RMPL 1HCY26 profit rises 6%

Rafhan Maize Products Company Limited (PSX: RMPL) posted a 6% rise in net profit for the six months to June 30, 2026, according to Mettis Global. Net profit reached Rs4.11bn, compared with Rs3.87bn in the same period last year, and earnings per share climbed to Rs445.43 from Rs418.57. Alongside the figures, the company declared a cash payout of Rs60 per share.

Revenue rose 5% to Rs38.19bn from Rs36.53bn, while cost of sales increased 5% to Rs30.29bn, lifting gross profit 3% to Rs7.89bn. Distribution costs grew 11% and administrative spending rose 7%, but a 9% drop in other income, partly offset by a 5% fall in other expenses, left operating profit almost unchanged at Rs6.74bn, up 0.8%. Lower finance costs, which fell 26% to Rs271.72m, helped pre-tax profit increase 3% to Rs6.47bn.

Taxation fell 3% to Rs2.36bn from Rs2.44bn, and the publisher credits the profit gain to modest revenue growth, tighter control over non-operating outlays and lower finance charges. Mettis Global presents the figures in a statement of profit or loss covering the half-year.
