Press Release

Walton Hi-Tech Industries PLC posted a 15.74 per cent year-on-year growth in product sales and earned a post-tax net profit of Tk224.74 crore in the first quarter of the 2026-27 financial year, despite various economic and business challenges.

The company's performance came amid persistent inflationary pressure, exchange rate volatility, rising financing costs and limited purchasing power at the consumer level, according to a press release.

Walton said its strategic planning, operational efficiency, effective working capital management and prudent financial management helped it maintain business stability and achieve growth in revenue, earnings per share (EPS) and net asset value (NAV) during the July-September period of 2026.

The information was disclosed in the company's published financial statements for the first quarter of the current financial year, covering the period from July to September 2026.

The unaudited financial statements were reviewed and approved at the 56th meeting of the company's Board of Directors on Wednesday (November 11, 2026).

According to the financial statements, Walton's net revenue stood at Tk1,679.43 crore in the first quarter, compared to Tk1,451.03 crore in the same period of the previous financial year, marking a 15.74 per cent increase.

The company's post-tax net profit rose to Tk224.74 crore during the quarter, up from Tk220.89 crore in the corresponding period of the previous financial year.

Meanwhile, Walton's earnings per share (EPS) increased to Tk6.74 for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, from Tk6.63 in the same period a year earlier.

The company's net asset value per share (NAVPS) stood at Tk287.06 without revaluation and Tk388.01 including revaluation during the reporting period.

Although the company's net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS) declined compared to the corresponding period of the previous financial year, Walton maintained a positive net operating cash flow, according to the published financial statements.

The company said its management continued to focus on disciplined working capital management, accelerating the collection of receivables, ensuring optimal payment cycles for suppliers and maintaining prudent liquidity management to strengthen operational efficiency and financial stability.

These measures are aimed at ensuring sustainable, long-term growth and creating value for stakeholders, the company added.
