Going further by the results, the company saw its cost of sales rise 133.1% YoY which was less than proportionate to sales increase, which improved the gross profit by 45.0% YoY to Rs4.61bn in 2024.

The gross margins, however, worsened to 2.83% as compared to 4.48% in SPLY.

During the period under review, other income deflated by 63.9% YoY to stand at Rs172.97m in 2024 as compared to Rs479.66m in SPLY.

The company’s finance cost went up by 31.0% YoY and stood at Rs11.01bn as compared to Rs8.41bn in SPLY, mainly due to higher interest rates.

On the tax front, the company paid a higher tax worth Rs654.47m against the Rs381.14m paid in the corresponding period of last year, depicting a rise of 71.7% YoY.
