Chothani Foods reported FY25 revenue of ₹800.20 lakhs, essentially flat compared to ₹800.36 lakhs in FY24. Profit after tax rose marginally to ₹13.61 lakhs from ₹13.51 lakhs, with EPS at ₹0.13 vs ₹0.23 last year (on a full-year basis). Profit before tax actually declined to ₹18.44 lakhs from ₹21.33 lakhs, and operating profit before working capital changes fell to ₹41.93 lakhs from ₹48.27 lakhs, indicating EBITDA margin compression. Cash and cash equivalents plunged to ₹31.43 lakhs from ₹296.63 lakhs, as operating cash flow remained deeply negative at ₹-306.98 lakhs (though improving from ₹-454.61 lakhs last year). The statutory auditor issued an unmodified opinion but flagged two Emphasis of Matter issues: inadequate MSMED supplier identification/process, and unreconciled debtor balances whose impact cannot be determined.
Flat top-line, shrinking margins, and persistently negative operating cash flow are concerns for shareholders, even as bottom-line PAT held steady. The auditor's emphasis on unreconciled debtor balances and MSMED compliance gaps is a governance red flag worth tracking. Stock may face pressure given deteriorating cash position despite stable profitability.
