I make no bones about the focal point of what we are reporting, because it is not common for a business to increase profits tenfold in a single year. And that is precisely what Dimo has achieved. The Company posted a profit before tax of Rs. 3,369 mn as against last year's figure of Rs. 306 mn. Similarly, the Company's after tax profit stood at Rs. 2,104 mn, up from Rs. 189 mn last year. Group profit before and after tax were Rs. 3,396 mn and Rs. 2,122 mn respectively.

To say that I am delighted with these results is to make a gross understatement. I am truly ecstatic and so is everyone at Dimo. Nevertheless, it is not about basking in this glory. On the contrary, the key factors that contributed to this success have also brought about so much opportunity, that every corner of Dimo is a fresh hive of activity.
