MG News | October 30, 2026 at 03:24 PM GMT+05:00
October 30, 2026 (MLN): Roshan Packages Limited (PSX: RPL) slipped into the red for
the first quarter ended September 30, 2026 (1QFY27 / 3MFY27), posting a
condensed consolidated net loss of Rs1.79m compared to a net profit of Rs30.29m
in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
Reflecting the bottom-line downturn,
basic and diluted loss per share for the three-month period stood at RS0.01,
swinging from earnings per share of Rs0.21 recorded in 3MFY26.
Gross revenue from contracts with
customers declined 11% to Rs3.20bn compared to Rs3.59bn in 3MFY26.
After accounting for sales tax of
Rs494.59m (down 10% from Rs546.70m), net revenue fell 11% to Rs2.70bn against
Rs3.04bn in the comparative quarter. However, a 13% reduction in the cost of
revenue to Rs2.46bn (down from Rs2.85bn) allowed gross profit to expand 21% to
Rs239.79m compared to Rs197.91m in 3MFY26.
Consequently, the company's gross
profit margin improved to 8.88% from 6.50% in the prior-year period.
On the operational side, overheads
expanded significantly, eroding gross margin gains. Administrative expenses
grew 35% to Rs112.28m (up from Rs82.88m) and selling and distribution expenses
rose 40% to Rs35.15m from Rs25.03m, while other operating expenses decreased
29% to Rs2.54m.
Total operating overheads rose 35% to
Rs149.97m against Rs111.49m, restricting operating profit growth to 4% at
Rs89.82m compared to Rs86.42m in 3MFY26.
Below the operating line,
profitability was severely strained by a 30% increase in finance costs to
Rs75.05m (up from Rs57.68m) and a 53% drop in other income to Rs6.15m from
Rs12.96m.
Other expenses fell 96% to Rs113,124.
Profit before taxation dropped 41% to Rs10.45m compared to Rs17.75m in 3MFY26
after accounting for minimum tax differential charges of Rs10.35m.
Following a taxation charge of
Rs12.24m (swinging from a tax credit/reversal of Rs12.53m in 3MFY26), Roshan
Packages Limited concluded the first quarter with a net loss of Rs1.79m.
