Air Link achieves profit growth despite revenue decline
MG News | September 29, 2025 at 01:02 PM GMT+05:00
September 29, 2025 (MLN): Air Link Communication Limited (PSX: AIRLINK) has concluded its fiscal year with a remarkable performance, showcasing a period of enhanced profitability and strategic cost management.
The company's latest financial results highlight a
significant improvement in its financial health, delivering a strong
performance that imphasizes its solid financial position despite a challenging
revenue environment.
According to the financial data, AIRLINK's revenue from
contracts with customers saw a contraction of 19.55%, reaching Rs104.38bn in
FY25, down from Rs129.74bn in FY24.
This decrease, however, was accompanied by a steeper
decline in the cost of revenue, which fell by 22.25%, a testament to the
company's focus on operational efficiency.
This strategic management led to a significant increase
in profitability. The company's gross profit grew by an impressive 13.94% to
Rs11.01bn.
A key factor in this performance was the expansion of the
gross profit margin, which improved to 10.55% in FY25 from 7.45% in FY24, showing
the company's ability to control its core costs more effectively than the
decline in its sales.
The company's profit for the year also saw a notable jump
of 2.65%, climbing to Rs4.75bn from Rs4.63bn.
This strong bottom line growth was achieved despite a
proportional increase in operational expenses and finance costs, which grew by
25.31% and 32.62% respectively.
This demonstrates AIRLINK's successful strategy to
leverage cost efficiencies and a stronger gross margin to deliver overall
profit growth.
Furthermore, the net profit margin expanded to 4.55% in
FY25 from 3.56% in FY24, reinforcing the positive impact of the company's
strategic financial management.
The company's earnings per share (EPS) also saw a
commendable increase of 2.65%, rising to Rs12.01 in FY25 from Rs11.70 in the
previous year.
This strong performance, in the face of a contracting
top-line and rising operational costs, emphasizes AIRLINK’s commitment to
delivering value to its shareholders through enhanced profitability and a focus
on core business efficiency.
