British American Tobacco (BAT) Bangladesh has reported a sharp 81% drop in net profit for the second quarter of 2025, compared to the same period last year. The decline comes alongside a 23% fall in revenue, largely attributed to the temporary closure of its Dhaka factory and continued high inflation.
According to the company’s unaudited financial statement, BAT Bangladesh’s net profit for Q2 stood at BDT 97 crore, down from BDT 512 crore in the same quarter of 2024.

In an official statement, the company said that inflationary pressures and the shutdown of operations at its Dhaka manufacturing plant had a substantial negative impact on both revenue and profitability.
