A growth of 23.98% was registered in gross profit reaching Rs612.3 million in 1QFY24 compared to Rs493.88 million recorded in 1QFY23.

Assets Analysis The rise in long-term asset investments, such as property, plant, and equipment, was partly due to the company's improved financial success. With a small rise of 0.78%, the non-current assets increased slightly from Rs10.65 billion in June 2023 to Rs10.73 billion in September 2023. From Rs6.75 billion in June 2023 to Rs7.438 billion in September 2023, the current assets increased dramatically by 10.20%. This demonstrates that by investing more in short-term assets like cash, accounts receivable, and inventories, the company has enhanced its liquidity position. As a consequence of the increase in both current and non-current assets, the company's total assets increased from Rs17.405 billion in June 2023 to Rs18.176 billion in September 2023, representing a growth of 4.43%.

Equity and Liabilities Analysis

With an increase of 2.20%, the total equity as of September 2023 was Rs12.03 billion, up from Rs11.77 billion in June 2023. This suggests that the company has raised more money during this time. From Rs2.41 billion in June 2023 to Rs2.49 billion in September 2023, the non-current liabilities showed an incremental rise of 3.23%. This rise demonstrates the company's increased commitment over the long term to pay for other expenses as well as the capital investment. The current liabilities surged by 119.12% from Rs1.667 billion in June 2023 to Rs3.65 billion in September 2023. The increased investment and operational activity over this time are most likely the source of this surge.
