Sanghar Sugar Mills Limited has announced its financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2025 (1QFY26), reporting a profit after tax of Rs127.38 million, reflecting a notable improvement compared to Rs87.93 million in the same period last year, according to a filing with the Pakistan Stock Exchange.

Earnings per share for the quarter increased to Rs10.66, up from Rs7.36 in 1QFY25. Net sales during the quarter stood at Rs1.29 billion, compared to Rs2.34 billion last year, as lower sales volumes were offset by improved margins and better cost control.

Despite a decline in topline, gross profit rose to Rs245.5 million, supported by a reduction in cost of sales. Operating profit increased to Rs182.5 million, compared to Rs151.2 million in the corresponding quarter last year.

Finance costs declined sharply to Rs13.6 million from Rs30.4 million, while other income remained modest. Profit before taxation stood at Rs169.5 million, reflecting stronger operational efficiency during the period.

The Board of Directors, in its meeting held on January 28, 2026, did not declare any cash dividend, bonus shares, or right issue for the quarter.

The results highlight Sanghar Sugar Mills’ ability to sustain profitability amid lower sales, supported by margin improvement, disciplined cost management, and reduced finance costs during the quarter.
