Brite
The flagship variant Brite Maximum Power got restaged with a contemporary packaging
design. Building on the premium and sophisticated look and feel, the new design will
enhance the Brand’s appeal to the consumers. This initiative will be complemented with a
mega IMC campaign comprising new TVC copies, a digital campaign, POSM drive, in-store
activations and direct-to-consumer activities covering multiple touchpoints.
07
Express Power
Express Power launched an all-new
communication to boost further its ‘Why
Pay More’ proposition. The key message
was communicated effectively through
an animated TVC, and the campaign
was supported by advertising on
traditional as well as digital media.
Additionally, investment in store visibility initiatives helped improve the brand’s availability
and share of shelf.
Bonus Tristar
The value segment felt the brunt of the
increase in raw material prices the most.
To continue driving conversion in this
segment, Bonus Tristar promised its
consumers the best value for money. The
new campaign helped reinforce Bonus
Tristar’s positioning as the brand that
offers the most powder at any given
price point. Moreover, the Company
continues to invest in ensuring strong
brand distribution in not only urban markets, but also in rural markets where regional
brands are growing stronger due to disparate trade spends.

(ATL) provided on the website of FBR, despite the fact that they are filers, are advised to
make sure that their names are entered in ATL before the first day of book closure, otherwise
tax on their cash dividend will be deducted @ 30% instead of 15%.

Director’s Report
The Directors of your Company are pleased to present the Annual Report with the audited financial
statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2022.

The business environment remained challenging during the year due to macroeconomic factors,

materials also remained a key challenge for the business. However, your Company was able to
navigate through these challenges by continuing the growth momentum achieving a net revenue
growth of 23.27%. Gross profit margin remained under pressure, amid currency depreciation and
rising commodity and energy costs, resulting in a drop of 362 bps despite adjustments in selling
prices across all categories.
Selling and administration costs increased by 8.16% and 8.82% respectively by applying strict cost
controls and bringing efficiencies in the operations.

Overall, it was a challenging year for the toothpaste business due to unprecedented increase in raw
material cost. The Company remained focused on its consumption building and penetration driving
initiatives that include regimen packs, reaching out to school-going children through its Bright
Smiles Bright Futures program and efforts to improve its distribution.
Home care category remained highly competitive with all key players increasing investment to gain
market share. Despite immense pressure on margins, advertising and trade spends have increased
during the year. Unorganized sector continues to pose a challenge especially in semi urban and
rural areas with high trade spends and low retail prices.
Lemon Max continues to maintain its leadership position in dish washing products; however, the
unorganized sector poses a serious challenge in semi-urban and rural areas.

Colgate celebrated young artists again this year with its “My Bright Smiles” Global Art Contest 2022.
The contest helped raised awareness for oral hygiene through art and gave children between the
ages of 6-9 years the chance to express their creativity.
This year, 67,654 artworks were received from all over the country through schools and online
submissions. Like every year, a young artist from Pakistan received the honor of being featured in
the Colgate ‘My Bright Smiles’ Global Calendar through this contest.
The Company also continued to support social welfare projects and made donations amounting to
PKR 20.75 million.
Future Outlook
The post-pandemic recovery of the global economy has been severely jolted by the ongoing
Russia–Ukraine conflict. Consequently, oil prices in the international commodity markets have
soared to an all-time high.
Political instability and uncertainty, trade deficit and depletion of foreign exchange reserves, are all
leading to significant pressure on the PKR against the US dollar.
21
Margin protection remains a serious challenge for the business. Rising inflation has affected the
disposable income of the masses and their spending is expected to remain under check. Given all

