Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
3M India Limited published its audited financial results for Q4 FY25 and the full financial year ended March 31, 2025 in Business Line and Prajavani newspapers, as required by SEBI regulations. Total income for Q4 FY25 stood at Rs. 1,21,174.62 lakhs, up about 7.7% from Rs. 1,12,472.63 lakhs in Q4 FY24. Full-year FY25 total income rose to Rs. 4,51,582.15 lakhs from Rs. 4,26,765.33 lakhs in FY24, a growth of roughly 5.8%. However, net profit after tax fell sharply to Rs. 7,137.11 lakhs in Q4 FY25 from Rs. 17,285.32 lakhs in Q4 FY24 (about a 58.7% decline), and for the full year dropped to Rs. 47,606.74 lakhs from Rs. 58,341.68 lakhs (about an 18.4% decline). Basic EPS for FY25 came in at Rs. 422.60 versus Rs. 517.90 in FY24. Prior period figures were restated to reflect the amalgamation of wholly owned subsidiary 3M Electro & Communication India Pvt Ltd with the company, effective April 1, 2023.
Despite top-line growth, the steep drop in net profit, especially in Q4, signals significant margin compression or possible one-time costs, which is negative for shareholders. Investors should watch for management commentary on the Q4 profit decline when reviewing the detailed results on the BSE/NSE websites.
