DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Directors are Financial Review


During the period under review, the Company sold 1,422 tractors,
pleased to present a decline of 62.52% compared to the 3,794 units sold during the
the condensed corresponding period last year. This downturn is primarily influenced
by macroeconomic uncertainty, challenging taxation environment, and
interim financial continued pressure on farmer economics. Farmers, already affected by
information of the wheat crisis of the previous year, faced additional constraints due
to the discontinuation of the Punjab Government’s wheat procurement
Al-Ghazi Tractors program – a development that further tightened rural liquidity and
negatively affected the purchasing capacity within the Company’s core
Limited (“the customer base.
Company”) for the
Contributing further to the subdued demand is the limited availability
period ended 31 of affordable tractor financing which hindered farmers’ ability to invest
March 2025. in mechanization. In parallel, the rollout of Punjab Government’s Green
Tractor Scheme, while well intentioned, led to distortion of the seasonal
buying pattern. Early indicators suggest that the total industry volume
in 2025 may contract, posing ongoing challenges to recovery in the near
term. However, recent developments such as the Punjab Government’s
approval of a Rs. 15 billion relief package under the Kisan Card for wheat
farmers signal renewed policy attention towards revival – offering
cautious optimism for improved farmer liquidity and a potential support
to the sector.

Despite these challenges, the Company during the period under review
secured a Sales Revenue of Rs.3.64 billion, representing a decrease
of 61.71% compared to the revenue of Rs.9.50 billion recorded in the
corresponding quarter of the previous year. The cost of sales also saw a
decrease of 61.34% to Rs.2.86 billion from Rs.7.39 billion in the previous
corresponding period. The gross profit for the quarter ended on March 31,
2025 reached Rs.0.78 billion, reflecting a substantial decrease of 63.01%
from the gross profit of Rs.2.11 billion accrued during the corresponding
period of the last financial year. Furthermore, the Company earned an
operating profit of Rs.0.15 billion during this period, marking a decrease of
89.26% compared to Rs. 1.44 billion during the same period last year.

During the period under review, distribution expenses amounted to Rs.


0.13 billion, reflecting a 26.11% decrease compared to the same period
in the financial year 2024. Whereas administrative expenses totaled Rs.
0.41 billion, showing a slight increase of 3.69% compared to the
corresponding period.

The post-tax profit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025,
amounted to Rs. 0.06 billion, representing a substantial decrease of
93.13% compared to Rs. 0.85 billion for the same period last year. The
earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter under review are Rs. 1.01, which
is significantly lower than the Rs. 14.72 reported for the same period last
year.
First Quarter Report for the period ended March 31, 2025 05

The Company’s annexed financial statements have been recommended


by the Audit Committee of the Board and are authorized by the Board for
placement on the Company’s website.

Future Outlook
Despite the aforementioned challenging business environment, the
Company remains steadfast in its commitment to prudent operational
management and long-term strategic resilience. During the period, the
Company successfully secured a tender for the supply of 1,000 tractors
(below 85 HP) under the Government of Punjab’s Wheat Tractor Scheme
— a development that reinforces confidence in the Company’s product
portfolio which is catering to the evolving demands of our customers
through continuous innovation.

The Company continues to closely monitor developments in the


macroeconomic and policy environment and remains focused on steering
through these challenges with disciplined execution, operational agility,
and a forward-looking strategic approach.

Acknowledgement
The Board would like to place on record all stakeholders, especially its
customers as well as the vendors and suppliers, for their continued
commitment and support to the Company. The Board would also like
to appreciate the contribution of all staff members of the Company for
performing their tasks with dedication, diligence and commitment in a
challenging business environment.
