Lub-rref Bangladesh has reported a weaker first quarter for the 2025-26 fiscal year, with key profitability indicators deteriorating compared with the same period a year earlier.
The company posted a loss per share of Tk0.82 for July-September, widening from Tk0.48 in the corresponding quarter of 2024, marking a 70.8 percent increase in losses.
The deeper loss was driven by interest expenses of Tk10.34 crore and a thin gross margin of 6.2 percent caused by elevated cost of goods sold during the quarter, according to the company’s latest financial statements.
Net Operating Cash Flow Per Share fell to negative Tk0.21 from a positive Tk1.05 a year earlier, as slower customer collections and higher cash outflows pushed operating cash flow into negative territory at Tk3.04 crore.
Net Asset Value (NAV) per share also edged down. With revaluation, its NAV stood at Tk31.89 on 30 September, compared with Tk32.72 on 30 June 2025, a decrease of 2.5 percent.
Without revaluation, NAV per share was Tk27.93 on 30 September 2025, down from Tk28.75 on 30 June.
