The company also reported a turnaround in its Pakistan business. The domestic segment moved to a 7.3% operating profit, compared with a 6% operating loss in the previous year, reflecting efforts to improve revenue quality, efficiency and cost management.
BFSI Emerges as a Major Business Segment
Systems Limited has reorganized its business around industry verticals, with Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) becoming its largest segment by revenue.
The company said its acquisition of a Temenos regional partnership has supported cross-selling and upselling opportunities among banking and financial-sector customers. Other important segments include Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods, Telecommunications and Technology. The company also noted growing activity in healthcare supported by artificial intelligence.
AI Becomes an Increasingly Important Growth Area
Artificial intelligence is becoming an important part of Systems Limited’s business strategy. The company has been expanding the use of AI across internal processes as well as client-facing solutions.
The annual report says the company is focusing on data engineering, systems integration, AI-enabled client engagements and repeatable AI use cases. It is also working with global technology partners to accelerate the adoption and deployment of AI platforms and services.
The company has also invested in developing its workforce. Over the past two years, it has increased employee training in AI-enabled tools and technologies, while moving toward a globally integrated talent model supported by AI-driven recruitment and workforce deployment.
Acquisitions and Geographic Expansion
Systems Limited highlighted Confiz and BAT-Shared Services as two important strategic acquisitions. The company expects these transactions to contribute to future revenue growth and expand its access to international enterprise customers.
The company plans to strengthen its presence in North America, the UK and Europe, APAC and the Middle East. It also expects continued improvement in its domestic Pakistani operations.
New Infrastructure Investment
The company is also expanding its physical infrastructure. A new office facility in Lahore is in the planning stage, with construction expected to begin in the second half of 2026. The facility is expected to accommodate more than 2,000 employees and is planned over an estimated two-year construction period.
Systems Limited is also in the process of acquiring an office in Karachi, while its Lahore office has been registered under the Special Technology Zones framework.
Dividend and Sustainability Initiatives
For 2025, the directors recommended a final cash dividend of Rs. 2 per share following the company’s 1:5 share split in 2024.
The company also reported several environmental, social and governance initiatives. These included increasing solar capacity, reducing grid consumption, strengthening e-waste management and improving employee training and inclusion. The report states that approximately Rs. 69 million was invested in local community initiatives during 2025.
Outlook
Looking ahead, Systems Limited says it will pursue a combination of organic growth, new customer acquisition, strategic partnerships and selective acquisitions. The company also plans to deepen its presence in international markets while expanding AI and data-led services.
At the same time, the company identifies currency movements, political and macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical tensions, customer spending delays and margin pressure as risks that could affect future performance.
Overall, the 2025 annual report presents a picture of a technology company expanding its international footprint while investing heavily in AI, talent, acquisitions and digital capabilities. The combination of higher revenue, improved profitability and geographic diversification forms the central theme of Systems Limited’s performance during the year.
