Colgate Palmolive (Pakistan) Limited (COLG) reported earnings per share of PKR 75.78 for FY25, compared to earnings per share of PKR 71.23 in FY24.
Furthermore, in 4QFY25, the company reported earnings per share of PKR 17.69, compared to earnings per share of PKR 21.39 in the same period last year (SPLY).
The company has recently diversified into the cleaning supplies category and test-marketed a new detergent under the brand name Toofan. In addition, it has installed in-house solar capacity at Sundar plant capable of generating 367 MWh of energy annually.
Management highlighted that per capita annual toothpaste consumption in Pakistan stands at 85 grams, and the company is running awareness campaigns to encourage higher usage. This year proved particularly challenging for the detergent segment, as the growing presence of unregistered retailers disrupted the market. Many local players operating in the non compliant segment benefited from a lower cost of doing business, which in turn exerted downward pressure on compliant players and distorted overall market dynamics.
The company remains highly dependent on imported raw materials, with 75% sourced externally. A relatively stable exchange rate has supported gross margins. Within its portfolio, oral care continues to deliver the highest margins, while detergents generate the lowest. Management estimates a market share of 30–38% in detergents and 50–60% in dishwashing products. For FY26, management expects revenue growth expected to be in line with inflation.
