GHGL's profit dips, but delivers: board approves 15% final cash dividend

September 30, 2025 (MLN): Ghani Glass Limited (PSX: GHGL) released its financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, showing a decline in both top-line revenue and bottom-line profit.

The downturn was driven by reduced sales, which weighed on overall profitability despite certain positive operational measures. Alongside the results, the board approved a 15% final cash dividend for shareholders.

According to the financial statement, the company’s net revenue from contracts with customers fell by 4.20% to Rs. 45.78bn in FY25, down from Rs. 47.79bn in the previous year.

While the cost of sales also decreased by 3.89%, it was not enough to offset the drop in revenue, resulting in a 5.02% decrease in gross profit to Rs. 12.47bn.

The decline in profitability extended to the bottom line, with profit after taxation for the year dropping by 12.56% to Rs5.90bn, compared to Rs6.75bn in FY24.

The decrease was primarily driven by the reduced gross profit and a notable 8.85% increase in general and administrative expenses.

The company did, however, see a significant 48.08% reduction in finance costs, which partially mitigated the overall impact on its profit.

The decrease in net profit translated directly to a 12.59% decline in earnings per share (EPS), which fell to Rs5.90 in FY25 from Rs6.75 in the previous year.

Despite the financial setbacks, the declaration of a 15% final cash dividend demonstrates the company's commitment to delivering value to its shareholders.
