For the first nine months of FY2025-26, EPS rose to Tk4.59 from Tk3.49 a year ago.
The company attributed the 31.5% year-on-year growth in quarterly earnings to higher sales revenue and improved cost management.
Net operating cash flow per share increased to Tk15.44 from Tk10.22 during the period, driven by higher cash collections from customers, while net asset value per share stood at Tk49.53 as of 31 March 2026.
Navana Pharmaceuticals is also advancing a €26.61 million foreign loan facility with a 12-year tenure from Germany-based AKA Ausfuhrkredit-Gesellschaft mbH, arranged by KGMC Financial Service, Bangladesh.
Subject to regulatory approvals and due diligence, the financing will be used to expand the company’s production capacity.
