Media Times Limited Reports Substantial Asset Growth Following Investment in Associate

Karachi: Media Times Limited has published its annual financial report for the year ending June 30, 2026, revealing a notable increase in total assets. The report, dated October 6, 2026, indicates a rise from Rs. 141.77 million in 2025 to Rs. 1.49 billion in 2026. This significant asset growth is primarily attributed to the company's recent investment in an associate, valued at Rs. 1.34 billion.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the company's financial position demonstrates a shift in asset allocation. Non-current assets have ballooned from Rs. 85.38 million in the previous year to Rs. 1.40 billion, driven largely by the aforementioned investment. Concurrently, current assets have increased to Rs. 89.92 million from Rs. 56.39 million, led by an uptick in trade debts and cash reserves.

The report also highlights a reversal in the company's equity standing. Share capital remains unchanged at Rs. 1.79 billion, and despite an accumulated loss of Rs. 1.76 billion, the overall equity and reserves have swung from a deficit of Rs. 1.06 billion in 2025 to a positive Rs. 104.87 million in 2026. This development paints a promising picture for stakeholders, suggesting improved financial health.

On the liabilities front, the total non-current liabilities have seen a minor move, slightly decreasing from Rs. 361.43 million to Rs. 358.47 million. Current liabilities, however, have experienced a big move, climbing from Rs. 837.58 million to Rs. 1.03 billion, primarily due to increased trade and other payables, which rose to Rs. 543.42 million.

Media Times Limited's financial strategy, particularly its substantial investment in an associate, appears to have yielded a beneficial impact on its asset profile, reflecting positively on its market category prospects as per the latest PSX data.
