Significant actions were taken by the Board of Directors, including the decision to capitalize 832.20 million rupees for the issuance of bonus shares at a rate of 20%, translating to 20 shares for every 100 shares held. No cash dividend or right shares were declared for the year. Furthermore, the Board proposed an increase in the authorized share capital from 5 billion rupees to 7 billion rupees, pending shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the total comprehensive income for 2025 stood at 1.51 billion rupees, down from 2.05 billion rupees in 2024. The company’s total cash flow from all operating activities was reported at 266.62 million rupees, reflecting a moderate move from the previous year’s 1.74 billion rupees.

The 66th Annual General Meeting of the company is scheduled for April 25, 2026, at the PSX Auditorium in Karachi. Share transfer books will be closed from April 18 to April 25, 2026, to facilitate the meeting and any entitlements.
