Chennai Ferrous Industries reported strong full-year growth for FY25, with net sales rising about 60% to Rs 21,905.61 lakhs from Rs 13,642.29 lakhs in FY24. Profit after tax grew about 44% to Rs 401.08 lakhs from Rs 279.16 lakhs, pushing EPS to Rs 11.13 from Rs 7.74. However, Q4 standalone PAT dropped sharply to Rs 18.62 lakhs from Rs 106.09 lakhs a year ago, despite Q4 revenue jumping to Rs 5,645.72 lakhs. The statutory auditor S.K. Gulecha & Associates issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. The balance sheet expanded to Rs 8,062 lakhs with new inventory of Rs 1,625 lakhs, fresh borrowings of Rs 166.83 lakhs, and sharply higher trade payables.
Strong annual revenue and profit growth are positive for shareholders, but the steep Q4 profit dip and a sizeable negative operating cash flow of Rs 833 lakhs suggest working capital stress and weaker near-term profitability, which investors should weigh against the full-year headline numbers.
