Chadha Papers reported a sharp decline in FY25 performance with standalone revenue from operations falling to ₹51,333.59 lakhs from ₹60,931.79 lakhs in FY24, a drop of about 15.8%. Profit before tax collapsed to ₹485.42 lakhs from ₹5,073.55 lakhs (roughly a 90% fall), and profit after tax fell to ₹330.32 lakhs from ₹3,728.64 lakhs, taking EPS down to ₹3.24 from ₹36.54. Q4 FY25 was particularly weak, with revenue of ₹12,967.65 lakhs (vs ₹17,056.49 lakhs) and PAT of just ₹100.07 lakhs. The auditor (D H A N A & Associates) issued an unmodified opinion but flagged an Emphasis of Matter regarding the expiry of a 30-year lease on part of the factory land at Bilaspur (Rampur), which belongs to promoter family members and is pending renewal. Operating cash flow was positive at ₹5,544.10 lakhs but the cash and cash equivalents balance remains negative after adjusting for cash credit limits. Consolidated numbers are largely similar as the subsidiary Manorama Paper Mills was non-operational during the year.
Shareholders face a sharply weaker year with revenue and profits both contracting significantly, though the bottom line remains positive and operations are still generating cash. The unresolved factory land lease is a key risk to monitor, as prolonged uncertainty over renewal could weigh on the stock. Overall, this is a negative result compared to FY24.
