Company Overview

Ittehad Chemicals Limited (PSX: ICL) is a Pakistani manufacturer of industrial chemicals. The company was incorporated on September 28, 1991, and was privatised on July 3, 1995. Its registered address listed by PSX is 39 Empress Road, Lahore, Pakistan. The company’s financial year ends on June 30.

These products serve industrial and commercial customers across different applications.

Business Model and Industry Exposure

The company manufactures and sells chemicals used in industrial processes. Its performance can be influenced by demand from customer industries, production costs, energy prices, raw-material availability, plant utilisation, and selling-price movements. Changes in operating costs or competitive conditions may affect profit margins even when sales increase.

Investors researching ICL should review annual and quarterly financial statements to understand revenue growth, gross profit margins, finance costs, operating cash flow, capital expenditure, and debt levels. Comparing several reporting periods can help distinguish sustainable operating improvement from temporary changes in costs or selling prices.

Financial Performance

PSX-reported annual figures for the financial year ended June 30, 2026, show sales of approximately Rs34.31 billion, profit after taxation of approximately Rs1.56 billion, and earnings per share (EPS) of Rs15.58. For FY2025, the corresponding figures were approximately Rs27.86 billion in sales, Rs1.30 billion in profit after taxation, and EPS of Rs12.98.

These historical results indicate higher reported sales and profit in FY2026 than in FY2025. They should be assessed alongside margins, cash generation, financing requirements, and the company’s latest disclosures rather than treated as a forecast of future performance.
