For the quarter ending September 30, 2024, Redco Textiles reported net sales amounting to 445.99 million, more than double the 215.08 million recorded during the same period last year. This substantial growth in sales reflects the company's successful market strategies and product demand.

Other operating income was reported at 6.74 million, down from 97.46 million a year earlier, primarily due to a decrease in non-recurring income streams. The finance costs incurred were relatively stable at 0.40 million compared to 0.28 million.
