K-Electric Limited (KE) and Pakistan Steel Mills Corporation (Private) Limited (PSML), respectively. Significant portion of such receivables include overdue amounts, which have been considered good by management and classified as current assets in the condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements. Further, KE and PSML have disputed the Late Payment Surcharge (LPS) on their respective outstanding balances, as disclosed in the notes to the condensed unconsolidated interim financial statement as unrecognized LPS. As a result, management has decided to recognize LPS from these entities on a receipt basis, effective July 01, 2012.
Due to the adverse operational and financial conditions of PSML and disputes with KE and PSML with the Company on LPS, and large accumulation of their respective overdue amounts, we were unable to determine the extent to which the total amounts due from KE and PSML were likely to be recovered including the timeframe over which such recovery will be made.
As disclosed in note 3.2 to the condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements, the Company was exempt to comply with the requirements of IFRS 14- Regulatory Deferral Accounts in relation to the preparation of the financial statements till June 30, 2024 by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) vide its letter SMD/PRDD/Comp/(4)/2021/168 dated December 03, 2024. The Company has taken up the matter with concerned authorities to seek further exemption from the applicability of the aforesaid IFRS vide its letter MD/MoE/12/2025 dated June 17, 2025. In the absence of the related exemption for the current reporting period, the Company has not complied with the requirements of IFRS 14 including necessary accounting adjustments, presentation and related disclosure requirements necessary to be incorporated in these condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements. Had the Company incorporated the consequential accounting effects including related disclosures, the reported balances of the Tariff adjustment in other receivable and trade and other payable (note 9.1 and 13.3), Tariff adjustment amount in net revenue (note 17) and Earnings per share (note 23) would have required adjustments, effect of which remains indeterminable.
Qualified Conclusion
Except for the adjustments, to the condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements that we might have become aware of had it not been for the situation described above, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements as at and for the half year ended December 31, 2025 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following:
note 16.1 to the condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements which inter alia describe that the Company is subject to various material litigations and claims pending adjudication in different courts and forums. The outcome of these cases is uncertain and beyond management's control;
note 13.2 to the condensed unconsolidated interim financial statements which describe that the Company has not recognized the accrued markup up to December 31, 2025 amounting to Rs. 428,977 million relating to Government Controlled E&P Companies based on Government advice and a legal opinion.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of the above stated matters.
Other Matter
Pursuant to the requirement of Section 237 (1) (b) of the Companies Act, 2017, only cumulative figures for the six-month, 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 condensed unconsolidated interim statement of profit or loss and condensed unconsolidated interim statement of comprehensive income for the three months period ended December 31, 2025 have not been reviewed by us.
The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor's review report is Muhammad Nadeem.

It includes receivable from K-Electric Limited (KE) related to the sale of indigenous gas amounting to Rs. 26,289 million being a long outstanding balance (June 2025: Rs. 26,289 million), excluding Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (GIDC).
As KE has been continuously defaulting and not making principal as well as LPS payment, the Company filed a suit against KE in the Honourable High Court of Sindh (HCS) in November 2012, for recovery of Rs. 55,705 million including principal outstanding amounting to Rs. 45,705 million on account of the supply of gas and Rs. 10,000 million on account of LPS. In addition, KE has also filed a case against the Company in the HCS for recovery of damages/losses of Rs. 61,614 million as KE claimed that the Company had not supplied the committed quantity of natural gas to KE.
The above suit has been filed based as per the agreement dated June 30, 2009 which was entered between the Company and KE for making outstanding payment in 18 installments. The Company was entitled to charge LPS on outstanding principal amount at rate highest of:
OD rate being paid by the Company; or
rate at which interest is payable on gas producer bills.
Despite the agreement, KE continuously defaulted on installment payments, and the Company therefore charged LPS up to June 2016. However, in line with opinions from firms of Chartered Accountants, the management decided to recognize LPS on a receipt basis effective from July 1, 2012, and accordingly reversed the LPS income that had been recognized from June 30, 2012 onwards.
However, the Company maintains a memorandum records which indicate an aggregate LPS income of Rs. 213,984 million (June 2025: Rs.202,744 million) including LPS income for the period ended December 31, 2025 of Rs. 11,240 million (June 2025: Rs. 24,048 million) which has not been recognized in these unconsolidated financial statements. As of the reporting date, the aggregate claim on account of disputed balances works out to be Rs. 243,636 million (including GIDC of Rs. 3,363 million).
In view of the legal counsel of the Company, the management considers outstanding balance as good and recoverable. The legal counsel also viewed that the Company has a valid claim over LPS on outstanding balance, but considering that the matter is in dispute, as discussed above, the Company has decided to recognize LPS from KE when either such claimed amounts are recovered or when these are decreed and their recovery is assured.
In March, 2014, the Company signed a payment plan with KE in order to streamline the payment modalities in relation to current monthly bills and old outstanding principal amount, in which the issue of LPS was not addressed. The plan expired on March 31, 2015, and first addendum was included to the original payment plan effective from April 01, 2015 to March 31, 2016. Upon expiry, the second addendum was included to the original payment plan on June 18, 2016 effective from April 01, 2016 to March 31, 2017. Currently, management is in the process of negotiating a payment plan, which has not been finalized till the filing of these unconsolidated financial statements but the supply of gas and payment is continuing as per old plan.
