Crest Ventures Limited's board, meeting on May 28, 2025, approved audited financial results for Q4 and FY25 (both standalone and consolidated). On a standalone basis, total income rose to ₹16,414.03 lakhs from ₹13,994.69 lakhs, while net profit after tax jumped to ₹7,882.43 lakhs from ₹4,965.88 lakhs, a growth of nearly 59%. Consolidated net profit (including share of associates) grew to ₹9,152.11 lakhs from ₹6,077.16 lakhs. The board also recommended a final dividend of ₹1.00 per equity share (10% on face value of ₹10) for FY25, subject to shareholder approval. The company has appointed new statutory, secretarial, and internal auditors, with the current statutory auditor MGB & Co. LLP being replaced by N A Shah Associates LLP for a three-year term from FY26. Additionally, the board has authorized management to begin exploratory work on a potential demerger of its financial services business. The statutory auditor issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the FY25 results.
Strong FY25 earnings, with standalone PAT growing nearly 59% year-on-year, and a 10% dividend are positive for shareholders. The proposed demerger of the financial services business is a material corporate development that could unlock value but remains in early exploratory stages. The change in statutory auditor and weak operating cashflow warrant a closer look at the quality and sustainability of earnings.
