Graphite India announced audited results for FY25 (year ended March 31, 2025) with auditors issuing an unmodified opinion on both standalone and consolidated results. Standalone revenue from operations fell to Rs. 2,420 Cr from Rs. 2,894 Cr in FY24, while consolidated revenue declined to Rs. 2,560 Cr from Rs. 2,950 Cr, mainly due to lower electrode prices. Standalone profit before exceptional item and tax jumped to Rs. 569 Cr from Rs. 125 Cr, but reported PAT dropped to Rs. 452 Cr from Rs. 872 Cr because FY24 included a one-time Rs. 954 Cr gain from sale of Bengaluru land. Inventory write-down of Rs. 110 Cr (standalone) was taken on falling electrode prices. The board recommended a dividend of Rs. 11 per share (on Rs. 2 face value), appointed Mr. Debanjan Mandal as Independent Director, and reappointed Bajaj Todi & Associates as Secretarial Auditors for 5 years.
Revenue contraction reflects weak electrode pricing environment, though core operating profitability improved sharply on lower raw material costs. The high dividend payout signals continued strong cash position despite the absence of last year's exceptional land-sale gain, which will make year-on-year PAT comparisons look weak.