In June 2022, a Task Force was constituted by the then Prime Minister to resolve issues/disputes related to KE. During their meetings, it was decided to enter into a multi-party Mediation Agreement in order to resolve KE's receivables and payables issues between all the stakeholders. Accordingly, after deliberations, a Mediation Agreement has been executed between the Stakeholders. The Federal Cabinet also ratified the decision and the Mediation Agreement was also cleared by Law & Justice Division.
The parties then submitted their respective claims with the Mediator. First mediation meeting was held in May 2024 which was attended by all the parties except Karachi Water Sewerage Board which refused to join the mediation process and did not attend the proceedings. During the course of second meeting which was held on August 15, 2024, the counsel for Central Power Purchasing Authority (CPPA-G), National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) and Government of Pakistan informed the Mediator that the time period provided in the Mediation Agreement for rendering an opinion by the Mediator has lapsed (which was sixty (60) days from the date of appointment of Mediator, extendable by a further thirty (30) days).
As a result, Ministry of Energy (MoE) vide letter dated September 18, 2024, shared a draft summary to be moved by the Power Division for the consideration and approval of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) regarding extension on the period of determination by the Mediator for a further period of sixty (60) days. In this respect, the Company shared its views / comments on the draft ECC summary, that any further extensions can be done with mutual consent by all the parties.
In view of the above, ECC vide its decision dated February 03, 2025 has approved the summary / proposal of Power Division to amend the Mediation Agreement to provide for a further period of ninety (90) days from the date of approval for concluding the Mediation process.
Subsequently, the Mediator held several meetings with the stakeholders; however, the Mediator vide its letter dated June 05, 2025 submitted that the mediation proceedings were concluded on the note that a mutually acceptable agreement in a collaborative and consensual manner is not possible. As such the mediation was formally closed without settlement.
It includes receivables from Pakistan Steel Mills Corporation Limited (PSML) amounting to Rs. 21,770 million (excluding GIDC of Rs. 2,664 million) (June, 2025: Rs. 21,770 million) which includes a LPS of Rs. 2,051 million (June, 2025: Rs. 2,051 million) receivable against sale of indigenous gas. This includes an overdue amount of Rs. 21,770 million (June, 2025: Rs. 21,770 million) excluding GIDC.
The PSML has been defaulting and not making payments of principal as well as LPS, therefore Company charged LPS up to June 2016. However, in line with opinions from firms of Chartered Accountants, the management decided to recognize LPS on a receipt basis effective from July 1, 2012, and accordingly reversed the LPS income that had been recognized from June 30, 2012 onwards.
However, the Company maintains a memorandum account showing aggregate LPS income of Rs. 75,231 million (June 2025: Rs. 75,231 million) which has not been recognized in the unconsolidated financial statements. However in July 2024, gas supply to PSML has been disconnected, therefore, no LPS recorded in the memorandum account after July 2024. The aggregate legal claim of Rs. 99,665 million including Rs. 2,664 million GIDC.
The Company filed a suit in the HCS in April 2016, for recovery of its outstanding amount of gas bills and LPS aggregate claim amounting to Rs. 41,354 million up to February 2016.
On April, 2016, the HCS passed an order restraining PSML from creating any third party interest in relation to its assets including but not limited to immovable assets owned by it upto the extent of this amount.
PSML has filed its counter claim approximately of Rs. 38,660 million on account of losses due to low gas pressure provided to PSML from March 2015 to December 2016. Legal counsel of the Company is of the view that due to vagaries of litigation nothing could be expressed with any degree of certainty in the contested matters.
Currently, PSML's financial position is adverse, and has no capacity to repay its obligations on its own, therefore, the entire amount as appeared in books of account was claimed from OGRA in the determination of Final Revenue Requirement (FRR) FY 2024-25 of the Company. OGRA in its decision directed the Company to take up the matter of PSML's outstanding balances with the Federal Government (FG) for a comprehensive resolution.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company has receivable balance of Rs. 4,284 million (June 30, 2025: Rs. 4,284 million) which stands outstanding from May 2020 till date.
OGRA vide its decision dated November 20, 2018, had directed that the stock of RLNG withheld by the Company to be purchased from Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL) will be calculated based on the historical weighted average cost price in Pakistani Rupees. Consequently, the Company has recorded sales as per the relevant applicable OGRA notified rates. The Tariff differential represents gain owing to the difference between the current and historical rates, which were passed on to the SNGPL up to May 2020.
The Company is in the process of reconciling this disputed amount and is hopeful that it will be sorted out in due course.
This represents advance paid to SNGPL against Cost of Gas Equalization to be adjusted against any shortfall, if any, in Final Revenue Requirement (FRR) determined by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA). The Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) has directed the Company and SNGPL to enter into a 'Cost of Gas Equalization Agreement' to facilitate the adjustments arising out of FRR. The execution of agreement is currently pending between both parties.
