Kohinoor Textile Mills Limited (KTML) has reported a strong financial performance for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, posting a 13% year-on-year increase in after-tax profit despite continued uncertainty in global markets and disruptions in international trade.
According to the company’s latest quarterly financial report, net profit after tax rose to Rs. 2.264 billion, compared to Rs. 2.009 billion in the corresponding period last year. Earnings per share (EPS) improved to Rs. 1.68, up from Rs. 1.49 a year earlier.
KTML’s net sales remained stable at Rs. 44.93 billion, while effective cost management helped reduce the cost of sales by around 1% to Rs. 37.32 billion. As a result, the company’s gross profit increased to Rs. 7.61 billion, compared to Rs. 7.20 billion in the same period of FY2025.
The company stated that improved profitability was largely driven by the made-ups business, which benefited from lower yarn prices during the period. Meanwhile, the spinning division also recovered as domestic yarn prices strengthened following government measures aimed at curbing misuse of the Export Facilitation Scheme (EFS) and restricting unfair yarn imports.
KTML also highlighted better performance from its weaving division, supported by exports of premium-quality products and improved operational efficiency following the installation of modern processing equipment. The processing and cut-and-sew segment delivered particularly strong third-quarter results, aided by the company’s continued focus on producing higher-value textile products for international markets.
To strengthen its long-term competitiveness, the company is continuing to invest in modernization. New machinery is being installed to improve production quality, reduce energy consumption, and expand digital printing capabilities. KTML is also enhancing its sustainability initiatives by adding battery storage systems to its solar power facilities and installing equipment to reduce emissions from biomass boilers.
Despite the encouraging financial results, management remains cautious about the outlook for the final quarter of the financial year. The company warned that ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to disrupt shipping routes, increase energy and raw material costs, and create uncertainty in global demand, which could affect textile exports if the conflict persists.
Overall, Kohinoor Textile Mills delivered resilient financial performance during the first nine months of FY2026, demonstrating its ability to maintain profitability through operational efficiency, strategic investments, and a stronger focus on value-added exports despite a challenging global business environment.
