Lucky Cement Limited on Thursday announced its first-quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2026, reporting unconsolidated profit of Rs17.13 billion, up 17% from Rs14.62 billion in the same period last year. The company informed the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) that net revenue rose 21% to Rs41.07 billion from Rs33.86 billion a year earlier, supported by higher cement dispatches and improved retention prices. Gross profit rose to Rs15.13 billion from Rs13.28 billion in the corresponding quarter of FY26.

Lucky Cement Limited outperformed the country’s cement industry during the first quarter of FY27, posting stronger growth in domestic sales and overall dispatches despite a decline in exports.

According to details released alongside the company’s quarterly financial results, Pakistan’s domestic cement sales rose 8.7% year-on-year to 10.92 million tonnes during 1QFY27, while exports declined 11.2% to 2.30 million tonnes. Total industry sales increased 4.7% to 13.22 million tonnes.

Against this backdrop, Lucky Cement’s domestic sales climbed 13% to 1.83 million tonnes from 1.62 million tonnes a year earlier, surpassing the industry’s growth rate. Export volumes fell 1.9% to 0.81 million tonnes, a much smaller decline than the industry’s overall drop.

As a result, the company’s total cement and clinker sales rose 8% to 2.64 million tonnes during the quarter, up from 2.45 million tonnes in the same period last year.

The company also reported higher production volumes, with clinker production up 8.5% to 2.49 million tonnes and cement production up 13.7% to 2.23 million tonnes during the period.
