Showing this healthy bottom-line growth, the company's earnings per share (EPS) expanded to Rs14.77 from Rs12.24 in FY25.

The top-line performance was encouraging, with revenue growing 12% year-on-year to Rs143.46bn from Rs128.03bn in the prior year.

Cost of sales rose at a slower pace of 10% to Rs101.21bn, allowing gross profit to expand by a stronger 17% to Rs42.25bn from Rs35.97bn showing improved margin management and a favorable cost environment.

On the expenditure side, distribution cost was trimmed by 18% to Rs5.17bn, showing meaningful efficiency gains on the selling front. Administrative expenses, however, rose sharply by 57% to Rs6.74bn, partially offsetting the distribution cost savings.

Other expenses declined 21% to Rs1.75bn. In aggregate, the operating expenditure subtotal edged up 7% to Rs13.66bn, and operating profit surged 23% to Rs28.59bn from Rs23.18bn.

Other income remained broadly stable, rising just 2% to Rs17.76bn from Rs17.47bn. The share of net loss from an associate accounted for using the equity method narrowed by 32% to Rs516.95m from Rs761.07m, providing a modest positive contribution.

These combined to lift profit from operations 15% to Rs45.84bn from Rs39.89bn.

Below the operating line, finance cost rose 12% to Rs7.85bn from Rs7.02bn, adding pressure on the pre-tax line. Profit before levy and taxation grew 16% to Rs37.98bn.

The levy charge, however, nearly doubled, rising 96% to Rs780.59m from Rs398.82m, moderating profit before taxation growth to 15% at Rs37.20bn from Rs32.48bn.

Taxation increased at a more contained pace of 6% to Rs10.32bn from Rs9.70bn a proportionally smaller rise than pre-tax profit growth providing an additional tailwind that amplified the bottom-line result and delivered the 18% increase in profit after taxation.
