Karachi: Engro Holdings Ltd. (ENGROH) announced its fourth-quarter earnings for the calendar year 2025, revealing a significant 41% increase in consolidated earnings to PkR13.6 billion, or PkR11.3 per share, compared to PkR9.6 billion, or PkR8.0 per share, in the same period last year. The results, which exceeded analysts' expectations, were primarily driven by the reversal of administrative costs and lower-than-expected taxation. No dividend was declared due to the company’s increased cash requirements for the acquisition of Deodar.
According to AKD Securities Limited, Engro Holdings reported an administrative expense reversal of PkR1.3 billion, likely due to adjustments in transaction fees related to the Deodar acquisition. Clarity on the specifics of this reversal is awaited. The company’s energy portfolio contributed an estimated PkR4.3 billion, or PkR3.6 per share, with contributions from EPTL, SECMC, and EPQL accounting for PkR3.0, PkR0.5, and PkR0.0 per share, respectively.
Meanwhile, Engro Fertilizers (EFERT) experienced a 19% year-on-year decline in earnings to PkR8.4 billion during the fourth quarter of 2025. This decline was attributed to a higher discount offering during the quarter despite increased urea offtakes and elevated taxation levels. As the company progresses with its strategic acquisitions, market observers are keen to see how these financial maneuvers will impact Engro Holdings' future performance.
