Systems Limited (SYS) is ramping up its global ambitions after reporting a robust profit after tax (PAT) of Rs. 7.94 billion for the first nine months of calendar year 2025, a 46% year-on-year increase as compared with a profit of 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 in the same period last year. The company’s strong performance was driven by higher technology services exports and improved gross margins. Net sales for 9MCY25 reached Rs. 57.4 billion, up 19% year-on-year, with third-quarter sales alone rising 20% to Rs. 20.68 billion, according to Arif Habib Ltd.
Looking ahead, Systems Limited is targeting accelerated growth in Europe and the United States, with plans to establish a direct operational presence in the UK through a new subsidiary. The company is actively evaluating acquisition opportunities to fast-track entry into these mature markets and strengthen its position among enterprise clients.
This strategy is complemented by a forthcoming strategic partnership with British American Tobacco (BAT), set to commence in the next quarter, which will further expand the company’s global shared services footprint.
The company remains focused on large-scale transformation deals and is exploring additional strategic partnerships and M&A opportunities to broaden its global reach. In the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, Systems Limited continues to deliver robust growth, deepening relationships with enterprise clients and major system integrators, while the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has also shown significant progress, supported by expanding partnerships and increased adoption of digital transformation and AI-led initiatives.
Domestically, Systems Limited’s Pakistan business reported a positive operating profit for the first time, with strong performance in the banking and telecom sectors. Operational streamlining and improved execution discipline have put the segment on a sustainable growth path.
The company’s commitment to innovation is underscored by its “AI-First” vision, embedding artificial intelligence at the core of its strategy. The launch of Systems GenAI Studio, a cloud-native, model-agnostic platform, enables enterprises to rapidly build and scale generative AI solutions. The company’s AI.NOW program is also investing in workforce enablement and AI-driven solution delivery, particularly in ERP and CRM deployments.
Systems Limited’s continued recognition as a Microsoft Inner Circle Partner for five consecutive years further cements its leadership in the technology ecosystem. Meanwhile, its associate, OneLoad, has secured new investment and regulatory approval to scale its digital financial services business.
With a forward P/E multiple of 18.8x for CY26, analysts say Systems Limited is well-positioned to capitalize on global opportunities, particularly in Europe and the US, as it continues to deliver strong financial results and drive innovation across its business lines.
