"Reflections on Moral Commerce & Resilient Values"

In fulfillment of my father’s founding vision of moral commerce, our corporate governance and strategic execution remain steadfastly anchored in serving humanity through business. We direct a minimum of 15% of our pre-tax profits into upliftment and environmental regeneration via the MJF Charitable Foundation and Dilmah Conservation.

Despite volatile macroeconomic constraints and intensifying global competition, Dilmah achieved a resilient performance during the 2024/25 fiscal year. Our consolidated revenue grew by 14% to LKR 21.2 Billion, up from LKR 18.5 Billion. This disciplined operational environment translated to a Profit Before Tax (PBT) of LKR 1.7 Billion, representing an outstanding 21% increase from LKR 1.4 Billion in the preceding year.

These strong metrics reflect our single-origin integrity and absolute dedication to premium luxury Ceylon tea. Through rigorous stewardship and sustainable investments in our capitals, we are prepared to navigate geopolitical complexity while expanding value for all stakeholders.

Revenue: LKR 21.2 Bn (+14%)
PBT: LKR 1.7 Bn (+21%)