This amount comprises of receivable in respect of royalty income & fuel charges, sale of natural gas liquids, Federal Excise Duty (FED), Sindh Sales Tax (SST) on franchise services and receivable from JJVL at the rate of ad-hoc 57% value of LPG / NGL extraction as per the agreement signed between the Company and JJVL pursuant to Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) order dated December 04, 2018 amounting to Rs. 19 million (June 2025: Rs. 19 million), Rs. 108 million (June 2025:
Rs. 108 million), Rs. 1,070 million (June 2025: Rs. 1,070 million), Rs. 646 million (June
2025: Rs. 646 million), Rs. nil (June 2025: Rs. 420 million) respectively. Although, management is confident that this amount is fully recoverable, being prudent provision against the same has already been recorded in these unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements.
During FY 2024-25, the matter was taken up by Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) for the resumption of gas supplies to JJVL to meet the national objective of enhancing domestic production and reducing reliance on imported LPG. Several meetings were held in this respect at various SIFC committees.
After detailed deliberations and a series of meetings, the final draft agreement has been agreed and initialed by both the parties on June 17, 2025. The initialed agreement had been placed before SIFC-Executive Committee (SIFC-EC) in its meeting dated June 18, 2025 in which it accorded approval of the agreement.
Subsequently, in view of the SIFC-EC approval, the initialed agreement has also been approved by the Board. Subsequently, both the parties signed the agreement on July 28, 2025 for its formal execution. Consequently,during the period, Rs 420 million in respect of revenue sharing agreement has been received.
Receivable in respect of revenue sharing agreement as per SIFC decision dated 18 June 2025 for LPG, NGL, Internal Consumption (power gen & compressor), LPS receivable against LPG and LPS receivable against NGL amounts to Rs. 319 million, Rs. 101 million, Rs. 84 million, Rs. 0.215 million and Rs. Nil respectively.
This represents receivable balance from Pakistan Post Office against gas bills collected from January 2022 to March 2022 and deposited in Government Treasury. The management is making efforts to recover the amount.
This represents sales tax refunds that arose due to the excess of average purchase cost over average sales price, uniform purchase price adjustment with SNGPL and zero rating of sales tax on gas sales for various industries. These refunds are processed through FBR's Sales Tax Automated Refund Repository (STARR) system. Due to several snags in the functioning of STARR, the Commissioner has deferred processing of tax refunds and has also deferred the payments of already processed refunds. The deferred refunds are issued to the Company on the basis of manual verification of documents (third-party vendor sales tax returns) by tax authorities.
This represents receivable from Mari Gas Company Limited, Spud Energy Pty Limited, PKP Exploration Limited and Government Holdings (Private) Limited (referred as BJV) in respect of Zarghun gas transmission pipeline under pipeline contribution agreement. The receivable has been recognised using discounted cash flow technique.
This includes a balance of Rs. 8.9 million (June 2025: Rs. 3 million) from SSGC Alternate Energy (Private) Limited, a related party, which is repayable on demand.

This includes Rs. 712,992 million (June 2025: Rs. 705,646 million) payable to Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL), Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) and Government Holdings (Private) Limited (GHPL) in respect of gas purchases.
With effect from July 01, 2012, the Company has been accounting for LPS income from KE and PSML on receipt basis based on the opinions obtained from the firms of Chartered Accountants for compliance with then applicable International Accounting Standards 18 "Revenue". On adoption of IFRS15 "Revenue from contract with customers'' which supersedes IAS 18, the Company has obtained an updated opinion from the firm of Chartered Accountants to recognise LPS income from KE and PSML on a receipt basis. However, the Company continued recognition of the LPS expense payable on outstanding bills of the Government Controlled E&P Companies i.e. OGDCL, PPL, and GHPL to comply with the requirements of the accounting standards, as such standards do not allow the Company to offset its LPS income against the markup expense in absence of legal right to set off, despite the fact that the Company has never paid such LPS to Government Controlled E&P companies. Therefore, management approached the ministry through its letter dated September 01, 2016, to allow similar treatment of its LPS payable to Government Controlled E & P Companies due to special and unusual circumstances arising from the circular debt. Management's request was also based on, besides the unique situation of circular debt, past settlement record on a net basis which was approved by the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) in 2001, and the fact that OGDCL, PPL, and GHPL are not recording any such LPS income in their financial statements and assert that such income will be recorded only when the same is received.
In response to the Company's above request, the MP & NR vide their letter dated January 03, 2017 has supported the contention of the Company that it will not recognize LPS expense payable to the Government Controlled E&P Companies (OGDCL, PPL and GHPL), effective from July 01, 2012, till the time Company receives payment for LPS income from KE and PSML and it would be settled simultaneously subject to fulfilment of all the codal formalities.
In financial year 2024, the Company has reversed the accrued LPS of Rs. 15,832 million payable to the OGDCL, PPL and GHPL, booked prior to July 01, 2012 in line with the clarification obtained from Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) vide its letter dated April 28, 2025 to record the same on actual settlement basis.
Based on the aforesaid letters and legal opinion obtained by the Company, the aggregate unrecognized accrued markup up is Rs. 428,977 million (June 2025: Rs. 370,655 million).
