Hindoostan Mills Limited reported audited results for FY25 showing a sharp deterioration in performance. Total income fell to Rs. 3,799.14 lakhs from Rs. 9,423.97 lakhs in FY24, a drop of nearly 60%. The company swung to a loss of Rs. 1,077.39 lakhs in FY25 compared to a profit of Rs. 126.80 lakhs in FY24, with EPS turning negative at Rs. (64.72). The loss was driven by the Textile segment, which recorded a loss of Rs. 1,328.26 lakhs. The Engineering segment remained profitable at Rs. 154.01 lakhs. The Board also approved the closure of the underperforming Textile Division (which was already under temporary suspension) effective April 15, 2025, pending government approval. The statutory auditor issued an unmodified opinion but included an Emphasis of Matter paragraph highlighting the textile division closure.
This is a significant negative development for shareholders - the company has reported a full-year loss after the textile division's troubles and has decided to shut it down entirely. While the Engineering division remains profitable and operating cash flows are still positive (Rs. 415.68 lakhs), the scale of the loss and the strategic exit from textiles may weigh on the stock. Shareholders should monitor the closure process, recovery of the Rs. 253.77 lakhs textile contingent liability, and pending interest subsidy of Rs. 127.73 lakhs from the government.
