Fauji Cement Company Ltd (FCCL) reported a marginal increase in profit for the half year ended 31 December 2025, despite revenue and margin pressures.

PAT edged up to PKR7.32bn (US$26.2m) from PKR7.27bn in the same period last year, while earnings per share rose slightly to PKR2.98 from PKR2.96.

Net revenue declined to PKR47.35bn from PKR47.84bn. Gross profit fell to PKR15.73bn from PKR16.79bn, with the gross margincontracting to 33.2 per cent from 35.1 per cent due to higher input costs.

Operating profit decreased by around 10 per cent to PKR12.68bn. However, lower finance costs and higher finance income supported the bottom line.

FCCL said it mitigated cost pressures through increased own power generation, greater use of alternative fuels and in-house packing bag production.
