Chairman’s Review
I am pleased to present the unaudited condensed interim financial information of the
Company for the nine months ended December 31, 2024.
MACROECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Pakistan’s economy has maintained its positive momentum, with key indicators demonstrating
significant improvement. This progress is the result of a combination of factors, including
the implementation of supportive monetary policies, assistance from international financial
institutions, and a steadfast commitment to structural reforms. Consequently, GDP growth
is projected to accelerate to 3.4% in FY25, up from 2.5% in the previous year. Furthermore,
enhanced management of the external account, easing inflationary pressures, and an
increase in non-debt foreign inflows are expected to further stimulate economic activity and
contribute to sustainable growth.
On the external front, the current account posted a surplus of USD 1.21 billion during the
first half of FY25, a remarkable improvement compared to the deficit of USD 1.40 billion in
the same period last year. Exports grew by 7.2%, reaching USD 16.2 billion, which helped
narrow the trade deficit to USD 11.5 billion. However, on a year-on-year (YoY) basis, the trade
deficit rose by 12.5%, driven by increased import volumes due to higher economic activity.
Home remittances provided crucial support, recording robust YoY growth of 32.8% to reach
USD 17.8 billion. Consequently, foreign exchange reserves rose significantly to USD 16.4
billion, reflecting a 30% increase compared to the same period last year.
The country also made progress in controlling inflation, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
declining to 4.1% in December 2024. This enabled the State Bank of Pakistan to reduce
the policy rate by 200 basis points to 13%, marking a cumulative reduction of 900 basis
points since June 2024. Consequently, the PSX 100 index reached historic highs, surpassing
115,000 points. However, fiscal collections fell short of the estimated target by Rs. 386 billion.
Pakistan’s agricultural sector is expected to witness modest growth of 2.1% in FY25, primarily
due to climate-related disruptions, lower wheat prices, and a decline in cotton cultivation.
Nevertheless, the adoption of advanced mechanization techniques and improved access
to farm inputs have yielded positive results, particularly in sugarcane and rice production.
The significant increase in agricultural machinery imports during FY25 indicates growing
investment in farming technology, which is expected to drive productivity gains over time. As
farming efficiency improves, it is likely to stimulate sustained demand for consumer durables
in rural areas, contributing to broader economic growth.
The Large-Scale Manufacturing Industries (LSMI) sector in Pakistan recorded a contraction of
1.25% during the first five months of the fiscal year 2024-25, compared to the same period
last year. However, a notable aspect of this trend is that 11 out of 22 sectors have exhibited
considerable growth, with significant expansions observed in
industries such as automobiles, textiles, food and beverages, and Sales Growth
petroleum products. The continued easing of monetary policy is (Rs. in million)
likely to have a positive ripple effect, which may reinforce a broader +27% 9.5%
growth trajectory and suggest an encouraging outlook for the future. 6.8%
OPERATING RESULTS
146,855
During the nine months period ended December 31, 2024, the
115,417
Company achieved net sales of Rs. 146.8 billion, an increase of
27.2% compared to the corresponding period of the last year. The
gross profit increased from Rs. 7.8 billion to Rs. 14.0 billion, up by
79.1% as a result of higher sales volume, better sales mix and stable Dec Dec
exchange rates. Sales and marketing expenses rose to Rs. 2.84 2023 2024
billion, an increase of 22.5% attributable to promotional activities Sales Gross Profit (%)
and general inflation. Administrative expenses also increased by
04 Quarterly Report December | 2024
24.1% mainly due to inflation and CSR initiatives. Other income, net Profit Growth
of other operating expenses and financial charges, contributed an
impressive Rs. 6.7 billion to the bottom line on account of efficient +75%
85.84
treasury operations. The above factors supported the Company
49.01
in achieving nine months profit before tax of Rs. 17.0 billion as
compared to profit before tax of Rs. 10.3 billion in the same period
10,651
last year. Resultantly, the profit after tax for the nine months stood
at Rs.10.7 billion, up by 75.2%. This is translated into Earnings per
6,081
Share (EPS) of Rs. 85.84 against Rs. 49.01 in the corresponding
period of last year.
FUTURE OUTLOOK Dec
2023
Dec
2024
The economic outlook for Pakistan remains optimistic, with a Profit after tax (Rs. in million)
Earning per share (Rs.)
broad-based recovery gaining traction across key sectors. A
pivotal factor contributing to this stability has been the successful
rollover of IMF program and implementation of structural reform. This development has
not only bolstered investor confidence but also facilitated a more predictable economic
environment. Resultantly, business sentiment has experienced a significant boost. Upgrades
in credit ratings have enhanced the credibility, while reduced political uncertainty has
created a more favorable investment climate. The declining inflation rate, combined with
lower interest rates, is expected to have a positive impact on the economy. As purchasing
power improves, consumer demand is expected to increase. Looking ahead, sustaining
this positive momentum will hinge on the successful implementation of critical structural
reforms. By maintaining a strong focus on these key initiatives, Pakistan is well-positioned to
consolidate its economic achievements, drive sustained long-term sustainable growth, and
ultimately realize its full economic potential.
The Company is strategically aligned and dedicated to addressing challenges by enhancing its
operational performance and maintaining market leadership, with the objective of developing
a long-term business strategy that consistently generates value for stakeholders. In this
regard, the “Atlas Way” and “Atlas Systems” remain integral to our core business philosophy.

