Islamabad: Shifa International Hospitals Limited has reported a substantial 77% increase in net earnings for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2025, as detailed in the company's Condensed Interim Unconsolidated and Consolidated Financial Statements. The company's revenue rose by 17%, bolstered by strategic cost control measures and enhanced operational efficiency, according to the Directors' Review released by the Board of Directors.

The marked improvement in financial performance was attributed to a decline in finance costs by 21%, achieved through strategic debt repayments, which contributed to the overall profitability. As a result, earnings per share saw a significant increase, climbing to Rs. 29.79 from Rs. 16.87 in the previous year. This growth underscores the company's focus on maintaining financial discipline and a strategic approach to operations.

Strategically, Shifa International Hospitals Limited merged its wholly owned subsidiary, Shifa Neuro Sciences Institute Islamabad (Private) Limited, effective from March 25, 2025, following the submission of the required amalgamation documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). This move aims to optimize operational efficiency and enhance group synergies.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the healthcare service provider operates under the 'Health Care' designated market category, reflecting its commitment to expanding and upgrading healthcare infrastructure. The company is focused on elevating patient experience, investing in advanced medical technologies, and driving digital transformation.
