      Analysis

      'In FY 2023, Company has reported profit after tax of Rs. 5.66 bn. primarily on account of following elements:

      • Decrease in gross profit by 53.51% primarily due to unfavourable price regime and reduction in overall industry volumes.

      • Decrease in other income by 50.41% due to lesser receipt of late payment interest income from power sector in the current year.

      • Increase in finance cost substantially as compared to last year is mainly due to higher average policy rate of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) in FY 2023 and increased borrowings to finance the receivables related to circular debt.

        In FY 2023, net cash outflow from investing activities is due to additions in property, plant and equipment.

      • Financing Activities

        In FY 2023, cash flow from financing activities is positive primarily due to short term borrowings taken during the year to meet working capital requirements.
