GHCL posted a strong Q4 FY25 with EBITDA up 22% year-on-year to Rs. 244 Cr, even as revenue fell 4% to Rs. 807 Cr. EBITDA margin expanded sharply to 30.2% from 23.9% in Q4 FY24, driven by operating leverage, cost optimization and higher volumes. For the full year FY25, EBITDA rose 7% to Rs. 966 Cr with margins improving to 29.5% from 25.7%, while PAT (excluding prior-year exceptional gain) was up 9% to Rs. 626 Cr. The company ended FY25 with a net cash surplus of Rs. 982 Cr, deployed Rs. 311 Cr in growth capex, paid Rs. 114 Cr in dividends, and repaid Rs. 101 Cr of debt. Management guided that the Vacuum Salt and Bromine project is on track for FY26 commissioning, with a greenfield Soda Ash project (5.5 lakh MT in two phases) and a new 16,000-acre salt field in Kutch as long-term growth drivers. Global soda ash oversupply, softer pricing trends and tariff volatility were flagged as headwinds, while India's Minimum Import Price is seen as a buffer for domestic players.
Margin expansion, net cash balance sheet and steady dividend payout are positives for shareholders, but global soda ash oversupply and tariff risks may keep near-term revenue under pressure. Successful commissioning of the Vacuum Salt, Bromine and Greenfield Soda Ash projects over the next 1-3 years will be key to sustaining the 15% bottom-line CAGR target.
