The cost of sales also rose to Rs2.47bn in 1Q2024 as compared to Rs1.29bn in SPLY, but was far lesser than the increase in sales.

During the period under review, other income dipped by 13.1% YoY to stand at Rs21.98m as compared to Rs25.29m in SPLY.
The company’s finance cost grew by 3.2% YoY and stood at Rs479.18m as compared to Rs464.28m in SPLY, mainly due to higher interest rates.
On the taxation front, the company paid a tax expense of Rs261.33m as compared to a tax credit of Rs77.95m received in 1Q2023.
