For the nine-month period from April to December 2025, EPS stood at Tk158.09, compared to Tk145.65 in the corresponding period of the previous year.
Net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS) also showed notable improvement, rising to Tk109.79 for April–December 2025 from Tk88.35 in the same period of the previous year.
Meanwhile, the company's net asset value (NAV) per share declined to Tk92.22 as of 31 December, 2025, from Tk239.13 as of 31 March, 2025.
In its explanation, Marico said the increase in EPS during the third quarter of FY 2025–26 was driven by higher revenue growth and optimization of operating expenses. The rise in NOCFPS during the nine-month period was attributed to increased collection from customers.
The decline in NAV per share, however, was mainly due to the declaration of the final dividend for FY2024–25 and interim dividends for FY2025–26, the company added.
