FCCL profit soars 62% to Rs13bn

August 11, 2025 (MLN): Fauji Cement Company Limited (FCCL) has reported a robust Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs13.3 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, marking a 62% surge from Rs8.2bn in FY24.

The strong bottom-line growth reflects improved margins, higher sales volumes, and disciplined financial management.

FCCL’s net revenue rose to Rs88.96bn, up 11% from Rs80.03bn last year, driven by increased cement dispatches and better pricing.

Dispatches reached 5.4 million tons, compared to 5.1 million tons in FY24, reflecting a 6% YoY growth.

The company’s gross profit jumped to Rs31.57bn, up from Rs25.68bn, as gross margins improved to 35% from 32%.

This margin expansion was supported by cost optimization initiatives, including increased use of local coal and alternative fuels, in-house production of polypropylene (PP) bags, enhanced in-house power generation and a significant reduction in interest rates, which lowered financial charges

Operating profit stood at Rs26.2bn, while net finance cost dropped 10% to Rs4.7bn, further boosting profitability.

In a key strategic move, the Board approved the expansion of the PP Bags Manufacturing Plant at Hattar, aiming to meet 100% of FCCL’s internal packaging requirements. The initiative is expected to enhance supply chain control and reduce external dependency.

The Board also recommended a final cash dividend of Rs 1.25 per share (12.5%) for FY25.

No bonus or right shares were announced.
