The Board approved audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and FY25, with auditors Lodha & Co LLP issuing an unmodified opinion. Full-year revenue from operations grew about 9.2% to Rs. 32,508 lakhs (vs Rs. 29,768 lakhs in FY24), while net profit rose modestly to Rs. 3,500 lakhs (vs Rs. 3,441 lakhs), translating to EPS of Rs. 23.70. Q4 net profit dipped to Rs. 607 lakhs from Rs. 797 lakhs a year ago, weighed down by an exceptional item of Rs. 1,275 lakhs towards settlement of a disputed claim of ex-workmen. Q4 other income was unusually high at Rs. 881 lakhs, boosted by a Rs. 375 lakh fire insurance claim and Rs. 513 lakh profit from sale of residential premises. The Board recommended a dividend of Rs. 2 per share (face value Rs. 5) and approved a Rs. 480 lakh capacity expansion for railway brake blocks/pads, funded entirely from internal resources.
Core FY25 growth was modest with the headline PAT figure flattered by one-time insurance and property sale gains, while Q4 earnings were hit by the ex-workmen settlement charge. Shareholders get a small Rs. 2/share dividend and a marginal capacity expansion plan, so the stock is unlikely to see a strong positive reaction.
