Kohinoor Power Company Limited (KOHP) has announced a significant financial turnaround for the year ended June 30, 2025. The company reported a profit after tax of Rs. 10.92 million, a stark reversal from the loss of Rs. 15.73 million incurred in the previous year.
Consequently, the Board of Directors did not recommend any dividend for the year.
The return to profitability was primarily fueled by a dramatic reduction in operating costs. While rental income fell by 39.4% to Rs. 6.74 million, the company slashed its operating expenses by 88%, which decreased to Rs. 2.46 million from Rs. 20.46 million in FY2024. This included a major reduction in “other expenses,” which were negligible in the current year compared to Rs. 17.42 million previously.
A key factor in the bottom-line profit was a provision for income tax credit of Rs. 8.22 million, compared to a tax expense of Rs. 38.64 thousand last year. This tax credit significantly boosted the net result.
The company’s financial position strengthened, with total equity increasing to Rs. 122.11 million from Rs. 111.19 million. This improvement helped to further reduce the company’s accumulated losses, which now stand at Rs. 273.39 million.
