The other operating income of the firm saw a 66 percent YoY surge to Rs.2.48 billion, boosted largely by the divestment of the firm’s interest in Central Hospital (Pvt.) Ltd and the interest income from a Rs.40 billion rights issue the firm carried out for its proposed US $ 650 million integrated resort.

The consumer foods and retail sector reported a revenue of Rs.25.4 billion against a revenue of Rs.24 billion in the previous year.

The revenue of the information technology segment rose to Rs.7.5 billion in FY13/14 against Rs.6.5 billion in FY12/13. The after-tax profit of the segment however edged up only to Rs.245 million from Rs.231.4 million.
