Asian Paints reported its audited financial results for Q4 and FY25 ended March 31, 2025, alongside a final dividend recommendation. Standalone revenue from operations fell to ₹29,552.65 crores from ₹31,226.98 crores in FY24, a decline of about 5.4%. Standalone profit after tax dropped sharply to ₹3,584.88 crores from ₹5,315.01 crores in FY24, while EPS fell to ₹37.39 from ₹55.43. Consolidated revenue declined to ₹33,905.62 crores from ₹35,494.73 crores, with consolidated PAT at ₹3,709.71 crores versus ₹5,557.69 crores. The company recognised a Q4 exceptional item of ₹179.81 crores (standalone), mainly an impairment loss on its White Teak subsidiary investment and related derivative fair-value loss. The Board recommended a final dividend of ₹20.55 per share, taking total FY25 dividend to ₹24.80 per share. Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued an unmodified (clean) audit opinion on both standalone and consolidated results.
The sharp decline in both revenue and profit, compounded by the White Teak impairment, signals meaningful business pressure and may weigh on short-term investor sentiment. However, the clean audit opinion, healthy operating cashflows, and a continued dividend payout provide stability, though the FY25 numbers are clearly weaker than the prior year.
