Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Andhra Cements Limited reported audited results for FY25 with revenue from operations of Rs 27,405 lakhs, up marginally from Rs 26,811 lakhs in FY24. However, the net loss widened sharply to Rs 15,211 lakhs compared to Rs 6,561 lakhs in the previous year, driven by high finance costs (Rs 7,486 lakhs), depreciation (Rs 7,163 lakhs), and a Rs 626 lakh exceptional charge for fuel and power cost adjustment. Total equity eroded to Rs 14,455 lakhs from Rs 29,681 lakhs, while borrowings stood at Rs 75,711 lakhs, taking the debt-to-equity ratio above 5x. The company has an IND BBB+ credit rating and had Rs 576.51 crore of outstanding qualified borrowings at year-end. Auditor Deloitte Haskins & Sells issued an unmodified opinion.
Continued and deepening losses, severe equity erosion, and high leverage remain serious concerns for shareholders, though operating cash flow turned positive at Rs 5,955 lakhs. A rights issue of up to Rs 18,000 lakhs is pending, which could strengthen the balance sheet but also dilute existing shareholders.
