On the reaction day the stock moved 6.5 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 6.2 pts less than its Commodity Chemicals peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Oriental Carbon & Chemicals Limited reported its audited results for FY25 with continuing operations revenue rising to Rs 2,234.06 lakhs from Rs 1,447.13 lakhs in FY24 (restated), a growth of roughly 54%. However, the company posted a massive standalone loss after tax of Rs 36,634.01 lakhs for the year versus a profit of Rs 4,629.36 lakhs in FY24, almost entirely driven by an exceptional loss of Rs 37,494.57 lakhs. This exceptional loss relates to the demerger of its Insoluble Sulphur & Chemicals manufacturing business into OCCL Limited (Resulting Company), effective July 1, 2024, which has been accounted for as a discontinued operation under Ind AS 105. Profit before tax and exceptional items from continuing operations actually fell to Rs 487.56 lakhs from Rs 730.54 lakhs, indicating margin compression at the core business level. The auditor (S S Kothari Mehta & Co. LLP) issued an unmodified opinion but included Emphasis of Matter paragraphs on the demerger and restatement of comparatives. The board also approved voluntary delisting from NSE, appointment of a new Additional Director (Mrs. Mitali Gupta), and a change in the registered office via amendment to the Memorandum of Association.
Shareholders should note that the steep FY25 loss is a one-time accounting impact from the demerger rather than an operational cash drain, but the lower profit from continuing operations and the voluntary NSE delisting (reducing liquidity for investors) are key points to watch. The stock price could see short-term pressure due to the headline loss, though the underlying restructuring aims to separate the chemicals business cleanly.
