Aarti Surfactants' board, at its May 12, 2025 meeting, approved audited Q4 and FY25 results with an unmodified auditor opinion. Standalone FY25 revenue rose ~11.7% to Rs. 65,908.54 lakhs, but net profit fell ~32.7% to Rs. 1,499 lakhs versus Rs. 2,226.69 lakhs last year. Q4 FY25 net profit, however, jumped ~76% YoY to Rs. 983.64 lakhs on stronger revenue of Rs. 20,205.41 lakhs. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 1 (10%) per equity share of Rs. 10 face value, subject to shareholder approval. Other items include re-appointment of PHS & Associates as cost auditor for FY26 and withdrawal of the promoter re-classification application for one individual who wishes to remain in the promoter group. CARE Ratings also upgraded the company's long-term bank facility rating from BBB+ to A-.
The dividend is modest (Rs. 1 per share) and profitability for the full year declined, but Q4 showed strong sequential and YoY recovery, aided by one-time insurance proceeds and government incentives. The rating upgrade is a positive signal for creditors and lenders, while the promoter re-classification withdrawal removes a potential overhang on the shareholding structure.