serving its stakeholders by delivering value; strengthening relationships with customers and
suppliers whilst also leveraging its diversified product portfolio to keep pursuing its profitable
growth aspirations.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
To the members of Colgate-Palmolive (Pakistan) Limited
Review Report on the Statement of Compliance Contained in Listed Companies (Code of Cor-
porate Governance) Regulations, 2019
We have reviewed the enclosed Statement of Compliance with the Listed Companies (Code of
Corporate Governance) Regulations, 2019 (the Regulations) prepared by the Board of Directors of
Colgate-Palmolive (Pakistan) Limited for the year ended June 30, 2022 in accordance with the
requirements of regulation 36 of the Regulations.
The responsibility for compliance with the Regulations is that of the Board of Directors of the Com-
pany. Our responsibility is to review whether the Statement of Compliance reflects the status of the
Company's compliance with the provisions of the Regulations and report if it does not and to high-
light any non-compliance with the requirements of the Regulations. A review is limited primarily to
inquiries of the Company's personnel and review of various documents prepared by the Company
to comply with the Regulations.
As a part of our audit of the financial statements we are required to obtain an understanding of the
accounting and internal control systems sufficient to plan the audit and develop an effective audit
approach. We are not required to consider whether the Board of Directors' statement on internal
control covers all risks and controls or to form an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal
controls, the Company's corporate governance procedures and risks.
The Regulations require the Company to place before the Audit Committee, and upon recommenda-
tion of the Audit Committee, place before the Board of Directors for their review and approval, its
related party transactions. We are only required and have ensured compliance of this requirement
to the extent of the approval of the related party transactions by the Board of Directors upon recom-
mendation of the Audit Committee.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the State-
ment of Compliance does not appropriately reflect the Company's compliance, in all material
respects, with the requirements contained in the Regulations as applicable to the Company for the
year ended June 30, 2022.

Opinion
We have audited the annexed financial statements of Colgate-Palmolive (Pakistan) Limited (the
Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2022, and the state-
ment of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity, the
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and we state that we
have obtained all the information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief,
were necessary for the purposes of the audit.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the
statement of financial position, statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the
statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows together with the notes forming part
thereof conform with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan and give the
information required by the Companies Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017), in the manner so required and
respectively give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at June 30, 2022 and
of the profit and other comprehensive income, the changes in equity and its cash flows for the year
then ended.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as applica-
ble in Pakistan. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent
of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code
of Ethics for Professional Accountants as adopted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Paki-
stan (the Code) and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our
auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report
in this regard.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan and the
requirements of Companies Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017) and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Board of directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs as applicable in Pakistan will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control.
31
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in inter-
nal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the board of directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relat-
ed safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the board of directors, we determine those matters that were
of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore
the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we deter-
mine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences
of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such commu-
nication.
(a) proper books of account have been kept by the Company as required by the Companies Act,
2017 (XIX of 2017);
(b) the statement of financial position, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows together with the
notes thereon have been drawn up in conformity with the Companies Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017)
and are in agreement with the books of account and returns;
32
Annual Report 2021 – 22
(c) investments made, expenditure incurred and guarantees extended during the year were for
the purpose of the Company’s business; and
(d) zakat deductible at source under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, 1980 (XVIII of 1980), was
deducted by the company and deposited in the Central Zakat Fund established under section
7 of that Ordinance.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Farrukh

