Imperial Limited Reports Rs9.79 Million Profit for First Quarter of FY2026-27

Imperial Limited has reported a net profit of Rs9.79 million for the first quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared with Rs56.94 million in the corresponding period last year, reflecting a significant decline in overall profitability.

According to the company’s financial results submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), Imperial Limited recorded revenue of Rs67.36 million during the quarter, up from Rs54.29 million in the same period of the previous year.

Despite the increase in revenue, the company’s profit from continuing operations declined to Rs19.55 million from Rs63.85 million a year earlier. The decline was largely associated with a substantial reduction in other income, which fell to Rs10 million compared with Rs50.70 million in the corresponding quarter last year.

Administrative expenses increased to Rs55.72 million from Rs37.99 million, adding further pressure on operating profitability. Meanwhile, other operating expenses stood at Rs267,000, while finance costs amounted to Rs81,000.

Imperial Limited reported profit before taxation of Rs21.56 million, compared with Rs66.83 million in the same quarter last year. After accounting for income tax of Rs2.01 million, profit from continuing operations stood at Rs19.55 million.

However, the company recorded a loss of Rs9.76 million from discontinued operations, compared with a loss of Rs6.91 million in the corresponding period last year. Consequently, overall net profit declined to Rs9.79 million, against Rs56.94 million previously.

Earnings per share (EPS) also decreased significantly to Rs0.10 from Rs0.58 in the first quarter of the previous financial year.

Financial Position Remains Stable

The company’s balance sheet showed total assets of Rs12.66 billion as of September 30, 2026, compared with Rs12.66 billion at the end of June 2026.

Shareholders’ equity stood at Rs10.43 billion, while unappropriated profit increased slightly to Rs3.91 billion from Rs3.90 billion. Property, plant and equipment were recorded at Rs985.19 million.

The company also reported short-term investments of Rs1.64 billion, while cash and bank balances stood at Rs11.85 million at the end of the quarter.

No Dividend Announced

In its October 30, 2026 board meeting, Imperial Limited did not recommend any cash dividend, bonus shares, or right shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The company also reported no other entitlement or price-sensitive corporate action.

Overall, Imperial Limited experienced higher revenue during the first quarter of FY2026-27, but lower other income and increased administrative expenses weighed heavily on profitability. The decline in earnings per share highlights the weaker bottom-line performance compared with the same period last year.
