The Board approved audited standalone results for Q4 and FY25. Revenue from operations rose 12.4% YoY to Rs. 18,495.29 lakhs (vs Rs. 16,459.37 lakhs in FY24), driven mainly by the Freight & Services segment which grew 22.3% YoY; the Petrol Pump segment revenue declined marginally. Net profit for the year rose 8.2% to Rs. 246.93 lakhs from Rs. 228.30 lakhs, with EPS at Rs. 4.56. However, core operating profit (before exceptional items) actually fell ~13% YoY from Rs. 296.27 lakhs to Rs. 257.80 lakhs as transportation and service expenses grew faster than revenue, leading to EBITDA margin compression. Exceptional items contributed a gain of Rs. 50.37 lakhs (vs Rs. 11.13 lakhs in FY24), which propped up reported PBT. Operating cash flow dropped sharply to Rs. 1.68 cr from Rs. 7.55 cr due to higher working capital absorption. The Board also recommended a 5% dividend (Re 0.50 per share) and appointed a new Secretarial Auditor for FY25-26 to FY29-30. Statutory auditors issued an unqualified opinion.
Mixed for shareholders — topline growth is healthy, but margin pressure and weak operating cash conversion are concerns. Small dividend signals confidence, though profitability quality has weakened with exceptional items supporting reported earnings.
