The primary factor behind the loss was the significant finance cost burden, which amounted to PKR 12.27 billion during the period.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the challenging financial environment, the company generated total income of approximately PKR 294.9 million from multiple sources. Interest earned on loans provided to subsidiaries contributed PKR 137.8 million, while bank deposits generated PKR 91.5 million. Rental income from investment properties added PKR 39.9 million, and foreign exchange gains contributed PKR 22.6 million.<\/p>\n<p>PIAHCL&#8217;s total assets stood at PKR 82.99 billion as of March 31, 2025, compared with PKR 83.44 billion at the end of December 2024. The company noted that its profitability continues to be affected by a highly leveraged capital structure and elevated borrowing costs linked to benchmark rates such as KIBOR and SOFR.<\/p>\n<p>During the quarter, long-term financing increased by approximately PKR 30.4 billion, primarily due to additional government support aimed at strengthening the company&#8217;s financial position. Management stated that these measures are part of broader efforts to manage liabilities and support the ongoing restructuring framework.<\/p>\n<p>The company remains focused on its core mandate of managing investments, assets, liabilities, and strategic interests across its subsidiaries. PIAHCL also continues to pursue operational efficiencies, prudent asset management practices, and enhanced governance standards in line with its long-term objectives.<\/p>\n<p>In their message accompanying the report, Chairman Tariq Bajwa and Chief Executive Officer Asad Rasool reaffirmed the company&#8217;s commitment to maintaining financial discipline while addressing the challenges associated with its debt obligations and evolving business environment.<\/p>\n<p>As PIAHCL progresses through 2025, management&#8217;s priorities remain centered on improving financial sustainability, optimizing asset utilization, and supporting the strategic development of its subsidiaries and associated businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PIA Holding Company Limited (PIAHCL) has released its First Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2025, highlighting the company&#8217;s ongoing efforts to manage its financial obligations while maintaining operational stability.
