The company reported total revenue of Rs. 2.10 billion, down 9.57% year-over-year from Rs. 2.36 billion in Q4 2023/24. Sequentially, revenue showed weakness across quarters, with the highest drop of 21.80% in Q3, signaling pressure on underwriting and premium collections.
Gross profit stood at Rs. 1.15 billion, with a margin of 54.54%, down from 65.64% last year but still reflecting solid operational efficiency in underwriting and investment income. Net income declined to Rs. 364.97 million, a significant fall from Rs. 612.13 million last year, bringing the net margin down to 17.35% from 25.88%.
For shareholders, EPS (annualized) was Rs. 12.05, almost halved compared to Rs. 20.21 last year. The PE ratio stood at 46.23, indicating higher market valuation relative to earnings.
