Karachi: Matco Foods Limited, a prominent player in the food processing industry, has reported its annual financial results for the year ending June 30, 2026, as per the company's annual report dated October 7, 2026. The report highlights a series of strategic initiatives and financial outcomes following a significant corporate restructuring.
During the fiscal year, Matco Foods Limited implemented a comprehensive restructuring plan effective from July 1, 2025. Under this plan, the company separated its Corn Starch and Consumer Foods divisions into two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Matco Corn Products (Private) Limited and Falak Foods Limited. This strategic realignment aimed to focus on high-value industrial ingredients and branded consumer products.
For the financial year ending June 30, 2026, Matco Foods achieved consolidated net sales of PKR 23.85 billion, marking a planned contraction of 10.6% from the previous year's PKR 26.67 billion. This decrease reflects the company's strategic shift away from high-volume, low-margin exports towards more profitable segments. Despite the sales contraction, the group recorded a 5.5% increase in Gross Profit, amounting to PKR 3.55 billion compared to PKR 3.36 billion in FY2025.
According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), Matco Foods' financial performance was bolstered by a reduction in the consolidated cost of sales, which decreased by 12.9% to PKR 20.30 billion. The decrease was attributed to optimized procurement cycles, portfolio adjustments, and savings in energy costs due to an extensive solar energy infrastructure.
The company's administrative expenses increased by 35.2% to PKR 1.15 billion, largely due to legal and professional costs associated with the restructuring. Meanwhile, finance charges saw a notable decrease of 15.5%, aligning with the State Bank of Pakistan's policy easing measures.
Consolidated Profit Before Tax surged by 49.5% to PKR 724.00 million, while Net Profit for the Year grew by 36.2% to PKR 564.85 million. The company's Earnings Per Share (EPS) rose to PKR 4.61, marking a significant improvement from the previous year's PKR 3.39.
The report also detailed performance across various segments. Basmati export volumes were down by 37.9%, yet the sales value decline was contained at 31.4%, underscoring Matco Foods' ability to secure premium pricing. The domestic branded segment exhibited robust growth, with volumes and revenues increasing by 5.9% and 18.5%, respectively.
Matco Foods Limited's strategic realignment and focus on high-value segments have resulted in a significant improvement in financial performance, positioning the company for continued success in the evolving market landscape.
