Datamatics' board, at its May 15, 2025 meeting, approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, along with an unmodified auditor opinion from M L Bhuwania & Co LLP. Consolidated FY25 revenue from operations rose about 11% YoY to Rs. 1,723.36 crores, while profit after tax grew roughly 4% to Rs. 205.51 crores; Q4 FY25 consolidated revenue jumped 20% YoY to Rs. 497.15 crores. Standalone numbers were weaker, with revenue falling about 6% to Rs. 710.52 crores and PAT dropping around 30% to Rs. 52.10 crores, indicating sharp margin compression in the parent. An exceptional item of Rs. 31.57 crores (consolidated FY25) was recorded, mainly from an exchange gain on buyback of a subsidiary's equity and acquisition-related expenses. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 5 per share (100% on face value of Rs. 5) and appointed new secretarial and internal auditors. The auditor flagged that a step-down RPA subsidiary has a negative net worth of Rs. 35.73 crores, with no provision made as management expects a turnaround. Results include the impact of recent acquisitions of Dextara Digital and TNQ Tech, making prior-year comparisons not strictly comparable.
The 100% final dividend and continued double-digit consolidated growth are positives for shareholders, supported by strong operating cash flow of Rs. 223.72 crores. However, weakness in the standalone business, a consolidating margin profile, and a negative-net-worth step-down subsidiary are watch items that could cap near-term valuation upside.
