ISLAMABAD: Pakis­tan Telecommunication Company Ltd (PTCL) Group on Tuesday anno­unced its consolidated annual financial results for the year ended Dec 31, 2025 maintaining the loss streak.

The group made a net loss of Rs9.7 billion for 2025.

The mobile segment of the group, Ufone posted a revenue growth of 14pc year-on-year, its operating profit reached Rs17.6bn that is 283pc against 2024, yet the company still remains in net loss, which reduced significantly by 89pc.

The group loss was primarily driven by accelerated expected credit loss (ECL) provisioning at Ubank following revisions to the Prudential Regulations.

Ubank has strengthened its balance sheet by adopting IFRS 9, resulting in increased impairment allowances for ECL following updated regulatory requirements.

The group’s consolidated revenue increased by 12pc year-on-year, driven by strong performance in fixed broadband, enterprise, wholesale and mobile services. The consolidated operating profit grew 216pc year-on-year, underscoring strong operational performance.

Revenue grew by 12pc, led by 50pc growth in Flash Fibre and 16pc growth in business solutions compared to the last financial year.

The carrier and wholesale business has maintained momentum with 28pc growth.

PTCL’s operating profit reached Rs18.2bn, up 49pc YoY and posted a net profit of Rs1.4bn despite one-off booking of additional pension liability amounting to Rs6.9bn pursuant to the decision of the Supreme Court.
