LAHORE:Â Packages Limited has demonstrated a formidable financial performance on a standalone basis for the first nine months of 2025, reporting a profit of Rs. 2.37 billion, a significant 84% increase compared to the Rs. 1.28 billion earned in the same period last year. This surge underscores the company’s strength as a holding and investment entity, distinct from its consolidated manufacturing operations.
The earnings per share (EPS) for the period stood at Rs. 26.48, nearly doubling from Rs. 13.65 in 2024. The driving force behind this growth was a substantial 30% rise in operating revenue, which reached Rs. 4.38 billion. This was primarily fueled by a jump in dividend income, which climbed to Rs. 3.82 billion from Rs. 2.93 billion, reflecting strong returns from the company’s extensive investment portfolio. Rental income also saw a healthy increase, contributing to the top-line growth.
The company’s financial position remained robust, with total assets growing to Rs. 77.79 billion as of September 30, 2025, up from Rs. 67.14 billion at the end of 2024. This was supported by a significant increase in long-term investments and loans to subsidiary companies. In a separate corporate announcement, the Board also approved an equity injection of up to PKR 1.40 billion into its wholly-owned subsidiary, StarchPack (Private) Limited, signaling continued investment in its core manufacturing ventures.
