ISLAMABAD: Fauji Cement Company Limited (FCCL) announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2025, reporting robust growth in earnings. The company posted a profit after tax of Rs3.92 billion in 4QFY25, translating into earnings per share (EPS) of Rs1.6, up 231 percent year-on-year (YoY) and 69 percent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ).

Alongside the results, the Board of Directors, in a meeting held at the company’s head office in Rawalpindi on August 8, recommended a final cash dividend of Rs1.25 per share (12.5 percent) for FY25. No bonus shares or rights issue were announced. The payout, however, came in below industry expectations, according to Topline Securities.

Hiked royalty rate in KP to increase cement prices

Net revenue for 4QFY25 rose 6 percent YoY and 13 percent QoQ to Rs21.8 billion, driven by higher domestic and export dispatches as well as stronger domestic retention prices. Domestic sales grew 6 percent YoY and 2 percent QoQ to 1.18 million tonnes, while exports surged 8 percent YoY and nearly fivefold (427 percent) QoQ to 0.20 million tonnes.

For the full fiscal year, FCCL’s dispatches reached 5.4 million tonnes, up 6 percent from 5.1 million tonnes last year. Annual net revenue climbed 11 percent YoY to Rs88.96 billion.

FCCL increases captive power reliance

The company’s gross profit margin improved to 35 percent from 32 percent in FY24, supported by higher sales volumes, better prices, cost optimisation measures, increased use of local coal and alternative fuels, in-house polypropylene (PP) bag production, enhanced captive power generation, and lower finance costs due to reduced interest rates.

Gross margins for 4QFY25 stood at 39 percent, up from 32 percent in the previous quarter, aided by higher domestic retention prices and a more efficient coal and fuel mix. Captive power reliance rose to about 55 percent in FY25 from 48 percent in FY24.

The Board also approved the expansion of FCCL’s PP bag manufacturing plant at Hattar to meet 100 percent of the company’s in-house requirements.

FCCL’s 33rd Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on September 30, 2025, at Pearl Continental Hotel, Rawalpindi. The share transfer books will remain closed from September 24 to September 30.
