Hikal Limited's board approved audited standalone and consolidated results for Q4 FY25 and the full year ended March 31, 2025. Standalone revenue from operations grew 4.2% YoY to ₹18,598M (₹17,846M in FY24), while profit before tax jumped ~30% to ₹1,239M and net profit rose to ₹905M (from ₹695M), with basic EPS at ₹7.37 vs ₹5.64. Q4 standalone revenue stood at ₹5,524M with net profit of ₹503M. The board recommended a final dividend of ₹0.80 per share (40% on face value), taking total FY25 dividend to ₹1.40/share (70%), up from ₹1.20/share (60%) last year. Sameer Hiremath was redesignated from Managing Director to Vice Chairman & Managing Director, and new Secretarial Auditors (Dhrumil M. Shah & Co. LLP for 5 years) and Cost Auditors (V.J. Talati & Co. for FY26) were appointed. Auditors issued an unmodified opinion, but flagged an ongoing environmental compliance matter before the Supreme Court (₹174.5M NGT compensation order, stayed).
Strong FY25 results with ~30% growth in profits and a higher dividend payout signal improving shareholder returns, likely to be viewed positively by the market. The pending Supreme Court environmental case remains a key overhang, though no additional provisioning was deemed necessary.
