September 26, 2025 (MLN): Pioneer Cement Limited (PSX: PIOC) has capped off a robust fiscal year with a final cash dividend declaration, marking a period of continued profitability and strategic financial management.

The company, which saw a significant improvement in its financial health throughout the year, has declared a final cash dividend of Rs5 per share, which is a 50% payout.

This final dividend comes in addition to the interim dividend of Rs5 per share (50%) already paid during the fiscal year, bringing the total dividend for FY25 to Rs10 per share (100%). The company has not announced any bonus or right shares.

The dividend disclosure follows a year of strong financial results, driven by a focus on operational efficiency and a favorable market strategy.

According to financial data, Pioneer Cement has successfully maintained and improved its profitability.

The company's net profit margin stood at an impressive 15.20% in the third quarter of FY25, a notable increase from 14.60% in the previous fiscal year (FY24) and 7.20% in FY23.

This margin expansion is attributed to a strategic shift towards high-retention markets and a disciplined approach to cost-cutting, including a move to cheaper local coal and the use of captive power generation.

The company's strong performance and attractive dividend payout underscore its solid financial position and commitment to delivering value to shareholders.
