Despite the challenging business environment, the country’s superbrand and tech giant Walton Hi-Tech Industries PLC, listed on the capital market, has posted a profit of Tk 642.94 crore at the end of the third quarter of the current 2025-26 financial year (July 2025-March 2026). The company’s profit during the period under review decreased by Tk 534.9 crore compared to the same period of the previous year. Despite the increase in total revenue, the company’s profit decreased slightly due to the increase in VAT, but there was a major improvement in operating cash flow, a press release said.
These data have emerged in the company’s unaudited financial report for the third quarter of the current financial year ended March 31, 2026. The report was released after being reviewed and approved by the company’s board of directors at its 51st meeting on Wednesday (April 29, 2026).
The major improvement in cash flow at the end of the third quarter of the 2025-26 financial year is being seen as a positive aspect for the company. The company’s net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS) stood at Tk 22.32 during the period under review, compared to a negative Tk 1.67 during the same period last year. Operating cash flow has strengthened due to increased customer collections and efficiency in liquid asset management.
According to the company’s financial report, priority has been given to internal cash collection rather than increasing reliance on bank loans during the period under review. Although income tax and VAT payments to the government treasury have increased due to the increase in VAT rate and increase in taxable income from other sources, the liquidity situation has strengthened due to effective working capital management.
According to the company’s financial report, the doubling of VAT at the production stage of important products including refrigerators and air conditioners, i.e. from 7.5 percent to 15 percent, has put additional pressure on the company’s selling expenses. Despite doubling the VAT, the prices of the products have not been increased considering the spending capacity of the customers.
According to the report, Walton’s net earnings per share (EPS) stood at Tk 19.29 paisa at the end of the third quarter ended March 31, 2026. It was Tk 20.90 paisa in the same period of the previous year. At the same time, the company’s net asset value per share (NAVPS) increased to Tk 265.70 paisa without revaluation and Tk 366.80 paisa with revaluation.
The report said that the management of Walton Hi-Tech has made some strategic changes in the commercial policy, including restructuring the company’s rebate structure, introducing target-based incentives for distributors. As a result, despite the challenges of exchange rates, inflation and the market, the company’s management is confident of maintaining stable growth in profit and other financial indicators in the coming quarters through improving the supply chain, cost control, financial discipline and strategic initiatives.
