ISLAMABAD — Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) has announced consolidated annual revenue of PKR 120 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, reflecting a 12% year-on-year increase driven by broadband, enterprise, wholesale and mobile services.
The company reported a 216% rise in consolidated operating profit, indicating improved operational efficiency across business segments. However, it recorded a consolidated net loss of Rs9.7 billion, largely attributed to accelerated provisioning at Ubank following revisions to prudential regulations.
Core business performance
PTCL’s standalone revenue grew 12% year-on-year, supported by 50% growth in Flash Fiber and 16% growth in Business Solutions. Carrier and Wholesale operations recorded 28% growth, while international revenues increased by 3%.
Operating profit reached Rs18.2 billion, up 49% from the previous year. The company also posted a net profit of Rs1.4 billion despite booking an additional Rs6.9 billion pension liability following a Supreme Court ruling.
Ufone reported 14% revenue growth, led by retail and corporate segments. Its operating profit rose 283% to PKR 17.6 billion, while net losses declined by 89%.
Major telecom consolidation
PTCL completed the acquisition of Telenor Pakistan on December 31, 2025, after securing all regulatory approvals. The operational results of Telenor Pakistan will be consolidated from January 1, 2026.
With Telenor Pakistan and Orion Towers now wholly owned subsidiaries, PTCL has initiated plans to merge Telenor Pakistan and Ufone, subject to regulatory clearance. The integration aims to expand nationwide coverage, enhance service quality and improve cost efficiencies.
Digital and enterprise expansion
Flash Fiber retained the highest subscriber market share at 33%, while UPaisa recorded a 57% year-on-year rise in transactions, reaching a monthly peak of 13.2 million. Monthly throughput increased to PKR 21.9 billion.
The UPTCL self-care app crossed 5.7 million monthly active users, and Ufone’s digital brand Onic reached 406,000 subscribers with 169% annual growth.
PTCL Smart Cloud expanded by onboarding digital banks, fintech firms and government entities. The company also upgraded its AI-ready data centers and strengthened its wholesale operations through submarine cable partnerships and national fiber infrastructure.
Social and sustainability initiatives
Under its “Dil Se” platform, PTCL continued initiatives aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including digital inclusion, clean water access and public health awareness campaigns.
The Ba-Ikhtiar programme supported 79 women in digital and entrepreneurial training, while a partnership with ConnectHear introduced an AI-powered sign-language early warning system for the Deaf community. Clean water initiatives in Thar and Umerkot earned recognition at national and regional award platforms.
PTCL stated that its 2025 performance underscores continued investment in digital transformation, network expansion and socially responsible growth.
