April 23, 2025 (MLN): Ismail Industries Limited (PSX: ISIL) has posted a profit after tax of Rs2.4 billion for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2025, down significantly by 52.35% compared to Rs5.04bn in the same period last year.

Despite registering a modest 2.35% increase in net sales, which stood at Rs94.25bn, up from Rs92.09bn in the corresponding period of 2024, the company faced considerable pressure on its profitability.

Gross profit declined by 3.79% to Rs18.2bn, primarily due to a 3.93% increase in the cost of sales.

The bottom line was further impacted by a sharp rise in operating expenses.

Selling and distribution expenses surged 25.08% to Rs7.87bn, while administrative expenses jumped 28.92% to Rs1.56bn.

Consequently, the company’s operating profit declined by 23.17% year-on-year to Rs8.77bn.

Other income also witnessed a downturn, falling by 22.93% to Rs919 million, while finance cost saw a slight decrease of 5.43% to Rs5.62bn.

However, the company received support from its associated company, with share of profit rising 58.6% to Rs694 million.

Pre-tax profit dropped by 34.14% to Rs4.14bn, and with a higher tax expense up 196.09% to Rs581m the net earnings were further constrained.

Levies and minimum tax also rose to Rs1.15bn, contributing to the overall reduction in profitability.
