Lotte Chemical Posts Robust Half-Yearly Growth; Profit After Tax Jumps to Rs. 742m

Lotte Chemical Pakistan Limited announced its un-audited financial results for the quarter and six months period ended June 30, 2025, with a significant improvement in profitability.

At its Board of Directors’ meeting held on August 21, 2025 in Karachi, the company reported that no cash dividend, bonus shares, or right shares were recommended for the period.

For 1H-FY25, Lotte posted a profit before tax of Rs. 1.23 billion, sharply higher than Rs. 146.7 million recorded in the same period last year. Profit after tax rose to Rs. 741.8 million, compared to Rs. 79.9 million in 1H-FY24.

Earnings per share (EPS) stood at Rs. 0.49, up from Rs. 0.05 a year earlier, reflecting strong operational performance and improved margins.

The results underscore Lotte Chemical’s turnaround momentum, driven by better product spreads and operational efficiencies, despite ongoing volatility in global petrochemical markets.
