This takes cumulative earnings for the 9MFY23 of the fiscal year to PkR5.8bn, a decline of 62%YoY majorly attributable to low production amid restrictions on LCs.

Gross margins for 9MFY23 have been recorded at 0.1% while clocking in at 8.6% in the SPLY.
- INDU has posted Other Income of PkR3.03bn in the quarter, down by 12%YoY owing to a decline in ST investments which offset the impact of higher rates, while dropping by 5%QoQ. To recall, ST investments have declined to ~PkR65bn by the end of 2QFY23.
- INDU has posted operating profit of PkR1.9bn in 3QFY23 vs an operating loss of PkR1.4bn in 2QFY23. To note, operating margins posted at 4% during the quarter compared to 2.9% in 2QFY23
