penetration while driving the share of premium in the portfolio.

o Capex during the quarter was Rs. 44 Cr with the volume growth during the quarter resulting in an on-going review

of capacity plan to meet future demand

o Although commodity prices remain elevated, there are some indications that spot prices are softening. Company has focused on security of supply given the peak season and volatile commodity markets. UBL is in the process of pursuing further price increases in combination with continued cost measures to mitigate this impact.

o In light of the strong demand witnessed in the peak season post earlier Covid impacted periods, UBL remains optimistic about the long-term growth drivers of the industry on the basis of GDP growth, urbanization and evolving consumer trends. UBL is well positioned to leverage and drive these opportunities.
