Aitken Spence Reports Strong Q1 FY2026/27 Performance as PBT Surges 74% to Rs. 1.74 Billion
Aitken Spence PLC opened FY2026/27 with strong earnings growth, recording a 74% increase in Group Profit Before Tax (PBT) to Rs. 1.7 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Group Profit After Tax (PAT) rose 158% to Rs. 1.0 billion, while EBITDA increased 23% to Rs. 5.3 billion compared with the same period last year, reflecting improved underlying performance across several businesses.
The Group’s stronger profitability was supported by higher other operating income and increased contributions from equity-accounted investees. Profit attributable to equity holders surged 172% to Rs. 1.5 billion during the quarter.
Among the key contributors were the Port City BPO venture, bunkering operations and overseas port management business, which recorded improved performances during the period.
The Maritime & Freight Logistics sector remained a major contributor, with PBT rising 58.2% to Rs. 1.7 billion. The growth was driven mainly by higher volumes handled by the Group’s liner operations, alongside stronger performances in overseas port management, freight forwarding and container services.
Meanwhile, the Tourism sector recorded a PBT loss of Rs. 1.0 billion, largely due to weaker demand from the UK and European markets amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East. The impact was partly offset by improved results from destination management and airline GSA businesses.
The Strategic Investments sector also delivered a notable turnaround, recording a PBT of Rs. 650 million compared with a loss in the corresponding period of the previous year. The improvement was driven by stronger operational performance and favourable foreign exchange gains.
