AHCML Research has released a report on the upcoming financial results of Attock Cement Pakistan Limited. The company is expected to report a Profit After Tax (PAT) of PKR 656 million, translating to an earnings per share (EPS) of PKR 4.77 for 4QFY25. This reflects a significant decrease of 51.36% year-on-year (YoY).

For the quarter, sales revenue is anticipated to reach PKR 10,124 million, representing an increase of 47.95% YoY, driven by higher retention prices and an increase in export dispatches. Gross margins are estimated to be 18.34%, an increase of 0.37% YoY, attributed to the higher retention prices.

The average price of a 50kg cement bag increased by 11.62% YoY to PKR 1,412 in June 2025, up from PKR 1,265 in June 2024. In 4QFY25, coal prices averaged USD 89.57 per ton, which is a decline of 6.3% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) from USD 95.56 per ton in 3QFY25 and a decrease of 16.8% YoY from USD USD 107.70 per ton in 4QFY24.

The average discount rate was 11% in 4QFY25, down from 20.5% in 4QFY24 and from 12% in 3QFY25. This represents a notable decline of 9.5 percentage points YoY and 1 percentage point QoQ. As a result, we estimate a dividend per share (DPS) of PKR 3 for the period, reflecting the company’s improved profitability.

Local dispatches totaled 272,792 tons in 4QFY25, which is a decrease of 6% YoY from 290,716 tons and a decrease of 13% QoQ from 344,215 tons. Conversely, export dispatches rose by 89.5% YoY to 529,907 tons in 4QFY25, a significant increase from 279,661 tons in 4QFY24, and surged by 114% QoQ from 247,632 tons in 3QFY25.
