Emerald Finance Limited's board, at its meeting on May 22, 2025, approved audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, with an unmodified opinion from statutory auditors. The board recommended a dividend of Rs. 0.09 per equity share. Standalone total revenue from operations jumped to Rs. 1,342 lacs in FY25 from Rs. 739 lacs in FY24 (about 82% growth), while profit after tax more than doubled to Rs. 644 lacs from Rs. 301 lacs. Consolidated revenue rose to Rs. 2,157 lacs (FY24: Rs. 1,332 lacs) and PAT climbed to Rs. 889 lacs from Rs. 414 lacs. The company also reported two preferential allotments: 10 lakh shares on Dec 28, 2024 raising Rs. 10 crore, and 7.65 lakh shares on March 31, 2025 raising Rs. 10.02 crore, both earmarked for business expansion including Earned Wages Access (EWA), with no deviation in fund use. Operating cash flow, however, was negative at Rs. (1,601) lacs standalone, with the net cash increase driven by financing activities.
Strong top-line and bottom-line growth with margin expansion signals improving business momentum and shareholder rewards via dividend. However, the negative operating cash flow despite rising profits indicates rising loans and advances, which investors should monitor as it may tie up working capital in lending activities.
