NETSOL Technologies, one of the leading providers of software solutions for the global asset finance and leasing industry, announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2023-24, reporting significant growth in revenue and profitability.
The company achieved a remarkable 21% increase in its topline, recording a net turnover of PKR 9,281 million, up from PKR 7,670 million in the previous fiscal year. This growth was driven by several key factors, including a strong performance in license sales and their service offerings.
License sales for the year contributed PKR 802 million, which included the provision of the NFS Ascent® platform to customers of associated companies. On the services side, NETSOL recorded PKR 3,781 million, a notable increase from PKR 3,405 million last year, driven by enhancements and customizations to systems deployed at customer sites. Additionally, the company’s subscription and support revenues rose to PKR 4,697 million, up from PKR 3,849 million in the previous fiscal year.
Despite inflationary pressures, the company maintained stable costs of revenue, resulting in an improvement in gross margins, which climbed to 45%, compared to 29% in the previous year. This, along with cost optimization initiatives, contributed to a significant rise in operating profits, which soared from PKR 235 million to PKR 1,887 million.
NETSOL’s net profit after tax for FY 2023-24 stood at PKR 1,384 million, slightly higher than the PKR 1,285 million reported last year. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) also saw growth, with basic and diluted EPS recorded at PKR 15.76 and PKR 15.63, respectively, compared to PKR 14.63 and PKR 14.59 in the corresponding period last year. The Company also declared a 30% final cash dividend to its shareholders ie., PKR 3/- per share.
