The Board of Directors on May 02, 2025 recommended a final dividend of Rs. 1.50 per equity share (75% on face value of Rs. 2) for FY25, totaling Rs. 1,851.42 lakhs, subject to shareholder approval at the 16th AGM on June 02, 2025. Audited standalone FY25 revenue fell to Rs. 1,013.79 crores from Rs. 1,329.58 crores in FY24. Standalone profit after tax dropped sharply to Rs. 184.92 crores (from Rs. 322.35 crores), impacted by a Rs. 40.18 crore exceptional item. Standalone EPS for FY25 came in at Rs. 14.98 versus Rs. 26.17 in FY24. The Board also appointed M/s. HVS & Associates as Secretarial Auditors for five years (FY26–FY30).
The dividend is modest in absolute terms, and the sharp ~43% YoY drop in standalone profits signals significant pressure on the core marine chemicals business. Shareholders may see a small income boost, but the weak earnings print could weigh on the stock in the near term.
