Systems Limited (PSX: SYS), Pakistan’s leading technology powerhouse, has announced a robust financial performance for the first nine months of calendar year 2025, posting a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs. 7.94 billion — a 46% year-on-year increase from Rs. 5.43 billion recorded in the same period last year.
The company’s earnings per share (EPS) rose to Rs. 5.42, up from Rs. 3.71 a year earlier, driven by higher technology services exports and improved gross margins. According to Arif Habib Ltd, net sales for the nine-month period reached Rs. 57.4 billion, reflecting a 19% year-on-year growth, with third-quarter sales alone increasing by 20% to Rs. 20.68 billion.
Building on this momentum, Systems Limited is accelerating its global growth strategy, particularly in Europe and the United States. The company plans to establish a direct operational presence in the UK through a new subsidiary and is actively exploring acquisition opportunities to fast-track entry into mature markets and strengthen relationships with enterprise clients.
A key milestone in this journey will be a forthcoming strategic partnership with British American Tobacco (BAT), set to commence in the next quarter, which will further enhance Systems Limited’s global shared services footprint.
The company is also pursuing additional strategic partnerships and M&A opportunities to broaden its international presence. In the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, Systems continues to demonstrate strong growth, deepening engagements with enterprise clients and major system integrators. The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has also shown significant progress, supported by growing demand for digital transformation and AI-led initiatives.
Domestically, Systems Limited’s Pakistan operations reported a positive operating profit for the first time, supported by robust performance in the banking and telecom sectors. Streamlined operations and improved execution have placed the local segment on a sustainable growth trajectory.
Underscoring its innovation-led strategy, the company continues to advance its “AI-First” vision, embedding artificial intelligence across its business lines. The launch of Systems GenAI Studio, a cloud-native, model-agnostic platform, enables enterprises to rapidly build and scale generative AI solutions. Meanwhile, its AI.NOW program focuses on workforce enablement and AI-driven solution delivery, especially in ERP and CRM implementations.
Recognized as a Microsoft Inner Circle Partner for five consecutive years, Systems Limited continues to reinforce its leadership in the global technology ecosystem. Its associate company, OneLoad, has also secured new investment and regulatory approval to expand its digital financial services portfolio.
With a forward P/E multiple of 18.8x for CY26, analysts believe Systems Limited is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging global opportunities, particularly in Europe and the US, as it continues to deliver strong financial results and drive innovation across markets.
