Ismail Industries Limited (IIL), one of Pakistan’s premier industrial conglomerates, has announced its integrated annual results for the financial year ended June 30, 2026, demonstrating strong resilience and operational expansion despite ongoing macroeconomic and cost-side headwinds.
The Group reported an impressive 7.25% increase in consolidated gross sales, reaching PKR 150.2 billion. Standalone gross sales stood steady at PKR 120.57 billion, underpinned by solid domestic market growth, which surged by 30.60% to PKR 107.98 billion.
Key Financial Highlights (FY2025–26)
- Gross Sales: PKR 120.57 billion (vs. PKR 118.40 billion in FY25)
- Operating Profit: PKR 9.34 billion (vs. PKR 10.82 billion in FY25)
- Profit After Tax (PAT): PKR 3.95 billion (vs. PKR 5.75 billion in FY25)
- Earnings Per Share (EPS): PKR 59.59
- Recommended Final Cash Dividend: 50% (PKR 5.00 per share)
While domestic penetration remained strong across core FMCG lines, net earnings faced pressure due to elevated energy tariffs, increased raw material costs, higher interest rates, and enhanced tax levies.
Operational Strengths Across Core Verticals
The company’s backward-integrated business model continues to serve as its chief strategic advantage:
- Confectionery & Biscuits (CandyLand & Bisconni): Flagship brands continued category leadership. Premiumization initiatives through Bisconni Prime and wellness-focused Bisconni Active ranges drove high-value consumer traction.
- Flour & Grains (Ghiza): Operating a 240 TPD Bühler roller mill in Port Qasim, Ghiza provided consistent quality flour solutions for both domestic consumers and institutional needs.
- Flexible Packaging (Astro Films): With an installed annual capacity of 63,000 tonnes of film and 19,000 tonnes of metallization, Astro Films reinforced supply chain security for in-house brands while exporting globally.
- PET Resin & Circularity (Ismail Resin): Operating a 300 TPD PET facility, Ismail Resin significantly reduced annual losses by ~85% to PKR 274 million as capacity utilization rose to 74%. The division is also commissioning a 25,000-tonne bottle-to-bottle recycled PET (rPET) plant to spearhead circular packaging solutions.
- Pharmaceuticals & Nutrition (Hudson Pharma & Ismail Nutrition): Subsidiary Hudson Pharma achieved a major turnaround, posting a profit of PKR 237.9 million (up from a loss of PKR 197.5 million in FY25). Meanwhile, Ismail Nutrition and Cereal divisions expanded supply partnerships with international humanitarian agencies including WFP and UNICEF.
Global Reach & Strategic UAE Expansion
Expanding beyond its export footprint across 40+ countries, IIL advanced the construction of its state-of-the-art regional manufacturing platform in Abu Dhabi via Bisconni Middle East Manufacturing L.L.C..
The UAE facility—geared toward producing biscuits, enrobed wafers, and confectionery—is targeted to achieve its Building Completion Certificate by late 2026, with commercial operations slated for 2027. This hub will transition IIL from an export-led model to a locally anchored international manufacturing power, serving the GCC, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Looking Ahead
Commenting on the outlook, Chairman Muhammad M. Ismail and CEO Munsarim Saifullah emphasized disciplined capital allocation, supply chain agility, digital transformation through SAP S/4HANA, and first-time adoption of IFRS S1 & S2 sustainability disclosures. With strong brand equity, diversified revenue streams, and a expanding international footprint, Ismail Industries remains well-positioned for sustainable long-term value creation.
