Karachi: KSB Pumps Company Limited has reported significant financial growth for the first half of 2025, according to the Director’s Review presented on August 28, 2025. The company’s performance during this period underscores its strategic direction and commitment to delivering sustainable value to shareholders.
The company achieved an order intake of PKR 4.49 billion, meeting its budgeted targets. An impressive increase in profitability was noted, owing to a favorable sales mix, with Earnings Before Interest and Tax escalating to PKR 165 million, marking a Big move from the PKR 81 million recorded during the same period in 2024. This growth was primarily driven by strong sales momentum and an increase in export volumes.
Efficiency improvements were observed as the company’s working capital management saw receivable days reduced to 88 through stronger collections and disciplined credit management. Inventory turnover increased to 177 days, attributed to a strategic inventory build-up for future order fulfillment and the impact of three major projects. The company anticipates inventory days to stabilize in the year’s second half as significant sales are expected.
A notable achievement in sustainability and cost optimization was realized with the installation of an additional 850 KW solar power plant at the production facility in 2024, which generated savings of PKR 23 million in the first half of 2025. This initiative helped offset rising energy costs and bolstered the company’s long-term cost-efficiency agenda.
Export sales reached PKR 912 million in the first half of 2025, reinforcing the company’s growth trajectory in intercompany and international markets. The Water and General Industry segments are expected to present continued opportunities, supported by KSB’s technical expertise, brand reputation, and strategic market positioning.
