The company’s top-line revenue decreased by 37.62% YoY to Rs3.67bn compared to Rs5.04bn in SPLY, mainly due to lower sales volume.

 The gross margins deteriorated compared to last year, reflecting increased cost pressures.

The company’s finance costs fell by 70.05% YoY, standing at Rs156.29mn compared to Rs265.78mn in SPLY, likely due to lower debt financing.
