Directors'

Review Report

Dear Shareholders

The Directors of Arif Habib Corporation Limited (AHCL) present herewith the Directors' report of the Company together with interim condensed consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements for the first quarter ended 30th September 2023.

The Economy

The fiscal year 2024 began on a positive note, with several encouraging signs in the economy. Pakistan entered a nine-monthStand-By Arrangement program with the IMF, amounting to USD 3 billion. The current account deficit reduced by more than half in the first two months of the first quarter of the current financial year, and inflation appears to have reached its peak in September 2023. Furthermore, foreign exchange reserves grew from USD 9 billion to USD 13 billion, marking a steady recovery of the Pakistani Rupee against the US Dollar. The KSE100 index also surged, gaining over 6,500 points in July 2023, reflecting growing investor confidence. The continuation of an unchanged monetary policy stance throughout the quarter provides potential support for economic growth.

Financial Results

During the reviewed quarter, our consolidated profit after tax stood at PKR 2,589.66 million, compared to PKR 2,045.80 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This resulted in earnings of PKR 6.34 per share, up from PKR 5.01 per share in the same period last year.

On an unconsolidated basis, we recorded a profit after tax of PKR 843.32 million, translating into earnings of PKR 2.07 per share, compared to PKR 482.86 million and earnings per share of PKR 1.18 in the corresponding period. This improved profitability is attributed to cash dividends from investee companies for the financial year 2023.

Performance of Subsidiaries and Associates

Performance of our subsidiary, Arif Habib Limited (AHL), has improved due to increase in volume and value of traded shares. Fatima Fertilizer Company Limited and Sachal Energy's wind power project maintained impressive performances. Javedan Corporation Limited's and Aisha Steel Mills Limited's performance remained marginal.

Quarterly Report 30th September 2023 05

Future Outlook

In the upcoming months, we anticipate the economy will achieve growth mainly due to better agricultural production, with the possibility of a change in monetary policy stance during the middle of the financial year as inflation trends are expected to come down. The Pakistani Rupee is expected to maintain its gains against the US Dollar in the short-term, although the removal of import restrictions may put pressure on its exchange rate. The Government's initiative of the Special Investment Framework for Cooperation (SIFC) is likely to attract investments from friendly countries in various sectors, and the Government efforts to combat smuggling, border trade abuse, Afghan transit trade, and foreign exchange manipulation, if sustained, will contribute to Pakistan's economic growth.

Acknowledgement

We extend our gratitude to the shareholders of the company for their unwavering confidence and support. We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to our bankers, business partners, the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan, the State Bank of Pakistan, and the management of Pakistan Stock Exchange for their invaluable support and guidance. The unwavering dedication and commitment of our employees during the period is acknowledged and deeply appreciated.

For and on behalf of the Board
