Fauji Cement anchors stability in 1QFY25

October 27, 2025 (MLN): Fauji Cement Company Limited (PSX: FCCL) has shared its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, posting a net profit of Rs3.29bn, up 1.2% from Rs3.25bn in the same period last year.

The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of Rs1.34, compared to Rs1.32 in the corresponding quarter of FY2024.

Revenue for the quarter increased 2% YoY to Rs23.42bn, supported by stable sales volumes despite softer prices.

However, the gross profit declined 6.4% to Rs7.38bn as the gross profit margin eased to 32%, compared to 34% in the same period last year.

The decline in profitability was primarily attributable to lower sales prices, though it was partially offset by cost optimization measures implemented by management.

These included enhanced usage of local coal and alternative fuels, increased solar power generation, self-production of polypropylene (PP) bags, and optimization of fixed costs, all of which contributed to maintaining operational efficiency.

Operating profit stood at Rs5.96bn, down 9.5% from last year, while finance costs dropped 32.2% to Rs1.14bn, reflecting improved financial management and a relatively stable interest rate environment. Profit before taxation rose slightly by 1.1% to Rs5.29bn, while taxation came in at Rs2bn.
