KARACHI: Aruj Industries Limited has reported an improvement in its financial performance for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2026, as the company significantly reduced its losses compared to the same period last year, despite continuing to face weak sales.
According to the company’s condensed interim financial results, Aruj Industries posted a net loss of Rs5.66 million for the nine months (January–March 2026 reporting period), compared with a loss of Rs22.93 million in the corresponding period of last year. Loss per share also improved to Rs0.54, down from Rs2.19 a year earlier.
For the third quarter (July 2025 to March 2026), the company recorded a net loss of Rs21.86 million, an improvement from the Rs30.40 million loss reported during the same period of the previous year. Earnings per share improved to a loss of Rs2.09, compared with a loss of Rs2.91 in the corresponding period last year.
The financial statements show that Aruj Industries generated only Rs191,800 in net sales during the nine-month period, while the cost of sales remained substantially higher, resulting in a gross loss of Rs16.18 million. However, the company managed to reduce its administrative and general expenses, helping narrow the overall operating loss compared with the previous year.
In its notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange, the Board of Directors announced that it has not recommended any cash dividend, bonus shares, right shares, or any other corporate action for the period under review.
While Aruj Industries continues to operate under challenging business conditions, the notable reduction in losses indicates improved cost management. Going forward, the company’s ability to revive sales and strengthen revenue generation will remain crucial to achieving a sustainable financial turnaround.
