Monno Ceramic Industries posted a more than threefold rise in profit in the July-September quarter of fiscal 2025-26, driven by stronger revenue and improved operational efficiency.

According to a disclosure on the Dhaka Stock Exchange today, its earnings per share (EPS) stood at Tk 0.25 for the three months to September, compared with Tk 0.08 in the same period a year earlier.

The ceramics manufacturer said the increase was supported by stronger revenue and better operational efficiency, despite higher finance costs stemming from rising interest rates.

Its net operating cash flow per share slipped deeper into negative territory, at negative Tk 0.78 against negative Tk 0.26 a year earlier, due to higher cash payments to suppliers and increased interest expenses.

The company also reported a rise in net asset value per share, reflecting improved profitability.

As of October 31, sponsors and directors held 30.54 percent of shares, public 54.89 percent and the rest owned by institutions and foreign investors.

Established in 1984, Monno Ceramic is a leading porcelain and bone china tableware manufacturer and exporter in Bangladesh. It is a part of Monno Group, a diversified conglomerate with businesses spanning textiles, agriculture, research, and real estate.
