The earnings per share (EPS) for the period stood at Rs2.42, up from Rs1.87 in 2023, reflecting enhanced shareholder value.

Operating profit more than doubled, posting an impressive 126% increase to Rs757.5mn, up from Rs335.5mn in the previous year.

However, other income declined significantly by 76%, totaling Rs1mn.

Finance costs saw a 7% rise to Rs35mn, but this was offset by the strong overall financial performance.
