Enclosed, please find herewith a Press Release on Audited financial results for the 4th quarter and Financial Year ended March 31, 2025, which were approved by the Audit Committee and Board ....
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
HFCL Limited reported its FY25 audited results with consolidated revenue declining 8.97% YoY to ₹4,064.52 crore, while EBITDA fell sharply by 25.71% to ₹506.75 crore, dragging EBITDA margin down 281 basis points to 12.47%. Profit after tax nearly halved, dropping 48.67% to ₹173.26 crore. The Q4 performance was particularly weak, with the company slipping into losses — consolidated EBITDA of -₹22.33 crore and PAT of -₹83.30 crore. Management attributed the weakness to a downturn in optical fiber cable demand, margin pressure from newly launched telecom products, and slower EPC offtake. Despite the weak results, the company announced a 10% dividend and highlighted a strong order book of ₹9,967 crore, guiding for 25-30% revenue growth in FY26 supported by full capacity utilization.
Shareholders face a mixed picture — weak FY25 earnings and a loss-making Q4 raise near-term concerns, but the robust order book, capacity ramp-up, and management's optimistic FY26 growth guidance offer a recovery narrative. The stock may see short-term pressure on the disappointing numbers, though the dividend and growth outlook could provide some support.
