For the third quarter alone, the company reduced its quarterly loss substantially, posting a net loss of Rs15.44 million, compared with a loss of Rs210.30 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Quarterly net sales rose to Rs3.17 billion, while gross profit more than doubled to Rs350.25 million.

Earnings per share (EPS) for the nine-month period improved to Rs1.46, reversing a loss per share of Rs13.90 recorded during the same period last year.

On the financial position front, the company’s total assets increased to Rs15.06 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared with Rs14.32 billion at the end of June 2025. Shareholders’ equity also strengthened, rising to Rs3.79 billion from Rs3.75 billion, reflecting the recovery in earnings during the period.
