Bharati Defence and Infrastructure Limited has submitted to the Exchange, the financial results for the period ended March 31, 2025.
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Bharati Defence and Infrastructure Limited submitted its audited FY25 results. The company, formerly Bharati Shipyard, was under liquidation until new management took over on June 12, 2024. Revenue from operations fell sharply to ₹2,329.84 lakhs from ₹17,593.44 lakhs in FY24. The company swung to a net profit of ₹1,428.58 lakhs (EPS ₹0.28) compared to a massive loss of ₹2,52,210.25 lakhs in FY24, which included an exceptional item of ₹2,47,483.42 lakhs. Operating cash flow turned positive at ₹1,711.43 lakhs, and cash balance stood at ₹987.40 lakhs. The auditor issued a qualified/modified opinion because they could not verify transactions for April 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024, as books and records from that period were unavailable. The auditor also flagged non-maintenance of audit trail in the accounting software as a key audit matter.
The turnaround in profitability under new management is encouraging, but the qualified auditor opinion, prior liquidation history, ongoing capital restructuring (including share capital reduction), and ~87% revenue decline signal significant operational and governance uncertainty for shareholders.
