About the Entity

Texo Poly Industries (Pvt.) Limited was incorporated in Pakistan in 2015 as a private limited company. The Company is a family-owned business, with ownership concentrated among the founding family members under a formal Shareholders’ Agreement executed on May 15, 2015. The current shareholding comprises Mr. Malik Ahsan Younas, Chief Executive Officer, as the largest shareholder, and Mr. Usman Malik, Managing Director, as the second-largest shareholder, while other family members hold adequate shareholdings. The sponsors remain actively involved in the Company’s strategic direction and day-to-day operations, providing continuity in leadership and decision-making.

Rating Rationale

The ratings reflect Texo Poly Industries (Pvt.) Limited's ("Texo Poly" or the "Company") established position in Pakistan's plastic packaging industry, underpinned by its diversified product portfolio. The Company also benefits from recurring relationships with a well-established customer base, which provide stability to its revenue stream and support its competitive positioning. Texo Poly is a wholly family-owned enterprise whose sponsors possess extensive industry experience and technical expertise, enabling the Company to establish a reputable position in the domestic flexible packaging market. The Company manufactures a broad range of flexible plastic packaging products, with polythene products contributing the largest share of revenue. Demand is primarily driven by the FMCG, fertilizer, chemical, wheat, and rice sectors; however, the business remains exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates and international polymer prices due to its reliance on imported raw materials. Following relatively soft polymer prices during CY25, the subsequent increase in global crude oil prices and freight costs exerted pressure on input costs and compressed margins. Despite these challenges, Texo Poly maintained a sound operational profile, with capacity utilization improving in FY25 compared to the preceding year, reflecting better absorption of available production capacity and sustained operating activity. Operational efficiencies have also been strengthened through the implementation of SAP Business One and the commissioning of a 1.5MW solar power plant, which is expected to improve cost efficiency over the medium term. The Company’s total assets increased by 15.8% in FY25 compared to FY24, while equity recovered to PKR 1.2bln from PKR 1.1bln in FY25 following an improvement in profitability. The Company maintained a positive growth trajectory, with revenue recording an increase in FY25 over the preceding year, while the growth momentum continued into 9MFY26. Gross margin contracted sharply to 2.3% (FY24: 3.9%, FY23: 10.7%) due to elevated raw material costs, PKR depreciation, and limited pricing flexibility, while net profit margin stood at 1.4% in 3MFY26 (-0.8% in FY25). The Company's leverage moderated significantly to 3.3% as of 9MFY26 from 20.7% in FY25 (FY24: 6.8%), supported by lower borrowings and improved equity. Debt servicing capacity remained adequate, with EBITDA-to-finance cost coverage standing at 33.3x in FY25 (FY24: 38.3x). Working capital metrics remained stable, with the net working capital cycle maintained at around 65 days, reflecting prudent inventory and receivable management.

Key Rating Drivers

The ratings are dependent upon the Company's ability to maintain its operational performance amid raw material price and exchange rate volatility. Prudent working capital management, adequate liquidity, and a sound capital structure will remain important rating considerations. The Company's diversified blue-chip customer base and experienced sponsors provide comfort to the ratings, while the successful execution of the planned capacity expansion will remain a key consideration.

Members’ Profile

The Board maintains oversight of key areas through relevant committees, including Investment, Management, Risk Management, and IT Steering Committees, covering strategic, operational, risk, and technology-related matters.

During FY26, the Board held four meetings, focusing on the Company's strategic direction, operational performance, enhancement of IT infrastructure, and strengthening of the compliance framework. These discussions reflect the Board's commitment to improving governance practices, operational resilience, and long-term business sustainability.

Management
Organizational Structure

The organizational structure is well-defined with functional heads reporting directly to the Board of Directors. Key functions include Finance, Audit, Accounts, Supply Chain, Human Resources, Marketing, Information Technology, Quality Control, and Production. The reporting lines are clearly established with each functional head reporting to the Board, ensuring effective oversight and accountability.

The finance function is headed by Mr. Irfan Ali, responsible for financial planning, reporting, treasury, and compliance.

