SKF India reported FY25 standalone revenue from operations of Rs. 4,919.9 crore, up about 7.7% from Rs. 4,570.1 crore in FY24. Profit after tax grew modestly by 2.5% to Rs. 565.8 crore (from Rs. 551.8 crore), with EPS at Rs. 114.4 versus Rs. 111.6. For Q4 FY25 alone, PAT jumped 16% YoY to Rs. 202.8 crore on revenue of Rs. 1,213.4 crore. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 14.5 per equity share. Statutory auditor Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on both standalone and consolidated results. Consolidated results are largely in line with standalone, given the small size of its subsidiary and associates.
Steady, low-double-digit revenue growth with marginal profit growth suggests a stable but slowing business. The sharp drop in operating cash flow (Rs. 203 crore vs Rs. 624 crore last year, largely because dividend payouts jumped to Rs. 643 crore from Rs. 197 crore) drained cash on the balance sheet by about Rs. 507 crore — worth watching but not a red flag given the clean audit and negligible debt. Modest dividend is supportive for retail shareholders.
