Eveready Industries India reported FY25 total income of Rs 1,343.9 crore, up 2.3% year-on-year, driven mainly by its Batteries segment. Profit after tax rose 23.5% to Rs 82.4 crore, with PAT margin improving by 100 basis points to 6.1%. Operating EBITDA grew 8.6% to Rs 152.3 crore at an 11.3% margin, despite higher raw material costs (zinc) and adverse forex movements. For Q4 FY25 alone, revenue grew 6.4% to Rs 298.8 crore and PAT jumped 31.3% to Rs 10.5 crore. The Alkaline battery range saw 46.3% sales growth in Q4 and crossed a 14% market share, while the new Jammu alkaline battery plant remains on track for H2 FY26 commissioning, which would make Eveready the only domestic alkaline manufacturer. Lighting and Flashlight segments continue to face industry-wide price pressure, though rechargeable flashlight adoption and distribution expansion are positive levers.
Positive for shareholders: strong double-digit PAT growth, margin expansion, and rising alkaline market share signal improving profitability. The Jammu plant commissioning in H2 FY26 is a key catalyst to watch, as it could strengthen margins and competitive positioning.
