AJC Jewel Manufacturers Ltd submitted its audited annual financial results for FY25 along with the auditor's report from Kumar & Biju Associates LLP, who issued an unqualified (clean) opinion. Revenue from operations declined to ₹22,046.35 lakhs from ₹24,588.99 lakhs in FY24, a drop of about 10.3%. Profit after tax fell to ₹286.34 lakhs (from ₹311.77 lakhs), with EPS at ₹6.44 vs ₹7.74. A major concern is that net cash from operating activities turned sharply negative at (₹802.80) lakhs, compared to a positive ₹442.48 lakhs in the previous year, driven by steep increases in inventory and trade receivables. The cash shortfall was largely funded by a jump in short-term borrowings from ₹2,104.22 lakhs to ₹3,131.14 lakhs. The auditor flagged discrepancies between books and quarterly bank return filings (Note 45) but confirmed no going concern issues and no qualifications.
The combination of falling revenue and deeply negative operating cash flow, despite still being profitable, signals working-capital stress and rising dependence on short-term debt. Retail investors may view this as a red flag for cash quality, though the clean auditor opinion and contained debt-equity level provide some cushion in the near term.
