Lahore: Maple Leaf Cement Factory Limited (MLCF) has announced its financial results for the year ended June 30, 2026, reporting strong growth in consolidated earnings while unveiling plans to strengthen its affiliated companies through strategic investments. The company’s Board of Directors approved the financial statements during a meeting held on July 30, 2026.
On a consolidated basis, Maple Leaf Cement posted net revenue of Rs85.15 billion, up from Rs68.65 billion in the previous year, reflecting robust demand and improved business performance. Gross profit increased to Rs31.61 billion from Rs25.44 billion, while operating profit climbed to Rs24.59 billion, compared with Rs19.05 billion in FY2025. Profit attributable to shareholders reached Rs11.88 billion, lifting earnings per share (EPS) to Rs11.34, compared with Rs10.98 a year earlier.
Despite the improved profitability, the Board did not recommend any cash dividend, bonus shares, or right shares for the financial year. Instead, the company opted to retain capital to support future growth initiatives.
A key highlight of the Board’s decisions was the approval of up to Rs2 billion in loans and advances to Kohinoor Textile Mills Limited (KTML), the company’s holding company, to meet its working capital requirements. The proposal remains subject to shareholder approval under Section 199 of the Companies Act, 2017. In return, KTML’s Board is expected to recommend a reciprocal facility of up to Rs2 billion for Maple Leaf Cement’s working capital needs, also subject to shareholder approval.
The Board also approved an investment of up to Rs2 billion in the form of loans and advances to Maple Leaf Capital Limited (MLCL), an associated company, to support its working capital requirements. This transaction will likewise require shareholder approval under the Companies Act, 2017.
On a standalone basis, Maple Leaf Cement reported revenue of Rs70.73 billion and net profit of Rs8.45 billion, translating into an EPS of Rs8.06. While standalone earnings declined from the previous year’s Rs17.04 billion due to lower other income and higher finance costs, the consolidated results remained resilient, supported by the performance of subsidiaries.
The company also announced that its Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on September 17, 2026, at 12:30 PM at its registered office in Lahore. The share transfer books will remain closed from September 11 to September 17, 2026 (both days inclusive).
The FY2026 results underscore Maple Leaf Cement’s continued operational strength and its focus on long-term value creation through strategic investments within its group structure. While shareholders will not receive a dividend this year, the company’s investment plans signal confidence in future growth opportunities and financial stability.
