Creative Newtech Limited reported Q4 FY25 total income of Rs. 357.43 crore, up 21.57% year-on-year, driven by strong contributions from Samsung, ViewSonic, Cooler Master, and Honeywell brands. However, profitability dropped sharply — Q4 EBITDA fell 48.94% YoY to Rs. 11.78 crore and PAT declined 58.10% to Rs. 6.47 crore, with margins compressing significantly. For the full year FY25, total income was nearly flat at Rs. 1,665.54 crore, while EBITDA slipped 12.45% to Rs. 45.11 crore and PAT fell 16.79% to Rs. 25.56 crore. Management attributed the yearly decline mainly to the absence of a one-time gain of Rs. 9.90 crore from the slump sale of Ckart in FY24, stating underlying business remains stable. The company highlighted expansion of its Honeywell product suite and growing presence on quick-commerce platforms like Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, and Blinkit.
Despite healthy revenue growth in Q4, steep falls in EBITDA and PAT signal significant margin pressure that may weigh on investor sentiment in the near term. Management's clarification that the FY25 decline is largely due to a non-recurring item from the prior year may help limit negative perception, but the weak Q4 margins will likely draw close scrutiny.
