GHNI 9MFY26 profit surges 80% on strong revenue growth

April 17, 2026 (MLN): Ghandhara Industries Limited (PSX: GHNI) delivered a strong financial performance for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as robust revenue growth and higher operational efficiency drove a significant bottom-line expansion.

The company’s net profit after tax rose 79.55% year-on-year to Rs5.27bn, compared to Rs2.93bn in the same period last year.

Earnings per share (EPS) increased sharply to Rs123.58 from Rs68.83, showing the company’s strengthened profitability base.

The company’s net sales nearly doubled, rising 95.71% to Rs42.83bn from Rs21.88bn in the corresponding period of the previous year, supported by strong demand and improved business volumes.

Despite the surge in revenue, cost of sales increased at a similar pace of 95.93% to Rs32.66bn, resulting in a nearly matched expansion in gross profit, which rose 95.01% to Rs10.17bn.

On the operating side, distribution expenses increased 55.18% to Rs1.44bn, while administrative expenses rose 27.88% to Rs451.91m. Other expenses also climbed 64.29% to Rs436.99m, reflecting higher business activity.

However, this was offset by a strong rise in other income, which more than doubled to Rs675.21m, up 106.96% year-on-year.

As a result, profit from operations surged 113.21% to Rs8.52bn, compared to Rs3.99bn last year.

Finance costs remained largely unchanged, increasing marginally by 1.43% to Rs58.45m, indicating stable borrowing costs during the period.

Supported by strong operating profitability, Ghandhara Industries posted a profit before taxation of Rs8.46bn, more than doubled (up 114.84% YoY).

The company reported a significant rise in taxation expense, which more than tripled (up 217.87%) to Rs3.19bn.

Despite the higher tax burden, strong operational performance ensured healthy bottom-line growth.

Ghandhara Industries closed 9MFY26 with a solid 79.55% increase in net profit to Rs5.27bn, driven primarily by strong revenue growth, improved operating leverage, and resilient margins.

The company’s performance highlights sustained demand strength and efficient cost management despite higher taxation pressure.
