Albert David Limited reported a sharp decline in FY25 profitability alongside routine auditor changes and a final dividend declaration. Revenue from operations fell to Rs. 34,576.80 lacs from Rs. 36,246.17 lacs in FY24, a ~4.6% drop, while other income halved to Rs. 2,958 lacs. Profit before tax plunged 74% to Rs. 2,522.77 lacs, and PAT dropped ~77% to Rs. 1,720.08 lacs (EPS of Rs. 30.14 vs Rs. 132.15 prior year). Q4 FY25 alone swung to a loss of Rs. 1,032.79 lacs versus a Rs. 1,291 lacs profit a year ago. The Board recommended a Rs. 5/share final dividend (50%) subject to AGM approval, and reappointed PwC as Internal Auditor and S. Gupta & Co. as Cost Auditor, while appointing MKB & Associates as Secretarial Auditor for 5 years. Statutory auditors L. B. Jha & Co. issued an unmodified opinion.
A steep ~77% fall in full-year PAT and a swing to a Q4 loss signal significant margin pressure and weakening earnings momentum, likely weighing on near-term sentiment despite the unchanged dividend payout. The negative operating cash flow of Rs. 2,844 lacs (vs Rs. 4,550 lacs generated last year) and a near-depletion of cash balances to Rs. 41.73 lacs raise liquidity concerns worth monitoring.
