HPL Electric & Power reported audited results for Q4 and FY25 with strong growth across both standalone and consolidated bases. Standalone FY25 revenue rose to Rs. 1,684.4 crore from Rs. 1,420.9 crore (~18.6% YoY), while net profit more than doubled to Rs. 86.8 crore from Rs. 41.3 crore (~110% YoY). Consolidated FY25 revenue came in at Rs. 1,700.2 crore with PAT of Rs. 94 crore. Q4 standalone revenue grew about 23% YoY to Rs. 508.4 crore, with PAT jumping to Rs. 32.7 crore. Both the Metering segment and Consumer/Industrial segment contributed to the growth, with EBITDA margins expanding. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 1.00 (10%) per share, subject to shareholder approval. Statutory auditor Sakshi & Associates issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on both results.
Sharp profit growth driven by operating leverage and margin expansion is positive for shareholders, and the dividend payout signals management confidence. However, investors should watch the steep rise in inventories (Rs. 663.3 crore, up from Rs. 556.8 crore) and trade receivables, which stretched working capital despite healthy operating cash flow.
