Sales accounted for 72.83% of the total value addition in 2025, slightly reduced from 92.64% in 2024.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the finance cost experienced a moderate move, decreasing from 5.44% in 2024 to 2.99% in 2025. This reduction in finance costs, coupled with a big move in taxation, which increased from 1.64% to 6.59%, played a crucial role in shaping the company's financial outcomes.
