Gujarat Fluorochemicals reported Q4 FY25 revenue of INR 1,225 crores, up 8% year-on-year, with EBITDA of INR 305 crores (up 28%) and margins improving from 21% to 25%. Consolidated PAT nearly doubled to INR 191 crores. Net debt declined to INR 1,451 crores from INR 1,769 crores, improving debt-to-equity from 0.3x to 0.2x. Fluoropolymers drove growth with stable prices and rising volumes, supported by exit of legacy global players. Bulk Chemicals underperformed due to a 15% production loss at the Dahej CMS-1 plant incident and softer MDC prices. Management announced FY26 capex of INR 1,600 crores (INR 1,200 crores for GFCL EV, INR 400 crores for standalone), with the R-32 refrigerant plant targeted for commercial sales in H2 FY26, and LFP battery plant commissioning set to begin the following month.
Positive for shareholders — strong margin expansion, debt reduction, and a clear growth roadmap across Fluoropolymers and EV battery materials. However, the INR 1,200 crore EV capex ahead of confirmed long-term orders and lack of specific revenue/volume guidance for individual battery products may keep near-term valuation in check.
