Atlas Honda Limited (PSX: ATLH) reported a profit after tax of Rs. 9.62 billion for the half year ended September 30, 2025, reflecting a 45 percent increase from Rs. 6.62 billion in the same period last year.
The growth was supported by higher sales volumes and improved operational efficiency despite ongoing cost pressures.
Net sales rose 34.8 percent year-on-year to Rs. 125.34 billion, driven by strong motorcycle demand and price adjustments. The cost of sales increased by 29 percent, leading to a gross profit of Rs. 15.86 billion, nearly double the Rs. 8.08 billion earned a year earlier.
As a result, the gross profit margin improved to 12.7 percent, up from 8.7 percent, indicating enhanced pricing power and tighter cost control.
Operating expenses, including sales, marketing, and administrative costs, saw a moderate rise. However, other income fell 31 percent to Rs. 3.59 billion due to reduced investment returns, while finance costs increased 43 percent amid stricter monetary conditions.
