Board recommended final dividend of Rs.4/- per share
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
The Board of Directors of Clean Science and Technology Limited (BSE: 543318, NSE: CLEAN), at its meeting on 22nd May 2025, approved audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and FY ended 31st March 2025, along with a final dividend recommendation of Rs.4 per share (400%) on equity shares of Re.1 face value, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. Standalone FY25 performance was strong — total income grew about 16% YoY to Rs.9,585 million and profit after tax rose roughly 18% YoY to Rs.2,923 million, with EPS at Rs.27.51 versus Rs.23.31 in FY24. Consolidated FY25 total income stood at Rs.10,052 million with profit after tax of Rs.2,644 million. The Board also approved the re-appointment of two Whole-Time Directors for 5-year terms starting April 2026 and the appointment of a new firm as Secretarial Auditors for FY26–FY30. Book closure and dividend payment dates will be announced later.
Strong earnings growth signals healthy business momentum, but the Rs.4 dividend is lower than the Rs.5 per share paid in the prior year (based on dividends paid of Rs.531 million in FY25), suggesting a modest payout cut that may disappoint income-focused investors in the near term.
