Elegant Floriculture & Agrotech reported audited FY25 results with revenue from operations rising sharply to Rs. 128.93 lacs from Rs. 60.12 lacs last year (over 2x growth), while total income climbed to Rs. 278.21 lacs from Rs. 113.71 lacs. Profit before tax jumped to Rs. 146.40 lacs versus Rs. 2.36 lacs, translating to a total comprehensive income of Rs. 115.92 lacs (vs Rs. 1.70 lacs) and EPS of Rs. 0.58 (vs Rs. 0.01). The Q4 standalone quarter saw weaker revenue of Rs. 8.81 lacs versus Rs. 21.24 lacs a year ago, though quarterly PAT improved. The auditor (Valawat & Associates) issued an unqualified opinion but flagged that the Company Secretary is yet to be appointed and that interest income now exceeds operating revenue, requiring NBFC registration with RBI. Operating cash flow remained deeply negative at Rs. (775.50) lacs, mainly due to a surge of Rs. 1,182.78 lacs in short-term loans.
Strong headline profit growth is driven mostly by interest/other income rather than core floriculture operations, and the company's pivot toward lending/lending-like activities raises regulatory and going-concern questions. Negative operating cash flow, dependence on new borrowings of Rs. 778.55 lacs, and pending NBFC registration are key red flags that may concern shareholders despite the upbeat reported numbers.
