Karachi, October 23, 2025 : Following the meeting of the Board of Directors, Lucky Core Industries Limited (the ‘Company’)
announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Financial Highlights
• On a consolidated basis, the Net Turnover for the quarter under review at PKR 28,622 million is lower by 7% compared to the same period last year (SPLY). The Operating Result at PKR 3,777 million is lower by 11% compared to the SPLY. The PAT for the quarter at PKR 2,152 million and EPS attributed to the owners of the holding company at PKR 4.66 are both 18% lower than the SPLY. This decrease was primarily due to lower operating results in the Soda Ash, Polyester, and Chemicals & Agri Sciences business segments amid challenging
market conditions. However, the impact was partially mitigated by improved performance in the Pharmaceuticals and Animal Health businesses, as well as a reduction in finance costs, resulting from better working capital management and a 650-basis point reduction in the policy rate compared to the SPLY.
• On a standalone basis, PAT and EPS for the quarter under review at PKR 2,449 million and PKR 5.30 respectively are 6% lower than the SPLY. The reasons for the decline, as explained above, were also partially offset by dividend income of PKR 340 million from Lucky Core PowerGen Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary).
Following the announcement of the results, LCI’s Chief Executive, Mr. Asif Jooma said, “The Company’s business operations continued to face challenges stemming from cheaper imports and subdued market demand. However, easing inflation, exchange rate stabilisation, and reduction in policy rate have provided some stability. The Company remains focused on navigating these challenges through a consistent focus on portfolio diversification, effective margin management, and operational efficiencies.”
