Operating profit also rose 33% year-on-year to Rs8.46 billion, showcasing Systems’ continued ability to scale efficiently while maintaining profitability. Operating expenses excluding cost of sales stood at Rs6.97 billion, up 34% mainly due to higher selling and administrative expenses driven by business expansion and strategic investments.
