Reflecting this explosive profitability, the company's basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) nearly doubled, jumping to Rs24.86 from Rs12.60 in FY25. The primary driver of the stellar financial performance was a strong top-line expansion combined with a sharp reduction in debt servicing costs. ACPL’s revenue from contracts with customers surged by 33% year-on-year to reach Rs44.32bn, up from Rs33.31bn. Although the cost of sales grew by 27% to Rs32.23bn, revenue generation significantly outpaced direct production cost increases, allowing gross profit to expand by a robust 52% to settle at Rs12.09bn compared to Rs7.97bn in FY25.