Annual Report 2021 – 22
There is a standard and certain other amendments to accounting and reporting standards
that are not yet effective and are considered either not to be relevant or to have any signifi-
cant impact on the Company’s financial statements and operations and, therefore, have not
been disclosed in these financial statements.
Operating fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition
of the asset.
Assets having cost exceeding the minimum threshold as determined by the management
are capitalised. All other assets are charged to profit or loss in the year when acquired.
Consistent with prior year, depreciation is charged to income applying the straight line
method by applying rates (as stated in note 4.1.1). Depreciation on additions is charged
from the month in which the asset is put to use and on disposal upto the month of disposal.
No depreciation is charged if the asset's residual value exceeds its carrying amount.
Residual values and the useful lives are reviewed at each date of statement of financial posi-
tion and adjusted if expectations differ significantly from previous estimates.
Residual values are determined by the management as the amount it expects it would
receive currently for an item of property, plant and equipment if it was already of the age and
in the condition expected at the end of its useful life based on the prevailing market prices
of similar assets already at the end of their useful lives.
Useful lives are determined by the management based on the expected usage of assets,
physical wear and tear, technical and commercial obsolescence, legal and similar limits on
the use of the assets and other similar factors.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date
for indications that an asset may be impaired and carrying values may not be recovered. If
any such indication exists and where the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable
amount, the asset or cash generating unit is written down to its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less cost to
sell and value in use.
Normal repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss as and when incurred. Major
renewals and improvements, if any, are capitalised, when it is probable that future economic
benefits will flow to the Company.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are
determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount of the relevant assets. These are
included in profit or loss.
39
2.2.2 Capital work in progress
All expenditure connected with specific assets incurred during installation and construction
period are carried under capital work in progress. These are transferred to specific assets
as and when assets are available for use.
Right of use assets are initially measured at cost being the present value of lease payments,
initial direct costs, any lease payments made at or before the commencement of the lease
as reduced by any incentives received. These are subsequently measured at cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is charged on straight line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the useful
life of the asset. Where the ownership of the asset transfers to the Company at the end of
the lease term or if the cost of the asset reflects that the Company will exercise the purchase
option, depreciation is charged over the useful life of asset.
Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the expected future economic
benefits will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Cost of the
intangible asset (i.e. computer software) includes purchase cost and directly attributable
expenses incidental to bring the asset for its intended use.
Costs associated with maintaining computer software are recognised as an expense as and
when incurred.
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is charged over the estimated useful life of the
asset on a systematic basis applying the straight line method at the rate of 33.33%.
Useful lives of intangible operating assets are reviewed, at each date of statement of finan-
cial position and adjusted if the impact of amortisation is significant.
The carrying amount of the intangible is reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An
impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss for the amount by which the asset's carry-
ing amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Reversal of impairment losses are also recog-
nised in the profit or loss, however, it is restricted to the original cost of the asset.
Stores and spares are valued at lower of cost using the moving average method and
estimated net realisable value. Items in transit are valued at cost accumulated upto the date
of statement of financial position. Provision for obsolete items, if any, is based on their condi-
tion as at the financial position date depending upon the management's judgement.
Loose tools are recognised as expense as and when purchased as their inventory is gener-
ally not significant.
40
Annual Report 2021 – 22
Net realisable value specifies the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business
less the estimated cost of completion and cost necessary to be incurred to make the sale.
Stock in trade is valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. Cost is deter-
mined as follows:
Raw and packing material in bonded Cost accumulated upto the date of statement
warehouse and in transit of financial position
Work in process and finished goods Cost of direct materials and appropriate
portion of production overheads
Net realisable value is determined on the basis of estimated selling price of the product in
the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs
necessary to be incurred to make the sale.
Trade debts and other receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration
that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing component in which case
such are recognised at fair value. The Company holds the trade debts with the objective of
collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures the trade debts subsequently
at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Impairment of trade debts and other
receivables is described in note 2.18.1.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted
using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the implicit rate cannot be readily determined,
the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used. Subsequently these are increased by
interest, reduced by lease payments and remeasured for lease modifications, if any.
Liabilities in respect of short term and low value leases are not recognised and payments
against such leases are recognised as expense in profit or loss.
2.8 Taxation
Current
Provision for current taxation is the amount computed on taxable income at the current rates
of taxation or alternative corporate tax computed on accounting income or minimum tax on
turnover, whichever is higher, and taxes paid / payable on final tax basis, after taking into
account tax credit available, if any. The charge for the current tax also includes adjustments
where necessary, relating to prior years which arise from the assessments made / finalised
during the year.
41
Deferred
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary differ-
ences between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities and their tax bases.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all major taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all major deductible temporary differences to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each date of statement of finan-
cial position and is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits
will be available against which the assets may be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each date of statement of
financial position and are recognised to the extent that it becomes probable that future taxa-
ble profit will allow deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate that are expected to apply to
the year when the asset is utilised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have
been enacted or substantially enacted at the financial position date.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations
in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where
appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the statement of financial position at cost. For the
purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and
bank balances, cheques in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, running finance under
mark-up arrangements and short term loans which form an integral part of the Company's
cash management.
2.11 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation
as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimates.

