Fauji Foundation Group
- Fauji Fertilizer Company (FFC):
- Reported a strong first quarter in 2025, benefiting from its recent merger with Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim Limited (FFBL) effective July 2024. For Q1 2025, FFC’s sales rose to PKR 75,697.4 million (up from PKR 62,312.96 million), and net income climbed to PKR 17,400.81 million (up from PKR 12,560.16 million). EPS also increased significantly. Urea sales were down due to industry-wide weak farm economics and drought, but FFC’s market share improved to 49%, outperforming sector trends. The company announced a 70% interim cash dividend (Rs 7.00 per share) for the quarter.
- Strategic Moves: In March 2025, FFC’s board approved submission of an expression of interest to acquire a stake in Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), signaling plans to enter the aviation sector, subject to government privatization processes.
