MG News | November 02, 2026 at 10:01 AM GMT+05:00
November 02, 2026 (MLN): Consolidated profit for the period of Citi Pharma Limited (PSX: CPHL) rose 22.14% year-on-year to Rs248.79m for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared with Rs203.69m in the same period last year.
Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 22.47%
to Rs1.09 from Rs0.89 in the corresponding quarter last year.
The growth came from a 29.92% rise in gross profit and a
16.93% cut in financial charges. Higher marketing and distribution expenses,
lower other income and a heavier tax charge partly offset the gains.
Net sales grew 4.28% to Rs3.51bn from Rs3.37bn. Cost of
sales edged down 0.39% to Rs2.84bn from Rs2.85bn, which lifted gross profit
29.92% to Rs674.26m from Rs518.97m.
Administrative and general expenses increased 10.20% to
Rs55.31m from Rs50.19m, while marketing and distribution expenses more than
doubled, up 122.58% to Rs107.79m from Rs48.43m.
As a result, operating profit climbed 21.60% to Rs511.16m
from Rs420.36m.
Financial charges fell 16.93% to Rs100.67m from Rs121.19m,
providing relief. Other income declined 45.14% to Rs15.78m from Rs28.77m, while
other expenses rose 28.96% to Rs33.08m from Rs25.65m.
Profit before income taxes and final taxes, equal to profit
before income tax, grew 30.08% to Rs393.19m from Rs302.28m.
Income tax rose 46.47% to Rs144.40m from Rs98.59m, which
absorbed part of the gains and left profit for the period at Rs248.79m.
