Continental Securities, a Jaipur-based NBFC registered with RBI (Base layer), reported audited FY25 results with total income of Rs. 284.08 lakhs, up from Rs. 158.55 lakhs in FY24 — a jump of about 79%. Profit after tax rose nearly 74% to Rs. 132.86 lakhs (FY24: Rs. 76.38 lakhs), lifting basic EPS to Rs. 0.51 from Rs. 0.31. The board has recommended a modest final dividend of Rs. 0.05 per share (2.5%) on a Rs. 2 face value, subject to shareholder approval. The auditors (R.P. Khandelwal & Associates) gave an unmodified (clean) opinion on the results. Total assets grew to Rs. 1,824.80 lakhs, driven mainly by a sharp increase in loans (Rs. 1,742.66 lakhs vs Rs. 1,185.46 lakhs), funded partly through fresh equity infusion of Rs. 423.75 lakhs.
Strong top-line and bottom-line growth signals healthy business expansion for this small NBFC, while the clean audit opinion and tiny dividend should reassure investors. However, operating cash flow remained deeply negative at Rs. (397.71) lakhs due to heavy loan book growth — typical for an NBFC in expansion mode, but worth watching for liquidity comfort.
