November 02, 2026 (MLN): Consolidated profit after taxation of Supernet Technologies Limited (PSX: STL) rose 4.81% year-on-year to Rs130.61m for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared with Rs124.61m in the same period last year.

Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 1.37% to Rs0.74 from Rs0.73 in the corresponding quarter last year.

The growth came from an 87.23% cut in finance costs, a slight rise in gross profit and a lower levy. Higher administrative and distribution costs, a decline in operating profit and a heavier tax charge partly offset the gains.

Net revenue fell 4.56% to Rs1.79bn from Rs1.87bn. Cost of revenue declined faster, by 6.84%, to Rs1.28bn from Rs1.38bn, which lifted gross profit 1.72% to Rs507.40m from Rs498.83m.

Administrative and other expenses increased 20.85% to Rs190.61m from Rs157.72m, while distribution costs rose 15.70% to Rs72.55m from Rs62.70m.

The loss allowance for expected credit losses fell 20.32% to Rs14.55m from Rs18.26m, and net other expenses declined 9.91% to Rs3.37m from Rs3.75m. Total expenses grew 15.94% to Rs281.08m from Rs242.42m.

As a result, operating profit fell 11.74% to Rs226.32m from Rs256.41m.

Finance costs plunged 87.23% to Rs5.38m from Rs42.13m, providing significant relief.

Profit before taxation and levy grew 3.11% to Rs220.94m from Rs214.29m. Levy fell 39.97% to Rs24.82m from Rs41.35m, taking profit before taxation up 13.41% to Rs196.12m from Rs172.94m.

Taxation rose 35.56% to Rs65.51m from Rs48.33m, which absorbed part of the gains and left profit after taxation at Rs130.61m.
