Karachi (Special Correspondent): International Packaging Films Limited (IPAK) Group has recorded 66% increase in its revenues for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2025, demonstrating a strong trajectory of both topline expansion and bottom-line growth amidst a challenging macroeconomic environment.
The Group\u2019s consolidated revenue reached PKR 26.04 billion for the nine-month period compared to PKR 15.69 billion during the same period last year.
Quarter-on-quarter, Q3 revenue stood at PKR 9.8 billion, reflecting a 13.6% increase over Q2 revenue of PKR 8.6 billion, and a remarkable 75% growth over Q3 of last year\u2019 PKR 5.6 billion.
The consolidated EPS for Q3 stood at PKR 0.59, up 25.5% from the previous quarter\u2019s PKR 0.47 and 31.1% higher than Q3 of last year\u2019s PKR 0.45. Cumulative EPS for the nine-month period now stands at PKR 1.40.
This growth has been driven by successful expansion into export markets and diversification into new product lines, reinforcing the Group\u2019s market leadership in the flexible packaging films sector.
On a standalone basis, IPAK reported revenue of PKR 4.1 billion in Q3, marking a solid 51% increase over Q2 revenue of PKR 2.7 billion. While this reflects a marginal 3% dip compared to Q3 of the previous year\u2019s PKR 4.2 billion, it reaffirms the Company\u2019s growth trajectory.
IPAK recorded rising earnings per share on both consolidated and standalone levels, driven by higher volumes that are translating into improved profitability.
Standalone EPS for Q3 surged to PKR 0.36, up significantly from PKR 0.06 in Q2, and is broadly in line with PKR 0.38 reported in Q3 of the previous year. This brings the cumulative EPS for the nine-month period to PKR 0.44, signaling a strong return to consistent profitability.
EBITDA stood at PKR 1.75 billion on a standalone basis and PKR 3.57 billion on a consolidated basis, further reinforcing the strong cash generation and operational leverage achieved during the period.
IPAK\u2019s export business continues to scale rapidly, with the Group successfully expanding its footprint across the Middle East, Asia, Africa, the US, and Europe. Foreign exchange revenues have crossed USD 22 million during the current financial year\u2014underscoring the Group\u2019s growing role in supporting national objectives through non-traditional exports.
With the successful commissioning of major group-level expansions and continued stabilization across entities, operational synergies are gradually materializing. These efficiencies\u2014spanning shared procurement, centralized planning, and resource optimization\u2014are contributing to a more flexible and sustainable cost structure, and will continue to strengthen going forward.
IPAK remains on an upward trajectory, with growth no longer limited to revenue alone\u2014profitability is now gaining momentum, and operational efficiencies are improving steadily.
The Group\u2019s performance continues to outpace broader industry trends despite persistent macroeconomic volatility, and the management remains committed to driving sustainable value creation for\u00a0shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
