Escorts Kubota's Board, on May 8, 2025, approved audited results for Q4 and FY25 and recommended a final dividend of Rs. 18 (180%) per share, taking total FY25 dividend to Rs. 28 (280%) per share. Standalone FY25 revenue rose to Rs. 10,186.96 Cr from Rs. 9,730.72 Cr (restated) in FY24, while net profit grew to Rs. 1,250.92 Cr from Rs. 1,081.62 Cr. Consolidated FY25 net profit stood at Rs. 1,264.95 Cr versus Rs. 1,076.62 Cr. The results include an exceptional loss of Rs. 27.08 Cr on impairment of investments in Farmtrac Tractors Europe and Adico Escorts Agri Equipment. Prior period figures were restated to reflect the merger of two JVs (Escorts Kubota India and Kubota Agricultural Machinery India) effective April 1, 2023. The Railway Equipment Division, classified as discontinued operations, is being divested to Sona Comstar for Rs. 1,600 Cr on a slump sale basis. Auditor Walker Chandiok & Co LLP issued an unmodified opinion with an Emphasis of Matter on the amalgamation scheme.
The 280% total dividend signals strong cash returns for shareholders despite the small exceptional impairment. Continued top-line and profit growth, healthy operating cash flows (Rs. 1,207 Cr standalone), and the strategic divestment of the railway business suggest a focus on the core agri-machinery segment. Investors should note restated prior-year figures and the discontinued-operations classification when comparing year-on-year performance.
