Karachi: Habib Sugar Mills Limited has released its audited annual financial results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, as approved by the company's Board of Directors in a meeting held on December 17, 2025, in Karachi. The Board has declared a final cash dividend of Rs. 6 per ordinary share, representing a 120% payout, while no bonus shares, right shares, or other corporate actions are planned.

The company reported net sales and services of Rs. 21.73 billion for the year, up from Rs. 20.62 billion in 2024. The cost of sales also increased to Rs. 18.76 billion from Rs. 18.11 billion in the previous year, resulting in a gross profit of Rs. 2.97 billion compared to Rs. 2.51 billion last year. According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the net profit for the year was Rs. 1.56 billion, a decrease from Rs. 1.96 billion in 2024. This change is classified as a moderate move, as reflected in the earnings per share, which dropped from Rs. 14.52 to Rs. 11.52.

Habib Sugar Mills' total assets grew to Rs. 23.50 billion, up from Rs. 19.94 billion in 2024. Significant growth was noted in long-term investments, which increased to Rs. 6.83 billion from Rs. 3.54 billion the previous year. Current assets saw a marginal increase, with cash and bank balances rising significantly to Rs. 2.56 billion from Rs. 1.10 billion in 2024.

The company's equity and reserves rose to Rs. 17.44 billion from Rs. 13.17 billion in the previous year, driven by an increase in general reserves and unrealized gains on investments. Current liabilities, however, decreased to Rs. 5.47 billion from Rs. 6.48 billion, primarily due to a reduction in contract liabilities.

In terms of cash flows, the company generated Rs. 2.99 billion from operating activities, a substantial increase from Rs. 46.54 million in 2024. However, net cash used in investing activities amounted to Rs. 585.66 million, a reversal from a positive cash flow of Rs. 1.91 billion in the previous year. Financing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of Rs. 657.04 million, compared to Rs. 1.88 billion in 2024.

The Share Transfer Books will be closed from January 16, 2026, to January 27, 2026, both days inclusive, ahead of the company's 64th Annual General Meeting scheduled for January 27, 2026, at the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan in Karachi.
