D.G. Khan Cement Company Limited (DGKC) and its subsidiaries have announced an extraordinary financial turnaround for the year ended June 30, 2025. The Group reported a consolidated profit after tax of Rs. 9.76 billion, a dramatic increase from Rs. 882.43 million in the previous year.
This staggering 1,005% year-on-year growth in profitability is attributed to robust revenue growth and a significant reduction in finance costs. The Board of Directors has recommended a final cash dividend of Rs. 2.00 per share (20%) for the year.
The Group’s consolidated revenue rose by 9.4% to Rs. 78.63 billion from Rs. 71.89 billion in FY2024. This top-line growth was efficiently managed, leading to a massive 70.5% expansion in gross profit, which reached Rs. 19.80 billion. This improvement indicates better control over the cost of sales and potentially more favorable market pricing.
The most impactful driver of the bottom-line surge was a 49.9% reduction in finance costs, which fell to Rs. 4.29 billion from Rs. 8.55 billion. This reflects successful debt management and a favorable interest rate environment.
The Group’s earnings per share (EPS) witnessed a meteoric rise, reaching Rs. 21.09 for FY2025, compared to Rs. 1.42 in the prior year. Following the release of the financials, the company’s share price went up by almost 2% contrary to market trend, showing strong demand.
