DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2022
We the undersigned for and on behalf of the Board of Directors hereby present un-audited condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Global container terminal industry continues to experience Covid-19 disruptions during 2022 in the form of lockdowns, port congestions and low vessels schedule reliability. Resultantly Pakistan container market declined during Q1 2022. The uncertain political situation, growing inflation and Pak Rupee depreciation has further impacted the trade.
These Global and local factors have also impacted the Volumes handled by your Company, which handled 108,824 containers during Q1-2022 as compared to 126,528 containers handled in the corresponding period last year.
Excess capacity available at Karachi Port remains a challenge that is being mitigated through various commercial and operational strategies backed up by continued quality services. Your Company remains determined in providing enduring value for all its stakeholders and has continually endeavoured to retain sustainable market share.
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2022
(Rupees in million)
Revenue | 3,036 | |
Gross Profit | 1,392 | |
Profit before taxation | 1,309 | |
Profit after taxation | 929 | |
Un appropriated profit brought forward | 1,452 | |
Un appropriated profit carried forward | 2,381 | |
Earnings per Ordinary Share - Basic and Diluted | (Rupees) | 8.51 |
Your Company recorded revenue of Rs. 3,036 million which is 4% higher than the same period last year. Through operational excellence and concerted efforts for cost optimization, your Company posted a Gross Profit of Rs 1,392 million. The Net Profit for the quarter remained at Rs. 929 million which is 3% lower than the corresponding period last year.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Geopolitical events are negatively impacting previous expectations for Global trade growth in 2022. Shocks to the sourcing of key materials and higher global transportation costs will depress trade growth further than the current expectations. Elevated sea freight rates and international port congestion remain major sources of trade disruption. These logistics obstacles are not expected to dissipate until late 2022.
