Centum Electronics reported strong standalone results for FY25, with revenue from operations rising about 18% to Rs. 7,479 million from Rs. 6,321 million a year earlier. Standalone profit after tax jumped roughly 46% to Rs. 528 million (from Rs. 363 million), lifting basic EPS to Rs. 40.66 versus Rs. 28.13. On a consolidated basis, revenue grew about 11% to Rs. 11,309 million, but the company posted a small loss after tax of Rs. 19 million after booking Rs. 148 million in exceptional items, mainly tied to its European subsidiary Centum T&S Group whose net worth has been eroded. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 6 per share (60%), raised about Rs. 2,100 million via a Qualified Institutional Placement to repay borrowings, and approved several leadership changes including a new CFO from September 2025. Statutory auditor S.R. Batliboi & Associates LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on both the standalone and consolidated results.
Standalone earnings growth and a 60% dividend are positive for shareholders, while the consolidated loss and outstanding concerns around the European subsidiary investment (Rs. 1,538 million carrying value) are near-term watchpoints. The debt reduction via the QIP strengthens the balance sheet but adds equity dilution.
