Reckitt Benckiser (Bangladesh) PLC has reported a slight increase in profit for the first quarter of the financial year 2025, supported by double-digit revenue growth, according to its unaudited financial results.
The multinational consumer goods company posted a net profit of Tk 153.3 million in the January–March period, up by one percent compared with the same quarter last year. Revenue for the quarter reached Tk 1.47 billion, an 11 percent increase year-on-year.
The firm’s earnings per share rose marginally to Tk 32.45 from Tk 32.10 in the corresponding quarter a year earlier. Net operating cash flow per share climbed to Tk 79.64 from Tk 69.23 over the same period.
Reckitt Benckiser’s performance in the first quarter reflects steady demand for its health, hygiene and home products, including well-known brands such as Dettol, Harpic and Lizol. The company has been operating in Bangladesh since its incorporation in 1961.
Ownership data from the Dhaka Stock Exchange shows that as of 31 March, sponsors and directors held 82.96 percent of the company’s shares. Institutional investors owned 5.78 percent, while the remaining shares were held by general investors, the government, and foreign shareholders.
