RAK Ceramics (Bangladesh) Ltd returned to profit in the first half of 2026 as higher sales, increased production and improved gas pressure helped the ceramic maker recover from losses a year earlier.
The company reported consolidated EPS of Tk0.05 for January-June 2026, compared with a loss per share of Tk0.49 in the same period last year.
For the April-June quarter, consolidated EPS stood at Tk0.18, compared with a loss per share of Tk0.43 in the corresponding period of 2025, according to a disclosure submitted to the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) on Monday.
RAK Ceramics said sales rose 20.67 per cent year-on-year to Tk374.15 crore during January-June from Tk310.05 crore, driven by higher sales volume and increased production supported by improved gas pressure.
The company’s net profit after tax turned around to Tk2.28 crore from a loss of Tk21.04 crore a year earlier.
The improvement came mainly from higher revenue, stronger gross margins and changes in income tax regulations, the company said.
Gross profit margin improved to 19.24 per cent from 14.97 per cent, helped by lower depreciation expenses, which reduced the cost of goods sold.
However, NOCFPS declined to Tk0.12 during January-June 2026 from Tk0.16 a year earlier as operating cash flow came under pressure from higher purchases to support increased production and settlement of outstanding supplier balances.
RAK Ceramics’ NAV stood at Tk15.08 per share as of 30 June 2026, compared with Tk15.73 a year earlier.
The company’s shares rose 2.61 per cent to close at Tk31.50 on the DSE on Monday.
