KARACHI: Engro Fertilizers Limited has announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026, reporting a profit after tax of Rs7.12 billion, while declaring a second interim cash dividend of Rs1.75 per share (17.5%) for shareholders.
The company’s Board of Directors approved the financial results during its meeting held on July 29, 2026. The newly announced dividend is in addition to the first interim cash dividend of Rs2.00 per share (20%) that was already paid earlier this year, bringing the total interim payout for 2026 to Rs3.75 per share. The board did not recommend any bonus shares, right shares, or other corporate actions.
For the first half of 2026, Engro Fertilizers posted a profit after tax of Rs7.119 billion, compared with Rs8.464 billion in the corresponding period last year. Earnings per share (EPS) stood at Rs5.33, down from Rs6.34 recorded during the same period of 2025.
During the second quarter alone, the company earned Rs3.80 billion, translating into an EPS of Rs2.85, compared with a quarterly profit of Rs5.57 billion and EPS of Rs4.17 in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
The company reported gross profit of Rs23.56 billion for the six-month period, while finance costs increased to Rs3.29 billion, affecting overall profitability. Nevertheless, Engro Fertilizers also recorded gains from the remeasurement of the provision for Sindh Infrastructure Development Cess (SIDC), which provided some support to earnings during the period.
Engro Fertilizers informed shareholders that the interim cash dividend will be paid to members whose names appear in the Register of Members on August 10, 2026. The company’s share transfer books will remain closed from August 11 to August 12, 2026 (both days inclusive) for determining entitlement to the dividend.
The financial results reflect a moderation in profitability compared with the same period last year, while the company’s continued dividend payout underscores its commitment to delivering value to shareholders despite a challenging operating environment.
