Engro Holdings posts Rs42bn 9-month profit

Engro Holdings Limited (ENGROH) announced its financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, posting a consolidated profit attributable to equity holders of Rs42 billion, translating into earnings per share (EPS) of Rs34.9, a 6.6-fold increase year-on-year. The sharp rise includes a one-off adjustment related to the company’s thermal power asset. Excluding this adjustment, the profit attributable to owners would have amounted to Rs15.2 billion (EPS: Rs12.6). For the third quarter of 2025, Engro Holdings reported a profit of Rs6.4 billion (EPS: Rs5.4), which came in below analyst expectations due to higher-than-anticipated finance costs and a significant rise in the effective tax rate (ETR). The company’s ETR stood at 47 percent in 3Q2025, compared with 12 percent in the preceding quarter, primarily because of the full consolidation of Deodar, which falls under the minimum turnover tax regime.
