Godfrey Phillips India reported strong FY25 results with standalone revenue from operations rising about 38.7% to Rs. 675,849 lakhs (vs Rs. 487,340 lakhs last year) and standalone profit from continuing operations growing around 21.7% to Rs. 112,378 lakhs. Consolidated FY25 profit stood at Rs. 107,231 lakhs with EPS of Rs. 206.81. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 60 per share (3,000% on face value of Rs. 2), taking total FY25 dividend to Rs. 95 per share including the Rs. 35 interim dividend already paid. Statutory auditors S.R. Batliboi & Co. LLP issued an unmodified audit opinion. The Board also approved the re-appointment of Mr. Sumant Bharadwaj as Independent Director for a second 5-year term from February 13, 2026, and the appointment of Mr. Paul Janelle as a non-executive non-independent director representing foreign promoter Philip Morris Global Brands Inc. M/s Chandrasekaran Associates was appointed as Secretarial Auditor for FY25-26 to FY29-30.
Strong revenue growth, healthy profit increase and a generous Rs. 95 total dividend per share (yielding well over 4-5% for many investors) are positive for shareholders. The new director appointment from Philip Morris reinforces foreign promoter engagement and is routine; nothing here suggests governance concerns.