Annual Report 2021 – 22
Liabilities for trade and other payables are carried at their amortised cost, which is approxi-
mately fair value of the consideration to be paid in future for goods and services received,
whether or not billed to the Company.
Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply
with the conditions attaching to them and that the grant will be received.
Grants related to long-term finances are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis
over the periods in which the Company recognises as finance cost related to long-term
finances at market rate of interest.
The Company operates a defined benefit plan i.e. an approved funded gratuity scheme for
all its permanent employees subject to attainment of retirement age and minimum service
of prescribed period. Contributions are made to the fund on the basis of actuarial recom-
mendations. Actuarial valuation is carried out using the projected unit credit method.
All actuarial gains and losses (i.e. remeasurements) are recognised in 'other comprehen-
sive income' as they occur.
The Company operates an approved funded provident fund scheme for all its permanent
employees. Equal monthly contributions are made, both by the Company and its employ-
ees, to the fund at the rate of 9 percent of the basic salaries of employees.
Compensated absences
- Gains / (losses) arising on disposal of investments are included in income and are
recognised on the date when the transaction takes place.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated in Pakistan rupees (functional and pres-
entation currency) at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Pakistan rupees at the rates of
exchange approximating those prevalent at the date of statement of financial position.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translations of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are recognised in the profit or loss.
The Company classifies its financial assets at amortised cost, fair value through other com-
prehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of the Company’s busi-
ness model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics
of the financial asset.
Financial assets at amortised cost are held within a business model whose objective
is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual
terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest
income from these financial assets, impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and
losses, and gain or loss arising on derecognition are recognised directly in profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are held within a
business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash
flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give
44
Annual Report 2021 – 22
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are those financial assets which are
either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. A
gain or loss on debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through
profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
Financial assets are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration
given and received respectively. These financial assets and liabilities are subsequently
remeasured to fair value, amortised cost or cost as the case may be. Any gain or loss on the
recognition and de-recognition of the financial assets and liabilities is included in the profit
or loss for the period in which it arises.
Equity instrument financial assets / mutual funds are measured at fair value at and subse-
quent to initial recognition. Changes in fair value of these financial assets are normally
recognised in profit or loss. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in
profit or loss when the Company's right to receive payment is established. Where an elec-
tion is made to present fair value gains and losses on equity instruments in other compre-
hensive income there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to
profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets
have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all
risks and rewards of ownership. Assets or liabilities that are not contractual in nature and
that are created as a result of statutory requirements imposed by the Government are not
the financial instruments of the Company.
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated
with its financial assets carried at amortised cost and fair value through other comprehen-
sive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a
significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified
approach, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition
of the receivables. The Company recognises in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss,
the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allow-
ance at the reporting date.
All financial liabilities are recognised at the time when the Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities at amortised costs are initially
measured at fair value minus transaction costs. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective yield method.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged,
cancelled or expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the
45
same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substan-
tially modified, such an exchange and modification is treated as a derecognition of the origi-
nal liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in respective carrying
amounts is recognised in the profit or loss.
A financial asset and a financial liability is offset and the net amount is reported in the finan-
cial statements if the Company has a legally enforceable right to set-off the transaction and
also intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simul-
taneously.
- there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future
events not wholly within the control of the Company; or
- there is present obligation that arises from past events but it is not probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent assets are disclosed when there is a possible asset that arises from past events
and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or
more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent
assets are not recognised until their realisation become virtually certain.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reports issued to
the chief operating decision-maker. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the
'chief operating decision-maker', who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the accounting and reporting
standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires manage-
ment to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting
policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historic
experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. In the process of applying the Company's accounting
policies, the management has made the following estimates and judgements which are
significant to the financial statements:
46
Annual Report 2021 – 22
b) assumptions and estimates used in determining lease term and incremental borrow-
ing rate of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities (notes 4.3 & 22);
c) assumptions and estimates used in calculating the provision for impairment for trade
debts (note 10); and
d) assumptions and estimates used for valuation of present value of defined benefit
obligation and fair value of plan assets (note 20).
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experi-
ence and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances.
During the year, effective from 1 January 2022, the Company revised the useful lives of its
certain classes of property, plant and equipment namely ‘Buildings on leasehold land’ and
‘Plant and Machinery’ to better reflect the economic benefits being utilized out of these
assets. The revision in useful life of these assets have been as follows:
The aforesaid revision in the useful life has been accounted for as a change in estimate
prospectively in accordance with IAS 8 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors.’ Had there been no change in the useful life of the aforesaid class of
assets, the depreciation expense for the year would have been higher by Rs 116.224 million.

20.2 As stated in note 2.14, the Company operates a defined benefit plan i.e. an approved funded gratuity
scheme for all its permanent employees subject to attainment of retirement age and minimum service
of prescribed period. Actuarial valuation of the scheme is carried out every year and the latest actuarial
valuation was carried out as at June 30, 2022. The disclosures made in notes 20.3 to 20.17 are based
on the information included in the actuarial report.

20.14 The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in the weighted principal assumptions is:
62
Annual Report 2021 – 22
20.15 The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other
assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions
may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant
actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated
with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when
calculating the staff retirement gratuity recognised within the statement of financial position.
20.17 The Company faces the following risks on account of defined benefit plan:
Mortality risks - The risk that the actual mortality experience is different. The effect depends on the
beneficiaries service/age distribution and the benefit.
Final salary risks - The risk that the final salary at the time of cessation of service is different than what
was assumed. Since the benefit is calculated on the final salary, the benefit amount increases as
salary increases.
Withdrawal risks – The risk of higher or lower withdrawal experience than assumed. The final effect
could go either way depending on the beneficiaries’ service/age distribution and the benefit.
Investment risk - risk of investment underperforming and being not sufficient to meet the liabilities.

