Executive summary
Gharibwal Cement Limited reported its financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2026, showing a sharp 97% decline in profit after tax to PKR 9.068 million due to a suspended kiln ID fan causing reduced dispatches and higher clinker costs. Management expects the replacement kiln ID fan to be completed during November 2026, enabling a progressive operational recovery.
Key takeaways
- Net sales for the first quarter ended September 30, 2026, decreased to PKR 3,852,080 thousand from PKR 4,928,319 thousand in the same period last year.
- Profit after tax fell by 97% to PKR 9,068 thousand (EPS: PKR 0.02) compared to PKR 277,582 thousand (EPS: PKR 0.69) previously.
- Gross profit declined by 54% to PKR 298,967 thousand owing to a 31% drop in cement dispatches and higher costs from purchasing external clinker.
- The replacement of the damaged kiln ID fan is expected to be completed during November 2026, after which clinker production will resume.
- Management anticipates progressively recovering dispatch volumes and achieving planned annual dispatch targets by the end of the financial year.
