Pakistan’s total exports were US$2.3bn in June 2023, down 19% YoY, but up 7% MoM. Textile exports clocked in at US$1.4bn, down 14% YoY, but up 11% MoM, accounting for 63% of total exports. This takes FY23 textile exports to US$16.5bn, down 15% YoY. The sequential improvement can be attributed to higher order-flows for value-added textile exports mainly stemming from USA & Europe amid falling inflation rates and better consumer-purchasing power. KEY HIGHLIGHTS IN TEXTILE EXPORTS Value added te...

We expect the IMS Textile Universe to post combined core net profits of PKR1.8bn in 3QFY23, down 37% QoQ and 85% YoY. Finance costs are likely to elevate further after interest rate hikes during the quarter which would potentially offset higher exchange gains. Sales volumes are likely to decline further due to overall reduction in textile exports amid high inflation rates leading to lower demand in export markets. Rising energy prices also remains a key challenge for local manufacturers to co...

Nishat Mills Ltd (NML) has reported an unconsolidated NPAT of PKR4.2bn (EPS: PKR11.81) in 1QFY23, up 26% YoY, while more than triple that of the previous quarter.

* Despite the sharp downward revision in our target prices for the IMS Textile Universe, by 22% on average, we remain Overweight on the sector. The government’s policy of providing regionally competitive utility prices is vulnerable under the IMF program and global demand fares challenges, but valuations are already knocked down. * Global and local macroeconomic uncertainties have led us to further prune our revenue and earnings growth assumptions for FY23-24f by 1%/12%, respectively, f...
Nishat Mills Ltd (NML) has reported an unconsolidated NPAT of PKR1.3bn (EPS: PKR3.58) in 4QFY22, down 45% YoY and 64% QoQ, owing to significant margin attrition. We estimate core-textile operations to have incurred a loss of PKR88mn (LPS: PKR0.25), for the first time since 4QFY20. This takes FY22 EPS to a record PKR29.33, up 74% YoY. The 4Q result missed our EPS expectation of PKR4.94, largely owing to lower-than-estimated gross margin. The result was accompanied with a final DPS of PKR4.00, ...

* We expect our Textile Universe to post combined core net profits of PKR7.9bn in 4QFY22, down 8% YoY largely owing to one-off supertax and increased borrowing costs, which are likely to offset strong revenue growth and exchange gains. * In terms of core profits, both ILP and GATM are expected to lead our Textile cluster, largely attributed to strong Spinning and Value-added margins (latter especially in case of ILP). * Despite record exports in 4Q, the Textile sector significantly...

* We believe that the pillars supporting growth for the Pakistani Textile exports remain well-grounded, even as the sector is likely to enter a period of slower growth than in recent years amid global headwinds. * Nonetheless, we have pruned our growth assumptions for revenue and earnings growth in FY23-24f led by normalizing margins. This is driven expectations of muted global growth and softer purchasing power for global consumers amid inflationary pressures world over – which have be...
