For FY25, total income rose to Rs. 8,671 lakhs from Rs. 8,163 lakhs last year (up ~6%), driven by a 4.6% increase in sale of products. However, net profit after tax fell to Rs. 1,533 lakhs from Rs. 1,716 lakhs (~11% decline), and EPS dropped to Rs. 17.10 from Rs. 19.14. Q4 alone was strong, with net profit of Rs. 999 lakhs vs Rs. 470 lakhs a year earlier, lifted by higher revenue. Other expenses jumped ~53% to Rs. 1,920 lakhs, weighing on margins. The Lead Acid Batteries division remains shut, with a fresh Rs. 115 lakh impairment taken on plant and machinery. The Board has recommended a Rs. 3 per share dividend (total Rs. 269 lakhs). Auditor gave an unmodified opinion.
Mixed for shareholders — full-year profit slipped despite higher revenue due to rising costs, but a healthy Q4 and a continued dividend payout are positives. Watch margin trends and the impact of the suspended Lead Acid unit going forward.
