Kohat Cement Posts Rs10.7 Billion Profit in FY2026
Kohat Cement Company Limited has reported a profit after tax of Rs10.70 billion for the financial year ended June 30, 2026, compared with Rs11.58 billion recorded in the previous year, according to its financial statements.
The company’s consolidated revenue from contracts with customers increased to Rs38.53 billion during FY2026, up from Rs37.54 billion in FY2025. However, higher production and operating costs put pressure on profitability during the year.
Gross Profit Comes Under Pressure
Kohat Cement’s cost of sales rose to approximately Rs24.88 billion, compared with Rs22.64 billion a year earlier. As a result, gross profit declined to Rs13.65 billion, from Rs14.89 billion in FY2025.
Operating profit also decreased to around Rs11.48 billion, compared with Rs12.82 billion in the preceding year. The figures indicate that while the company was able to grow its revenue, rising costs weighed on its operating margins.
Other Income Supports Bottom Line
Despite the pressure at the operating level, Kohat Cement benefited from other income of approximately Rs4.65 billion during the year. Finance costs stood at around Rs153.4 million, resulting in profit before tax of approximately Rs15.97 billion.
After accounting for tax and other charges, the company posted a profit after tax of Rs10.70 billion, compared with Rs11.58 billion in FY2025. Earnings per share stood at Rs11.64, against Rs11.97 in the previous year.
No Cash Dividend or Bonus Shares Announced
In a separate notice dated September 10, 2026, the company informed the Pakistan Stock Exchange that its board had not recommended a cash dividend, bonus shares or right shares for the year ended June 30, 2026. The notice also stated that there was no other price-sensitive information or corporate action to disclose.
The company has scheduled its Annual General Meeting for October 22, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at its registered office in Gulberg II, Lahore. Shareholders will consider the annual financial statements and other matters listed in the meeting agenda.
Cash Flow and Financial Position
The financial statements also show continued investment in the company’s operations. During FY2026, cash was used for acquisitions of property, plant and equipment as well as investments and other activities. The consolidated cash flow statement reported a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the year.
Kohat Cement’s FY2026 results therefore present a mixed picture: revenue moved higher, but increased costs reduced gross and operating profitability. Nevertheless, substantial other income helped the company maintain a profit of more than Rs10 billion for the year.
