At-Tahur Limited (PSX: ATLH), a leading dairy producer, has unveiled a powerfully robust financial performance for the first quarter of its 2026 fiscal year, ending September 30, 2025. The company’s latest unaudited statements reveal a surge in profitability that significantly outpaces its already-strong revenue growth, signaling enhanced operational efficiency.
The standout figure from the report is a 75.53% year-on-year explosion in net profit after tax, which climbed to PKR 42.87 million, up from PKR 24.42 million in the same period last year. This dramatic increase in bottom-line earnings far exceeded the company’s top-line growth, indicating that a greater portion of each rupee earned is translating into profit.
“The company’s performance this quarter demonstrates a successful strategy of growth coupled with financial discipline,” the board stated in its report. “We are focusing on meeting customer needs through portfolio innovation and optimization of our value chain.”
Sales for the quarter reached PKR 1.55 billion, a substantial increase of 22.18% from the PKR 1.27 billion reported last year. While gross profit grew by a healthy 19.78%. The net profit margin expanded significantly to 2.76%, up 84 basis points from 1.92% a year ago. This means the company earned nearly a full percentage point more profit on every rupee of sales.
Consequently, earnings per share (EPS) saw a massive 81.82% jump, rising to PKR 0.20 from PKR 0.11, delivering enhanced value to shareholders.
The company’s strengthened financial position is also evident on its balance sheet. Cash and bank balances witnessed an 80.7% surge during the quarter, rising to PKR 298 million, which bolsters the company’s liquidity and resilience amid uncertain economic conditions.
This period of growth comes on the heels of a significant legal resolution for the company. Earlier this year, At-Tahur successfully navigated a prolonged debit block on its bank accounts, imposed by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in relation to an investigation against its CEO. With the Lahore High Court’s intervention and the subsequent de-freezing of accounts in June 2025, the company has regained full control over its financial operations, removing a major operational hurdle.
Looking ahead, management has indicated a continued focus on sustainable, profitable growth through new product development and expansion into untapped market regions, aiming to build upon its strong quarterly momentum.
At-Tahur Limited is a public company listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. Its principal activity is operating a dairy farm for the production and processing of milk and dairy products under the brand ‘Prema’. Its registered office is located in Lahore, with project operations in Kotli Rai Abubakar, District Kasur.
