April 30, 2025 (MLN): Citi Pharma Ltd. (PSX: CPHL) reported a net profit of Rs678.84 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, nearly unchanged from Rs681.40m in SPLY, reflecting a flat performance despite a decline in pre-tax earnings.

Earnings per share stood at Rs2.97, slightly down from Rs2.98 a year ago.

The company’s net sales rose 6% to Rs10.10 billion from Rs9.54bn, driven by increased demand and operational scale.

Cost of sales grew proportionately by 6% to Rs8.64bn, keeping gross profit growth at 8%, amounting to Rs1.46bn.

However, operating profit also rose 8% to Rs1.17bn despite higher selling expenses, which surged 19% to Rs119.70m.

Citi Pharma’s financial cost increased 15% to Rs231.51m, while other income sharply declined by 47% to Rs165.82m, reducing support to the bottom line. As a result, profit before income taxes and final tax fell by 8% to Rs1.03bn.

Taxation decreased by 20% year-on-year to Rs349.84m, helping offset some of the pressure on net profit.
