Supernet Technologies Posts Improved Profitability in First Quarter of FY2027

Supernet Technologies Limited has reported an improvement in its profitability for the first quarter ended September 30, 2026, despite recording a slight decline in consolidated revenue. The company’s latest financial results indicate stronger earnings at the standalone level, improved gross profit margins and a significant reduction in finance costs.

According to the financial results approved by the Board of Directors on October 30, 2026, the company recorded consolidated revenue of Rs1.789 billion during the quarter, compared with Rs1.874 billion in the corresponding period last year.

Despite the decline in revenue, consolidated gross profit increased to Rs507.4 million from Rs498.8 million in the same period of 2025. However, operating profit declined to Rs226.3 million against Rs256.4 million a year earlier.

One of the major improvements came from lower finance costs, which dropped substantially to Rs5.4 million compared with Rs42.1 million in the corresponding quarter last year. This reduction helped the company increase its consolidated profit before taxation to Rs196.1 million from Rs172.9 million.

Consolidated profit after taxation reached Rs130.6 million, representing an increase from Rs124.6 million recorded in the same period last year. Earnings per share also improved slightly to Rs0.74 from Rs0.73.

Strong Improvement in Standalone Financial Performance

Supernet Technologies delivered a particularly strong performance in its standalone financial results. Revenue increased to Rs1.384 billion during the quarter, compared with Rs1.239 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year.

Standalone gross profit rose significantly to Rs405.9 million from Rs293.9 million, reflecting an improvement in the company’s gross profitability.

Operating profit more than doubled, reaching Rs221.1 million compared with Rs106.5 million in the same quarter last year. The improvement was also supported by lower finance costs and a reduction in the tax and levy burden.

The company’s standalone profit after taxation surged to Rs139.4 million from Rs12.9 million in the corresponding period of 2025. Earnings per share increased to Rs0.82 from Rs0.08, highlighting the substantial improvement in standalone earnings.

Balance Sheet and Capital Position

The company’s consolidated total assets increased to Rs6.86 billion as of September 30, 2026, compared with Rs5.89 billion at June 30, 2026.

Consolidated shareholders’ equity also improved to Rs3.61 billion from Rs2.59 billion. This increase was supported by the issuance of right shares amounting to Rs914.8 million and the profit earned during the quarter.

Cash and bank balances under the consolidated financial statements stood at Rs377.9 million at the end of September 2026, compared with Rs274.3 million at the end of June 2026.

At the standalone level, total assets increased to Rs5.59 billion from Rs4.80 billion, while shareholders’ equity rose to Rs2.75 billion from Rs1.72 billion.

Cash Flow Remains an Area to Watch

Despite improved profitability, the company’s cash flow performance presents an area that investors may want to monitor.

On a consolidated basis, net cash used in operating activities amounted to Rs292.2 million during the quarter, compared with Rs2.1 million in the corresponding period last year.

Standalone operating cash outflow stood at Rs471.8 million, compared with positive operating cash flow of Rs111.3 million in the same period of 2025.

The consolidated cash position benefited from financing activities, including Rs914.8 million received through the right issue. The company also reported a payment of Rs450 million to Telecard Limited against shares liability.

These figures highlight the importance of monitoring working capital management and the company’s ability to convert reported earnings into operating cash flows.

No Dividend Announced

Alongside the financial results, the company announced that its Board of Directors had recommended no cash dividend, bonus shares or additional right shares for the period ended September 30, 2026.

The company stated that its first quarterly financial statements would also be transmitted through the Pakistan Stock Exchange’s PUCARS system.

Outlook for Investors

Supernet Technologies’ first-quarter performance presents a mixed but encouraging financial picture. While consolidated revenue and operating profit experienced declines, lower finance costs helped improve overall consolidated earnings.

The stronger standalone results, particularly the increase in operating profit and profit after taxation, are positive developments. However, the negative operating cash flows remain an important consideration when assessing the company’s financial position.

Going forward, investors will likely focus on revenue growth, profitability, cash flow generation and the company’s ability to sustain its improved standalone performance.

Overall, Supernet Technologies has started FY2027 with higher consolidated net profit and a significant improvement in standalone earnings. Its performance over the coming quarters will provide a clearer indication of whether these improvements can be maintained.
