Pakistan Paper Products Limited has released its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2026, reflecting a decline in both revenue and profitability amid challenging economic conditions.
- Revenue for the quarter decreased by 13.64% to PKR 436.6M compared to the previous period.
- Net profit after tax (PAT) fell to PKR 17.82M from PKR 30.17M year-on-year.
- Earnings per share (EPS) decreased to PKR 2.23 from PKR 3.77 in the same quarter last year.
- The decline in sales was attributed to lower demand across all business segments, particularly a 50% drop in sales of Sensitized Paper and Photocopy Paper as the company phases out these products.
- Gross profit decreased to PKR 63.38M, down from PKR 78.07M, reflecting increased procurement costs and higher closing inventory.
- The company remains optimistic about future performance despite current challenges, including geopolitical tensions affecting margins and consumer purchasing power.
