Karachi: Gatron Industries Limited has disclosed a substantial downturn in its financial performance for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, as revealed in its un-consolidated financial statements. The Karachi-based company reported a considerable loss, marking a challenging year.
The company’s sales plummeted to 26.33 billion Rupees from the previous year’s 34.01 billion Rupees, representing a decrease in revenue. The decline in sales was accompanied by a drop in gross profit, which decreased to 885.81 million Rupees from the prior year’s 2.09 billion Rupees. This resulted in an operating loss of 101.45 million Rupees, a stark contrast to the 1.39 billion Rupees operating profit reported in the previous year.
According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), Gatron Industries’ reserves also experienced a contraction, falling from 12.20 billion Rupees to 10.29 billion Rupees. The company’s losses before income tax widened significantly, reaching 1.97 billion Rupees, compared to a loss of 517.96 million Rupees in the previous year. Finance costs remained a considerable burden, with expenses totaling 1.54 billion Rupees.
The company’s board, during its meeting on October 4, 2025, recommended no cash or bonus dividend for the fiscal year. The absence of dividends underscores the company’s financial constraints and strategic focus on stabilizing its fiscal position.
