Alongside the results, the company’s Board of Directors has recommended a final cash dividend of PKR 5.25 per share (262.5%), in addition to the interim cash dividend of the same amount already paid during the year.
According to the company’s notification, shareholders will receive the final dividend subject to approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). The entitlement will be determined based on shareholders whose names appear in the Register of Members at the close of business on September 18, 2026.
Despite maintaining strong profitability, Lucky Core Industries experienced a challenging financial year. Consolidated net turnover stood at PKR 113.38 billion, representing a 5% decline compared to the previous year. Operating profit also decreased by 18% to PKR 14.74 billion, reflecting softer operating conditions across the business. The company’s consolidated earnings per share (EPS) declined to PKR 21.11, compared with PKR 25.46 recorded in the previous financial year.
On a standalone basis, the company reported profit after tax of PKR 9.692 billion, while standalone EPS came in at PKR 20.99, both approximately 17% lower than the previous year’s performance.
The financial statements show that gross profit reached PKR 24.59 billion, while finance costs increased to PKR 2.49 billion. The company also generated PKR 3.57 billion in other income, partially offsetting higher operating expenses and taxation during the year.
Lucky Core Industries maintained a solid financial position with total assets of PKR 111.22 billion and total equity of PKR 59.44 billion as of June 30, 2026. Cash generated from operating activities remained positive at PKR 5.79 billion, demonstrating the company’s continued ability to generate cash despite lower earnings.
The company has scheduled its Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 25, 2026, at its Karachi headquarters, with shareholders also able to participate through video conferencing. The share transfer books will remain closed from September 19 to September 25, 2026 for dividend entitlement and AGM purposes.
While the FY2026 results reflect a moderation in earnings compared to the previous year, Lucky Core Industries continues to reward shareholders through consistent dividend distributions and retains a strong balance sheet, positioning the company to navigate evolving market conditions and pursue future growth opportunities.
