Pakistan: Thatta Cement recorded net sales of US$19.1m during its 2022 financial year, up by 75% year-on-year from US$10.9m in its 2021 financial year. This included gross export sales of just US$3160, down by 99% from US$394,000 in the 2021 financial year. Thatta Cement's total cost of sales increased by 96% to US$18.1m from US$9.24m. Its raw material costs tripled to US$1.64m from US$546,000, while its fuel and power costs more than doubled to US$12.5m from US$5.89m. As a result, the producer recorded a profit for the year of US$387,000, down by 68% year-on-year from US$1.19m.

Chair Khawaja Muhammad Salman Younis said "The company showed better performance during the year, despite the tough market conditions, coupled with significant challenges and uncertainties due to political instability and the Russian-Ukraine war. Due to these factors, Pakistan’s economy remained under pressure throughout the year. Other economic factors such as the rise in energy prices in local and international markets, significant currency depreciation and a sudden hike in interest rates severely affected the industry's, as well as the company’s, performance." Noting the 'changing and challenging economic environment,' Younis said that Thatta Cement 'remained successful in achieving budgetary targets in terms of volumes and retention price.' He added "Our sales and marketing team put extra efforts into identifying the needs of our valued customers and explored new markets for the company, despite severe competition in the cement industry."