Control Environment

Improvements are required in documentation, reconciliation procedures, and monitoring controls, which management has committed to implementing.


Business Risk
Industry Dynamics

Polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, nylon, and PET constitute the primary raw materials for the plastic packaging industry. Being petroleum-based products, these inputs remain highly sensitive to fluctuations in international crude oil prices and exchange rate movements. During FY25, global crude oil prices softened, averaging around USD 70.2/bbl (FY24: USD 83.9/bbl), as increased OPEC+ production outpaced the recovery in global demand. Consequently, polymer prices also eased, with average PET import prices declining to approximately USD 1,014/MT in FY25 (FY24: USD 1,116/MT), reflecting lower global crude oil prices and improved supply conditions. However, the benefit of lower international prices was partially offset by exchange rate volatility, as the industry's heavy reliance on imported raw materials continues to expose manufacturers to foreign currency risk and input cost fluctuations.


Relative Position

Texo Poly enjoys a pre‑dominant market position within the flexible packaging sector, underscored by its extensive operational footprint, established clientele, and strong brand recognition. The Company has successfully carved out a leading role in the industry, backed by decades of experience, a diversified product portfolio, and a reputation for quality and reliability.


Revenues

The Company's revenue increased by approximately 11% in FY25, supported by higher sales volumes and sustained demand across its key product segments, while the growth momentum continued into 9MFY26. Revenue is generated entirely from domestic operations, with Woven Polypropylene (WPP) Bags remaining the largest revenue contributor, followed by Shrink Film, Polythene Rolls & Bags, and Stretch Film, reflecting a reasonably diversified product portfolio. The customer base remains moderately concentrated; however, the top customers comprise well-established corporates operating across multiple industries, partially mitigating concentration risk.


Margins

Margins have experienced significant compression, with gross profit margin declining from 10.7% in FY23 to 3.9% in FY24 and further to 2.3% in FY25, reflecting raw material price inflation, currency depreciation, and limited ability to pass through costs to customers. Net profit margin stood at 1.4% in 9MFY26 (-0.8% in FY25). However, 9MFY26 shows a notable recovery, with gross profit margin improving to 4.2%, operating profit margin rising to 3.7%, and net profit margin rebounding to 1.4%, reflecting improved cost management and operational efficiencies.


Sustainability

The Company's sustainability is underpinned by its long-standing relationships with blue-chip customers, many of whom have been associated with the Company for over 15 years, ensuring recurring business and customer retention. Additionally, the presence of its associated company, Global Petrochem Zone, strengthens the procurement of imported raw materials, supporting supply chain continuity and operational sustainability.


Financial Risk
Working capital

Working capital metrics remained largely stable as of Mar'26, with inventory days improving to 47 days (Jun'25: 48 days) and receivable days increasing marginally to 20 days (Jun'25: 19 days). Consequently, the net working capital cycle stood at 65 days (Jun'25: 64 days; Jun'24: 67 days). The current ratio remained stable at 1.0x, while short-term trade leverage declined to 21.4% (Jun'25: 40.3%). Overall, the Company's working capital profile remains adequate, supported by efficient funding through customer advances.


Coverages

Interest coverage was 6.5x in FY25, declining from 13.1x in FY24 due to compressed EBITDA, though annualized 9MFY26 shows significant improvement to 54.8x due to reduced finance costs. Funded cash flow from operations to finance cost was 1.9x in FY25, declining from 8.7x in FY24, indicating reduced cash generation relative to finance costs.


Capitalization

The Company's capitalization profile is considered adequate, supported by a moderate equity base, which improved to PKR1,234mln as of Mar'26 from PKR1,054mln as of Jun'25 (Jun'24: PKR1,374mln), reflecting improved profitability and internal capital generation during the period. The leverage profile also strengthened, improving to 3.3% as of Mar'26 from 20.7% as of Jun'25 (Jun'24: 6.8%), primarily driven by a reduction in short-term borrowings. The Company's debt portfolio remains predominantly short-term in nature, aligned with its working capital financing requirements. Going forward, maintaining a moderate equity base and prudent management of working capital borrowings will remain important to sustain the capitalization profile.
