Fauji Fertilizer Rewards Shareholders After Exceptional 9-Month Results

Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited (FFC) has announced its exceptional financial results for the first nine months of 2026, showcasing a remarkable 11 percent increase in net profit to Rs. 64.2 billion compared to Rs. 57.6 billion in the same period last year. Reflecting the strong performance, FFC has raised its quarterly dividend to Rs.

18.5 per share, marking a significant 119 percent payout ratio. This dividend is the company's second-highest in recent times, following a record-breaking Rs. 21 per share payout earlier in the year. Despite a 8.9 percent decline in prilled and granular urea volumes and a 22.3 percent drop in Sona DAP volumes year over year, FFC experienced a stable net sales figure of Rs.

127.7 billion in Q3. The decline in margins, attributed to rising prices of phosphoric acid and DAP, was offset by inventory gains and improved urea prices. FFC's investment income, totaling Rs. 4.3 billion, contributed significantly to the overall financial boost, while finance costs surged by 93 percent to Rs. 3.3 billion due to increased borrowings.
