Indus Motor profit after tax jumps 28% in 1HFY26

Published Updated

Indus Motor Company Limited (IMC), the assembler of Toyota vehicles in Pakistan, reported a significant increase in earnings for the half year ended December 31, 2025, as profit after tax rose nearly 28% year-on-year to Rs12.7 billion, compared to Rs9.96 billion in the same period last year, according to the company’s financial results.

As a result, the automaker’s earnings per share (EPS) climbed to Rs161.60, up from Rs126.69 in the corresponding half year of 2024.

The company shared this development in a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Friday.

IMC announced an interim cash dividend of Rs46 per share, i.e. 460% for the second quarter ending December 31, 2025.

The company’s revenue from customer contracts surged over 40% to Rs119.19 billion, compared to Rs84.88 billion a year ago, reflecting higher vehicle sales and price revisions. As a result, gross rose significantly, i.e., by 55%, to Rs 18.09 billion from Rs 11.69 billion in the same period last year.

On the expense side, distribution, administrative, and other operating expenses collectively increased to Rs3.32 billion, up from Rs2.52 billion in the prior year, reflecting a nearly 32% increase.

The company’s finance cost rose to Rs131.65 million from Rs99.53 million, while other income increased marginally to Rs8.22 billion against Rs8.18 billion a year earlier.

Before taxation, IMC’s profit before tax stood at Rs21.53 billion, compared to Rs16.39 billion in the same half of the year.

During the period, the company paid taxes to the tune of Rs8.83 billion, up by 37%.

Analysts believe that the company’s improved profitability comes amid signs of recovery in the auto sector, supported by easing import restrictions and a gradual pickup in consumer demand.
