The company’s revenue jumped by 44.5% to Rs4.21 billion, up from Rs2.91bn in the corresponding period last year, driven by robust sales performance.

Administrative expenses grew by 31.4% to Rs42.6m, while selling and distribution expenses surged by nearly 80% to Rs1.08bn, pointing to increased commercial and outreach efforts.

Despite a 7.25% rise in finance costs to Rs122.6m, profit before income tax edged up by 8.5% to Rs522.1m from Rs481.2mn a year ago.
The income tax expense climbed by 20.7% to Rs201.8m, limiting the net profit growth over the period.
