October 28, 2026 (MLN): Consolidated profit after taxation of Kohat Cement Company Limited (PSX: KOHC) rose 12.53% year-on-year to Rs3.31bn for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with Rs2.94bn in the same period last year.

Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 12.50% to Rs3.60 from Rs3.20 in the corresponding quarter last year.

The growth came from higher sales, a 40% jump in gross profit and a lower finance cost. A 36% fall in other income, a 44% rise in other expenses and a heavier tax charge partly offset the gains.

Net sales grew 15.07% to Rs11.84bn from Rs10.29bn. Cost of sales rose marginally by 2.11% to Rs6.89bn from Rs6.75bn, lifting gross profit 39.78% to Rs4.95bn from Rs3.54bn.

Selling and distribution expenses edged up 1.63% to Rs49.64m from Rs48.84m, while administrative and general expenses rose 12.73% to Rs260.21m from Rs230.82m. Other expenses grew 44.22% to Rs330.44m from Rs229.12m. The reversal of expected credit loss on trade debts fell 87.97% to Rs3.56m from Rs29.58m.

As a result, operating profit climbed 40.86% to Rs4.31bn from Rs3.06bn.

Other income declined 36.06% to Rs938.16m from Rs1.47bn, while finance cost fell 30.46% to Rs27.55m from Rs39.62m.

Profit before income tax and final tax grew 16.33% to Rs5.22bn from Rs4.49bn. Final tax declined 65.69% to Rs4.47m from Rs13.03m, taking profit before taxation up 16.57% to Rs5.21bn from Rs4.47bn.

Taxation rose 24.35% to Rs1.90bn from Rs1.53bn, which absorbed part of the gains and left profit after taxation at Rs3.31bn.
