FINANCIAL RESULTS

Financial results of the Company are attached hereto as Annexure - Aand Annexure Balong with the Directors Report as Annexure - C.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

The Company (Standalone):

During period under review, standalone revenue grew 62% over same period last year from Rs. 8,791.85 million to Rs. 14,210.44 million. Consequently, Gross profit and Operating profit are 41% and 34% higher than SPLY (same period last year) respectively. Margins remain under

stress due to significant inflationary pressures in the domestic market, partially eased by continued devaluation of the Pak Rupee resulting in a revaluation gain of Rs 2,355.52 million compared to the gain in June 2022 of Rs. 664.67 million increasing Net profit by 73%, from Rs. 2,792.16 million to Rs.4,821.90 million in this period. Basic and diluted earnings per share increased by 65% in line with profit for the period. The growth in revenue, net of the impact of exchange gain, is 11%.

The increase in revenue has been led by Middle East.

The Group (Consolidated):

In line with the unconsolidated results, consolidated revenue grew by 102% from Rs. 11,463.24 million to Rs. 23,189.16 million versus SPLY.

Gross profit and operating profit increased 71% and 41% respectively. Investment in subsidiaries along with inflationary pressures in the domestic market have impacted margins, however, optimization of revenue and costs has positively impacted margins quarter over quarter. Net profit for the period at Rs. 5,293.86 million is 79% higher than SPLY, including the Rs. 2,546.64 million exchange gain. Basic and diluted earnings per share increased by 71% and 70% respectively in line with profit for the period. Eliminating the currency impact, revenue is up by 39% in US dollar terms.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the management had acquired 9% stake in the fastest growing fashion e-commerce brand of Pakistan, JOMO, as a strategic investment. However, considering the economic downturn in the country and delay in anticipated funding resulting in deteriorating liquidity and financial performance of the brand, the management believes that the carrying value of investment amounting to Rs 154. 46 million does not truly reflect its fair value. Hence the management, in the interest of prudence has taken requisite impairment of the investment.

The Company was absorbing a share of loss from another strategic investment in Retailistan/Jugnu which had been adversely impacting the margins. Since it has neutralized the cost of investment, no further adverse impact on profitability is expected.

For details, please refer to the attached Directors report.
