Creative Newtech Limited (NSE: CREATIVE), a distributor of IT, imaging, lifestyle, and security products, reported its consolidated Q4 FY25 results on May 15, 2025. Q4 Total Income rose 27.54% YoY to Rs. 408.72 crore, driven by Samsung, ViewSonic, Cooler Master, and Honeywell. However, profitability weakened sharply — Q4 EBITDA fell 31.97% to Rs. 19.08 crore and PAT dropped 32.56% to Rs. 13.73 crore, with EBITDA and PAT margins contracting by 408 bps and 299 bps respectively. For the full year FY25, Total Income grew 3.48% to Rs. 1,801.47 crore, EBITDA rose 5.27% to Rs. 72.86 crore, and PAT grew 10.07% to Rs. 53.11 crore. Management attributed FY25 results partly to the absence of a Rs. 9.90 crore one-time gain from the Ckart slump sale recorded in FY24.
Mixed signals for shareholders — strong revenue growth in Q4 was offset by significant margin compression and a sharp fall in quarterly profits. Full-year numbers remain healthy with double-digit PAT growth, but the worrying Q4 margin trend and absence of last year's one-time gain could temper near-term investor sentiment.
