April 30, 2025 (MLN): Thal Limited (PSX: THALL) reported a decline of 12.56% YoY in its after-tax profits for the nine months of fiscal year 2025, with the company’s profit after tax decreasing to Rs6.23 billion [EPS: Rs68.18], compared to a profit of Rs7.13bn [EPS: Rs80.42] in the same period last year (SPLY).

The company's top line showed an increase of 12.87% YoY, reaching Rs23.41bn, compared to Rs20.74bn in SPLY.

The cost of sales also rose by 12.64% YoY, in line with the sales increase, resulting in a gross profit of Rs2.19bn, which marked a 15.18% improvement from Rs1.9bn in 9MFY24.

The gross margins improved slightly, standing at 9.37% compared to 9.18% in SPLY.

The decline in profits was attributed to higher taxation costs, which increased by 33.67% YoY to Rs2.59bn, compared to Rs1.94bn in SPLY.

Other income expanded by 14.22% YoY to stand at Rs4.5bn, as compared to Rs3.94bn in SPLY, helping mitigate the overall profit decline.

On the expense side, distribution and selling expenses rose by 13.55% YoY, amounting to Rs643.4m, and administrative expenses also saw an increase of 7.57% YoY to reach Rs1.47bn.

The company's finance costs, however, decreased by 17.13% YoY to Rs660.9m, compared to Rs797.5m in the corresponding period last year, benefiting from lower borrowing costs.

The company’s levy fell by 32.56% YoY to Rs322.34m, reflecting a positive adjustment during the review period.
