Financial results for quarter and year ended on 31st March, 2025.
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
DS Kulkarni Developers reported FY25 total income of Rs 7,560.12 lakhs, sharply higher than Rs 2,823.91 lakhs in FY24, including revenue from operations of Rs 7,550 lakhs. The company swung from a net loss of Rs 888.32 lakhs to a net profit of Rs 560.20 lakhs, taking EPS to Rs 5.60 from a negative Rs 8.88. Despite the profit, operating cash flow was deeply negative at Rs (10,016.92) lakhs (vs positive Rs 32,010.88 lakhs last year), mainly because trade receivables ballooned by Rs 5,474.50 lakhs. The board approved writing off investments in three subsidiaries — DSK Developers Corporation, DSK Woods LLC and DSK Infra Pvt Ltd — citing no access to financial records from the erstwhile promoter. The balance sheet still shows negative other equity of Rs (13,842.67) lakhs, leaving total equity at Rs (12,842.67) lakhs. Material related party transactions will be placed before shareholders for approval. Auditor M/s ARTHA and Associates issued an unmodified (clean) opinion.
The headline return to profit is encouraging, but the negative net worth, poor cash conversion and governance issues (subsidiary write-off due to missing records from prior management) signal that financial fragility remains. Shareholders should weigh these red flags despite the improved reported earnings, and watch for shareholder approval outcomes on the material related party transactions.
