JDW Sugar Mills Limited<\/span><\/span> has announced its financial results for the half year ended March 31, 2026, showing a substantial increase in profitability and declaring a second interim cash dividend for shareholders.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s board approved a second interim cash dividend of Rs. 5 per share (50%) for the financial year ending September 30, 2026. This comes in addition to the first interim dividend of Rs. 20 per share (200%) already paid earlier in the year, bringing the total interim payout to Rs. 25 per share so far.<\/p>\n

For the six-month period, JDW posted unconsolidated revenue from contracts with customers of Rs. 61.78 billion, compared with Rs. 63.10 billion in the same period last year. Despite slightly lower revenue, gross profit rose sharply to Rs. 11.20 billion from Rs. 6.81 billion, reflecting improved operational margins.<\/p>\n

Net profit after tax reached Rs. 6.78 billion, a strong increase from Rs. 2.54 billion recorded in the corresponding period last year. Earnings per share also climbed significantly to Rs. 117.28, compared with Rs. 43.97 a year earlier, underlining stronger returns for shareholders.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s balance sheet showed total assets of Rs. 139.02 billion at the end of March 2026, compared with Rs. 77.89 billion at the close of September 2025. This reflects expanded working capital, particularly in stock-in-trade and financing activities, as the company scaled operations during the season.<\/p>\n

On a consolidated basis, the group reported profit attributable to owners of the holding company at Rs. 4.85 billion, up from Rs. 2.68 billion in the same period last year. Consolidated earnings per share stood at Rs. 83.85, compared with Rs. 46.40 previously.<\/p>\n

The company also informed shareholders that its share transfer books will remain closed from May 25 to May 26, 2026, for determining dividend entitlement. Share transfers received by May 22, 2026, will qualify for the interim dividend.<\/p>\n

Overall, the latest results indicate a strong earnings recovery for JDW Sugar Mills, supported by improved margins, higher other income, and stronger operating performance despite modestly lower topline sales. The dividend announcement further reinforces management\u2019s confidence in the company\u2019s financial position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
