The board approved audited financial results for Q4 and FY25 with an unmodified auditor opinion. Standalone revenue from operations dipped ~2.6% to ₹942.76 crore (FY24: ₹967.71 crore), while net profit fell ~18% to ₹130.14 crore (FY24: ₹158.77 crore), reflecting margin pressure from higher raw material and advertising costs. Q4 revenue grew ~3.2% YoY but profit declined ~15.6%. The board approved continuation of Mr. Sumit Malhotra as Non-Executive Director for five years from July 1, 2025. It also appointed Mr. Hitesh J. Gupta as Secretarial Auditor for five years covering FY26 to FY30. The company recently acquired a 49% stake in Vishal Personal Care for ₹59.52 crore, making it an associate from March 10, 2025.
Profit decline of nearly 18% YoY despite fairly stable revenue signals cost-side pressure and may concern investors watching margins. However, a ₹206 crore buyback and ₹114 crore dividend paid during the year show strong capital return to shareholders. The Vishal Personal Care acquisition diversifies the portfolio, and routine governance decisions like auditor and director appointments are unlikely to move the stock.
