It declared a net profit of PKR357m (US$2.3m), against PKR423m earned in the same period last year. It shows profit dropped by 15.5 per cent due to a fall in revenue, which stood at PKR4.96bn from PKR5.68bn during this period.

Other factors that led to the profit fall were the increase in distribution cost, administrative expenses and finance cost, says a notification of the company to the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
