Pakistan: Fecto Cement Ltd reported a profit after tax of PKR663.36m (US$2.39m) for the year ended 30 June 2026, up from PKR608.69m a year earlier, according to the company’s statement of profit or loss posted on the Pakistan Stock Exchange on August 18. The result shows that less taxation could be the main reason for the increase in profit.
Sales rose to PKR12.49bn from PKR11.09 bn, while cost of sales increased to PKR11.19bn. Gross profit stood at PKR1.30bn, down from PKR1.83bn in the previous year.
Operating profit declined to PKR474.68m from PKR1.01bn, mainly due to higher administrative and distribution expenses. Other income rose sharply to PKR363.47m from PKR142.27m, helping offset the impact of reduced operating margins.
Profit before taxation was PKR853.51m, down from PKR1.09bn last year.
Fecto Cement is a public limited company incorporated on 28 February 1981. The Company is principally engaged in manufacturing and selling Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Its production facility is located in Sangjani Village, Islamabad, with an installed capacity of approximately 1.0Mta of cement.
