The Board approved audited standalone financial results for Q4 and full year ended 31 March 2025. Full-year revenue from operations rose modestly to Rs. 31,906.32 lakhs (vs Rs. 30,043.84 lakhs in FY24, ~6% growth), while full-year profit after tax surged to Rs. 2,355.91 lakhs (vs Rs. 859.48 lakhs in FY24, ~174% growth). Q4 FY25 saw revenue decline ~25% YoY to Rs. 7,540.87 lakhs, though the company swung to a Q4 profit of Rs. 552.18 lakhs from a loss of Rs. 692.19 lakhs in Q4 FY24. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 8 per share (80% on face value of Rs. 10). The auditor (Saghesh Kumar & Associates) issued an unqualified opinion. Managing Director Dr. S N Sasidharan Kartha resigned on health grounds effective 20 May 2025, and his son Mr. Saran S Kartha (previously Joint Managing Director) was appointed as the new Managing Director for a 3-year term effective 21 May 2025.
Strong full-year earnings and a generous 80% dividend are positive for shareholders, though the sharp Q4 revenue decline and very thin operating cash flow (Rs. 97.39 lakhs vs Rs. 611.83 lakhs) signal working-capital pressure. The leadership transition is smooth (family succession) and unlikely to disrupt operations, but the health-driven exit of the long-time MD may warrant monitoring.
