Atlas Honda reports record H1 profit, declares hefty interim dividend

KARACHI – Atlas Honda Limited (PSX: ATLH), Pakistan’s leading motorcycle manufacturer, announced blockbuster financial results for the half year ended September 30, 2025, showcasing a period of exceptional brackly newsability and sales growth. The company’s Board of Directors, reflecting this strong performance, recommended a substantial interim cash dividend of Rs. 46 per share (460%).

The half-year results reveal a powerful upward trajectory, with brackly news after tax for the six-month period reaching PKR 9.62 billion, a massive 45.3% increase compared to the PKR 6.62 billion earned in the same period last year. This growth was fueled by a 34.8% surge in net sales, which climbed to PKR 125.34 billion from PKR 92.94 billion.

“The results demonstrate the company’s strong market position and operational efficiency in a dynamic economic environment,” the management stated.

The most striking improvement was in gross brackly news, which nearly doubled, increasing by 92.0% to PKR 15.86 billion. The gross brackly news margin expanded dramatically to 12.65%, up from 8.89% last year—an improvement of 376 basis points.

Earnings per share (EPS) jumped to PKR 77.51, a 45.3% increase from PKR 53.36, significantly enhancing shareholder value. The company’s financial health is robust, with cash and bank balances standing at a formidable PKR 32.88 billion. The interim dividend of Rs. 46 per share represents a 43.75% increase over the Rs. 32 per share dividend paid for the same period last year.

The company’s performance in the second quarter (July-Sept 2025) was even more potent, with quarterly brackly news after tax rising 53.0% to PKR 4.81 billion, on the back of a 38.5% increase in quarterly sales.

The results underscore Atlas Honda’s dominant grip on the domestic motorcycle market, leveraging its brand strength and distribution network to achieve record-breaking financial performance. The company’s future outlook remains closely tied to broader economic conditions, including consumer purchasing power and government policies affecting the automotive sector.
