Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) announced its financial results for the first quarter of FY25 (ended September 2025), reporting an EPS of Rs. 7.4 and profit after tax of Rs. 20.1 billion.
The result reflects a 13% decline compared to the last four-quarter average and a 15% drop year-on-year.
Despite the earnings dip, the company declared a cash dividend of Rs. 2 per share.
Revenue during the quarter fell 6% compared to the recent four-quarter average and 14% year-on-year, mainly due to lower production and realized prices.
Gross profit also softened, down 9% versus the four-quarter average and 15% YoY, bringing the gross profit margin to 61%, slightly below the previous average of 63%.
PPL’s other income amounted to Rs. 2.0 billion, while the effective tax rate rose modestly to 35% from an average of 34% in prior quarters.
The company holds an unquoted investment portfolio, which has yet to generate income. The Government of Pakistan remains the majority shareholder, owning approximately 67% of PPL’s equity.
The stock maintains significant representation in major PSX indices, including KMI-30 (6.0%) and KSE-30 (3.8%), and is Shariah compliant.
