Hayleys Group has posted robust results for the quarter ended 30 June 2026, with consolidated profit before tax jumping 61% year-on-year to Rs. 10.15 billion, driven by growth across transportation, consumer retail, and export sectors.

Hayleys Group delivered a strong opening quarter to its financial year, with consolidated revenue from continuing operations reaching Rs. 179.32 billion, representing a 38% increase compared to the corresponding period last year. The conglomerate's consolidated profit before tax surged 61% to Rs. 10.15 billion, while profit after tax climbed 86% to Rs. 5.92 billion, reflecting broad-based operational improvements across its diversified portfolio.

The quarter's performance was underpinned by robust expansion in multiple sectors. The transportation and logistics division led growth with an 84% revenue increase to Rs. 42.88 billion, benefiting from improved operating conditions. Consumer and retail operations also maintained momentum with revenue rising 46% to Rs. 49.22 billion, supported by strategic market initiatives and expanded product offerings. Export-oriented sectors contributed 24% revenue growth, driven by value-added product focus and favourable exchange dynamics. Consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation rose 46% to Rs. 18.11 billion, while earnings before interest and tax increased 53% to Rs. 14.02 billion.

The domestic operating environment remained relatively stable, supported by sustained demand and improving credit conditions, according to the company. However, global operations faced headwinds from geopolitical tensions that periodically disrupted energy markets and supply chains, creating volatility in commodity and freight costs. Despite these external pressures, the group's diversified geographic and sectoral exposure enabled effective navigation of challenging conditions.

Hayleys maintained focus on sustainability throughout the period, managing a workforce of over 38,300 employees. The company contained growth in greenhouse gas emissions at 2% despite expanded operational footprint, while reducing emissions intensity by 18%. Recent capacity expansions across high-potential sectors are expected to strengthen future earnings, the group stated.
