Strong sectoral performances drive CIC's robust 1HFY26 top and bottom-line growth

DIVERSIFIED conglomerate CIC Holdings PLC has reported a consolidated revenue of Rs. 41.6 billion for the first half of the financial year 2025/26 (1HFY26).

- 

The Group reported a solid top-line growth of 7.2% and an impressive bottom-line growth of 14.7% with Profit After Tax (PAT) increased to a significant Rs. 3.25 billion, compared to Rs. 2.83 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year.

In a statement CIC said the Group's performance was underpinned by strong margin recovery, improved operating efficiency, and continued demand resilience, despite the delayed onset of the Maha cultivation season due to delayed rainfall patterns and resultant higher stock holding.

Operating profit (EBIT) strengthened to Rs. 5.7 billion, recording 18.6% YoY growth, while profit before tax rose to Rs. 4.9 billion (up 19% YoY).

During the period under review, Crop Solutions remained the Group's largest revenue contributor, accounting for approximately 40% of consolidated revenue. Livestock Solutions (including Feeds and Nutrition) and Health and Personal Care each contributed around 22%, reflecting steady demand and continued operational strength. The Industrial Solutions segment contributed 9.33%, while Agri Produce accounted for around 6.6% of Group turnover.
