In its statement, Marico Bangladesh said the rise in EPS during the third quarter of FY2025–26 was driven by higher revenue growth and optimisation of operating expenses. The improvement in NOCFPS was attributed to increased collections from customers.
The decline in NAV per share was mainly due to the declaration of the final dividend for FY2024–25 and the interim dividends for FY2025–26, the company added.
