TPL Trakker Posts Rs342.6 Million Nine-Month Loss Amid Revenue Decline

TPL Trakker Limited has reported a challenging financial performance for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2026, with the company’s consolidated loss widening compared with the same period last year.

According to the company’s financial results submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange, the Board of Directors reviewed the results at its meeting held on April 21, 2026. The board did not recommend any cash dividend, right shares, bonus shares or other entitlement for shareholders.

Revenue falls during nine-month period

On a consolidated basis, TPL Trakker recorded net turnover of approximately Rs1.37 billion during the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared with around Rs1.73 billion in the corresponding period of 2025.

The decline in revenue was accompanied by pressure on profitability. Gross profit stood at approximately Rs335.9 million, compared with Rs652.2 million a year earlier.

Distribution expenses declined to about Rs62.9 million from Rs100.4 million, while administrative expenses were recorded at approximately Rs245.8 million, compared with Rs455.6 million in the previous-year period.

Loss widens to Rs342.6 million

Despite reductions in several operating expenses, the company remained firmly in the red.

TPL Trakker reported a consolidated loss of Rs342.6 million for the nine-month period, compared with a loss of approximately Rs224.3 million in the same period last year. The loss attributable to owners of the parent company was also reported at approximately Rs342.3 million.

The company’s basic and diluted loss per share increased to Rs1.83, compared with a loss per share of Rs1.14 in the corresponding period of 2025.

Third-quarter loss shows improvement

The quarterly numbers, however, provide a somewhat more positive picture.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, TPL Trakker recorded a consolidated loss of approximately Rs134.7 million, compared with a loss of around Rs189.6 million in the same quarter of the previous year.

This represents an improvement in the quarterly bottom line despite lower quarterly turnover. The company reported quarterly turnover of approximately Rs448.9 million, compared with Rs355.4 million in the same period last year.

Cash flow remains under pressure

The company’s consolidated cash flow statement also highlights continued financial pressure. Net cash generated from operating activities during the nine months amounted to approximately Rs29.9 million, compared with Rs333.6 million in the previous-year period.

Meanwhile, investing activities used approximately Rs43.0 million, while financing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of approximately Rs116.9 million.

As a result, cash and cash equivalents declined substantially during the period, ending at approximately Rs777.1 million negative, according to the consolidated cash flow statement.

Unconsolidated results also reflect pressure

The company’s unconsolidated accounts show a similar trend. Net turnover for the nine months stood at approximately Rs855.0 million, down from Rs1.49 billion in the corresponding period of 2025.

The unconsolidated loss before tax reached approximately Rs289.6 million, while the net loss for the period was approximately Rs363.3 million, compared with a net loss of Rs63.5 million in the same period last year.

No dividend announced

For shareholders, the company’s latest results contain no immediate distribution announcement. The board recommended nil cash dividend, nil right shares and nil bonus shares, with no other entitlement announced for the period.

Overall, TPL Trakker’s nine-month results point to a difficult financial year, characterized by declining consolidated revenue, lower gross profit and a wider cumulative loss. The improvement recorded during the latest quarter could nevertheless provide a sign of stabilization, although the company’s full-year performance will depend on whether the improvement can be sustained through the remainder of the financial period.
