Business Risk
During FY25, Pakistan’s economy showed signs of
stabilization under ongoing reforms. Provisional estimates place real GDP
growth at 2.7%, supported by recovery in the services sector and large-scale
manufacturing, while agriculture recorded moderate growth. The automobile
sector also reflected improvement, aided by macroeconomic stability, lower
interest rates, and renewed consumer confidence. Passenger car and LCV sales
rose by ~43% year-on-year, driven by easier financing conditions and new
model launches. However, the industry continues to face challenges from high
input costs, limited localization, and evolving import and energy policies.
The tracking services industry in Pakistan is shaped by rising demand
for fleet management, logistics efficiency, and security solutions,
though infrastructure gaps and regulatory complexities remain constraints.
Adoption of GPS-based tracking and telematics has grown steadily, with
logistics companies seeking route optimization, fuel savings, and improved
delivery times, while corporate clients emphasize asset security and
operational transparency. Despite growth opportunities, the sector contends
with high operating costs, reliance on imported equipment, and regulatory
pressures. Looking ahead, expansion of e-commerce, smart-city
initiatives, and IoT applications is expected to transform the industry,
creating avenues for innovation and diversification. The industry is evolving
rapidly, driven by IoT and telematics advancements, with companies
expanding through strategic partnerships and technology enhancements. A
significant portion of demand originates from the automobile sector,
where vehicle tracking remains the most common application. While the auto
industry faces economic challenges, tracking services are expected to shift
focus toward fleet management and container tracking. Additionally, service
delivery applications aimed at enhancing consumer convenience are gaining
traction. With inflation easing and recent reductions in monetary
policy rates, the outlook for the industry appears more favorable. TPL Trakker Limited holds a unique position in the industry
as the only Company in its segment listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange
(PSX), while there are numerous competitors in market including I‑Tech,
Tracking World, and Falcon I remain privately owned. These players
primarily focus on conventional telematics and IoT solutions. Operating in a
competitive environment, TPL Trakker reports an estimated ~38% share of the
tracking and fleet management market, underscoring its scale relative to
peers. The Company has pursued a strategic shift toward diversified
technology offerings, particularly in the Internet of Things (IoT)
space, moving beyond reliance on traditional vehicle tracking services. This transition
has broadened the product portfolio and strengthened the Company’s relevance in
emerging technology domains, positioning it for growth in areas such as connected
mobility, smart logistics, and integrated IoT solutions. While competition
continues to intensify, TPL Trakker’s focus on innovation and expansion
supports its ability to maintain market presence and operational resilience. Beyond
tracking, the Company has entered a wider ecosystem of technology-driven
solutions, including IoT applications, industrial automation, cybersecurity,
smart-city infrastructure, logistics optimization, and smart agriculture.
This diversification enhances its presence across multiple sectors, reduces
concentration risk, and creates new channels for sustainable growth. By
integrating advanced technologies, TPL Trakker aims to establish itself as a
comprehensive solutions provider in both domestic and regional markets. TPL Trakker’s revenue is derived from multiple streams,
including equipment installation sales, rental income from tracking devices,
monitoring fees, navigation income, e‑ticketing income, and other services.
In IQFY26, revenue declined by 36.8% to PKR 280mln, compared to PKR
1.7bn in FY25 and PKR 2.5bn in FY24. Approximately 53% of total
revenue is generated from the rental of tracking devices, followed by
monitoring income as the next largest contributor. Looking ahead, the revenue
base is expected to expand with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT),
the advancement of CPEC-related projects, and the development of transshipment
initiatives. In addition, location‑based services represent a
segment with potential to add further value to the business. In IQFY26, the Company’s gross profit margin was 26%,
compared to 41% in FY25 and 45% in FY24. The net profit margin
declined to -27.2%, following a loss of -3.9% in FY25 and a
profit margin of 5% in FY24. At the bottom line, the Company reported a
net loss of about PKR 76mln in IQFY26, with a loss of PKR 70mln in
FY25 and a profit of PKR 135mln in FY24. The Company’s profitability
has shown fluctuations across reporting periods, primarily influenced by the
nature and timing of contracts with customers.
Financial Risk
TPL's working capital requirements arise from credit
allowances to corporates and financial institutions, financed through
short-term borrowings. In IQFY26, the cash cycle was reduced to ~2 days, down
from ~27 days in FY25 and ~69 days in FY24. According to industry norms, the
ageing analysis shows that most debtors, primarily corporate clients, take at
least four months to pay. During IQFY26, the Company generated free cash flows
from operations (FCFO) of PKR 60mln, compared to PKR 523mln in FY25
and PKR 935mln in FY24. This reflects a decline in operating cash
generation over the past three reporting periods. Coverage ratios stood at
around 1.0x in IQFY26, following 1.7x in FY25 and 2.0x in FY24.The
Company’s interest coverage ratio was reported at 0.9x in IQFY26,
compared to 1.6x in FY25. As of IQFY26, the Company’s equity base was PKR
2.3bn, compared to PKR 2.4bn in FY25 and PKR 2.5bn in FY24. The
debt portfolio consists of both short-term and long-term borrowings. Total
borrowings stood at PKR 1.54bn in IQFY26, in comparison to PKR 1.4bn
in FY25 and PKR 1.5bn in FY24. The gearing ratio was ~39.8% in
IQFY26, after remaining within the range of 38.3%–38.9% during the
previous two years.