40.1 The Company’s activities expose it to certain financial risks. Such financial risks emanate from various
factors that include, but not limited to, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall
risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential
adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. Risks measured and managed by the Com-
pany are explained in notes 40.1.1, 40.1.2 and 40.1.3 below:
Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognised at the reporting date if counter
parties fail to perform as contracted.
Out of the total financial assets of Rs 11,448.395 million (2021: Rs 13,586.132 million), the financial
assets that are subject to credit risk aggregated Rs 11,447.808 million (2021: Rs 13,585.563 million).
The analysis below summarises the credit quality of the Company's financial assets as at June 30,

Long term security deposits are held with parties which have long association with the Company and
have a good credit history.
For trade debts, internal risk assessments process determines the credit quality of the customer, taking
into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are fixed by
the management based on internal or external ratings. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly moni-
tored. Accordingly the credit risk is minimal and the Company also believes that it is not exposed to
major concentration of credit risk.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information
indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full and it is
subsequently written off, if required.

-----(Rupees in '000)-----
Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic and industry factors affect the group of
counter parties whose aggregated credit exposure is significant in relation to the Company's total
credit exposure. The Company's financial assets are broadly diversified and transactions are entered
into with diverse credit worthy parties thereby mitigating any significant concentration risk. Therefore,
the Company believes that it is not exposed to major concentration of credit risk.
78
Annual Report 2021 – 22
Liquidity risk is the risk that an enterprise will encounter difficulties in raising funds to meet commit-
ments associated with financial instruments. The management believes that it is not exposed to any
significant level of liquidity risk.
The management forecasts the liquidity of the Company on the basis of expected cash flow consider-
ing the level of liquid assets necessary to meet such risk.

Currency Risk
Currency risk arises mainly where receivables and payables exist due to transactions entered into
foreign currencies. The Company primarily has foreign currency exposures in US Dollars (USD) and
Euro.
79
At June 30, 2022, had Pakistan rupee weakened / strengthened by 5% against the USD and Euro with
all other variables held constant, profit before taxation for the year would have been lower / higher by
Rs 73.205 million (2021: Rs 31.026 million). This will mainly result due to foreign exchange gains /
losses on translation of USD and Euro denominated bills payables.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate
due to changes in market interest rates.
• Fair value risk - Presently, fair value risk to the Company arises from TDRs, long term financing,
lease liabilities and cash with banks in savings accounts which are based on fixed interest rates.
As at June 30, 2022, had there been increase / decrease in fixed interest rates by 100 basis points,
with all other variables held constant, profit before tax for the year would have been higher / lower
by Rs 12.704 million (2021: Rs 25.039 million).
• Future cash flow risk - Presently, the Company is not exposed to future cash flow risk.
Other price risk is the risk of changes in the fair value of investment in mutual funds as a result of chang-
es in the levels of net asset value of units held by the Company. As at June 30, 2022, had there been
increase / decrease in net asset value by 1%, with all other variables held constant,the profit before tax
for the year would have been higher / lower by Rs 63.946 million (2021: Rs 71.956 million).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current
market conditions (i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated
using another valuation technique.
As at June 30, 2022, all financial assets and financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost except for
investment in mutual funds and PIBs which are carried at their fair values.
The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the signifi-
cance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
b) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
c) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable
inputs) (level 3).
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting
period during which the transfer has occurred.
80
Annual Report 2021 – 22
The Company's policy for determining when transfers between levels in the hierarchy have occurred
includes monitoring of the following factors:
• changes in market and trading activity (e.g. significant increases / decreases in activity)
• changes in inputs used in valuation techniques (e.g. inputs becoming / ceasing to be observable
in the market)
There were no transfers between level 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on Net Asset Values (NAVs) of
the units of the mutual funds and quoted prices for floating rate PIBs at the reporting date. A market is
regarded as active when it is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with
sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an on going basis.
The following table analyses within the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial assets (by class)
measured at fair value at June 30, 2022:
2022
Financial assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
--------------------(Rupees in '000)--------------------

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and
to maintain an optimal capital structure.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends
paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Consistent with others in the industry, the Company manages its capital risk by monitoring its liquid
assets and keeping in view future investment requirements and expectation of the shareholders.
As at June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had surplus reserves to meet its requirements.
