MG News | October 26, 2026 at 10:07 AM GMT+05:00
October 26, 2026 (MLN): Big Bird Foods Limited (PSX: BBFL)
reported a 4% increase in its net profit for the first quarter ended
September 30, 2026 (1QFY27 / 3MFY27), reaching Rs344.99m compared to Rs331.95m
in the corresponding period last year.
Basic and diluted earnings per share
(EPS) for the quarter stood at Rs1.05, compared to Rs1.11 in
1QFY26.
The primary catalyst supporting the
quarter's performance was a 5% expansion in net sales alongside a 26%
reduction in finance costs.
Net sales for the quarter rose to Rs4.07bn,
up from Rs3.89bn in 1QFY26. Cost of sales increased 5% to Rs3.23bn,
allowing gross profit to expand 4% to Rs845.05m compared to Rs813.76m in
the prior-year period.
On the operational front, operating
expenses expanded to support marketing reach and retail distribution.
Distribution and selling expenses rose
37% to Rs159.77m, administration expenses increased 9% to Rs79.87m,
and other operating expenses stood at Rs39.57m.
Supported by a 34% increase in
"other income" (Rs32.44m up from Rs24.19m), profit from
operations settled at Rs598.28m (down 2% from Rs609.07m).
Below the operating line, BBFL gained
substantial debt-servicing relief as finance costs fell 26% to Rs64.34m
(down from Rs87.31m in 1QFY26). This borrowing cost reduction pushed profit
before income tax up 2% to Rs533.93m.
The company recorded a corporate
taxation charge of Rs188.94m for the quarter (down slightly from
Rs189.81m in 1QFY26).
Backed by steady sales expansion and
deleveraging savings, Big Bird Foods Limited securely closed the three-month
period with its net profit reaching Rs344.99m.