capital of the Company.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 Statement of compliance
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim
financial reporting. The accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan
for interim financial reporting comprise of:
- International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the

with the requirements of IAS 34 or IFAS, the provisions of and directives issued under
the Companies Act, 2017 have been followed.
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
3.1 The material accounting policies and the methods of computation adopted in the
preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with
those applied in the preparation of audited annual financial statements for the year
ended March 31, 2024.
There are certain International Financial Reporting Standards, amendments to
published standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the financial year
beginning on April 1, 2024. These are considered not to be relevant or to have
any significant effect on the Company’s financial reporting and operation and are,
therefore, not disclosed in these condensed interim financial statements.
3.2 Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using tax rate that would be
applicable to expected annual profit or loss.
3.3 Actuarial valuations are normally carried out on annual basis. The Board of Trustees,
passed the resolutions by circulation, on June 10, 2024, approved the revision of
the existing gratuity payable criteria. The new criteria changes from 15 days’ last
drawn basic salary for each year of eligible service to a graduated scale of gratuity
payable based on the length of eligible service, effective from June 1, 2024. In order
to ascertain the past service cost, the actuarial valuation was carried out on May
31, 2024. The impact of re-measurement of post-employment benefit plans has not
been incorporated in the condensed interim financial statements.
12 Quarterly Report December | 2024
3.4 Accounting guidance issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan
(ICAP) on accounting for minimum taxes and final taxes
During the period the Institute of Chartered Accountant of Pakistan (ICAP) have

issued guidance - “IAS 12 Application Guidance on Accounting for Minimum Taxes
and Final Taxes” vide its circular No.07/2024 dated May 15, 2024. The said guidance
requires certain amounts of tax paid under minimum and final tax regime to be shown
separately as a levy in accordance with IFRIC 21 ‘Levies’ and IAS 37 ‘Provision,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ instead of showing it in current tax.
Accordingly, the impact has been incorporated in these financial statements
retrospectively in accordance with the requirement of International Accounting
Standard (IAS 8) - ‘Accounting Policies, Change in Accounting Estimates and Errors’.
There has been no effect on the statement of financial position, the statement of cash
flows and earning per share as a result of this change.

The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements in conformity with
the approved accounting standards requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process
of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are
continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including the expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
During the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements, the
significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting
policies and the key sources of estimation of uncertainty were the same as those
that applied to the audited annual financial statements of the Company for the year
ended March 31, 2024.

13. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
13.1 Financial risk factors
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including
foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
There have been no significant changes in the risk management policies since the
year end.
The condensed interim financial information does not include all financial risk
management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements
and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 2024.
13.2 Fair value measurement of financial instruments
The carrying values of all financial assets and liabilities reflected in the financial
information are a reasonable approximation of their fair values.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation
method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
[Level 1].
- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived
from prices) [Level 2].
- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that
is, unobservable inputs) [Level 3].
