Over 95% of this revenue was derived from international operations, reflecting the global nature of the Group\u2019s portfolio and business. Profit AfterTax (PAT) too grew by 389% YoY to Rs. 72.7 billion. Expolanka Holdings also achieved an exceptional Return on equity (ROE) of 95.9% as at end March 2022, reflecting the Group\u2019s high operating leverage and efficient asset utilization.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Considering the performance during the fourth quarter of the 2022 financial year (4QFY2022), Group Revenue grew by 220% YoY to Rs. 242 billion, Gross Profit expanded by 287% YoY to Rs. 46 billion and PAT rose by 680% YoY to Rs. 31 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Logistics Sector continued its strong performance with the sector\u2019s Revenue increasing by 221% YoY during the quarter to Rs. 240.9 billion. Quarterly Gross Profit expanded by 291% YoY to Rs. 45.8 billion and quarterly PAT rose by 561% YoY to Rs. 29.9 billion. This growth was a result of volume expansion, efficient operational capabilities and the company\u2019s proactive procurement initiatives, which complemented its sales strategy to build capacity and stabilize margins. While the North American trade segment remained the key driver of business, the European and Intra-Asia segments too remained resilient and recorded stable growth during the quarter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The customer-centric approach adopted by the company in the Logistics Sector continues to focus on growing wallet share across strategic customers, whilst gaining traction with identified new customers. The diversified customer portfolio serviced by the company in this sphere includes many leading global brands across a range of key verticals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Revenue of the Leisure Sector improved by 133% YoY to 280 million while PAT was up by 124% YoY to Rs. 37 million for the quarter. Focus on streamlining the business, expanding service capabilities whilst building a lean and efficient operation, contributed to this performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Investment Sector\u2019s quarterly Revenue grew by 100% YoY to Rs. 817 million, with export operations being the main contributor, while the IT business too is gaining traction.
