Faisalabad: J.K. Spinning Mills Limited, a major player in the textile industry, has reported a significant growth in revenue and plans for expansion in its latest annual report. The company, known for its robust market presence and comprehensive product line, continues to strengthen its financial position and operational capacity amid a favorable economic climate.
The fiscal year 2024 saw J.K. Spinning Mills achieve its highest-ever turnover, amounting to Rs. 41.82 billion, a notable increase of 15.74% over the previous year. This growth is attributed to the efficient management and strategic direction provided by the Board of Directors. According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the textile sector has shown resilience and growth potential, mirroring the company's performance.
In terms of profitability, the company's gross profit rose by 17.87%, reaching Rs. 5.64 billion. However, the net profit saw a decline of 44% compared to the previous year, primarily due to a 151% increase in financial charges. This increase was a result of higher KIBOR rates and escalated working capital requirements.
On the expansion front, J.K. Spinning Mills is set to enhance its production capabilities. Plans include the addition of 6,600 routers in the spinning setup to improve waste recycling processes, and the expansion of the processing unit with new machinery such as a Stentor, Calendar, Oil Heater, and Singeing machine.
