Performance Overview

Revenue surpassed the half-trillion rupee mark for the first time in history driven by the strong performance of the Consumer & Retail Sector and supported by the resilient performance of export-oriented businesses. Despite a contraction in profit margins driven by escalating commodity prices, Profit Before Tax rose by 4% to Rs.38.04 bn during the year. Hayleys PLC also strengthened its financial profile with a Rs.9 bn rights issue and Rs. 12.9 debenture issues - both of which were oversubscribed. Hayleys PLC also retained its AAA(lka) credit rating from Fitch Ratings with stable outlook.
