Imperial Limited Reports Big Revenue Decline Amid Asset Disposal Delays

Lahore: Imperial Limited has released its Annual Report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, outlining a significant decline in its financial performance. The company reported revenue of Rs. 297,017 million, a decrease from the previous year's Rs. 509.85 million, representing a very large or significant move in revenue reduction. The report, dated October 7, 2026, was presented to shareholders in anticipation of the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Operating profit for the year was recorded at Rs. 82,303 million, down from Rs. 142,000 million in 2025. However, net profit after taxation showed an increase, reaching Rs. 37,563 million compared to Rs. 26,663 million the previous year. This resulted in earnings per share rising to Rs. 0.38 from Rs. 0.27.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), Imperial Limited is navigating a challenging period marked by delays in asset disposal. The company is in the process of selling its Composite Sugar Manufacturing Facility in Phalia, District Mandi Bahauddin, as part of its strategic shift. However, global and domestic macro-economic conditions, high cost of funds, and political uncertainties have contributed to the delays.

The company has allocated existing funds into a variety of financial instruments and projects. Notably, it is advancing its hydroponics project, with major machinery shipments already received on-site, and completion expected in the next financial year. Additionally, Imperial Limited is investing in real estate, with several houses under construction in Lahore, which are anticipated to be ready for sale in the coming calendar year.

No dividends have been proposed for the year, as the company focuses on strategic investments and asset restructuring. Imperial Limited emphasizes its commitment to maintaining safe working conditions and contributing to social welfare through educational and health initiatives.
