ITC Limited's board approved audited standalone and consolidated results for Q4 and FY25 (ended March 31, 2025), along with a recommended final dividend of Rs. 7.85 per share. Together with the interim dividend of Rs. 6.50, total FY25 dividend is Rs. 14.35 per share, up from Rs. 13.75 last year. Standalone revenue from operations grew about 10% to Rs. 74,236 crore from Rs. 67,293 crore, driven by FMCG-Cigarettes, Agri Business, and Paperboards. The Hotels business demerger (effective January 1, 2025) into ITC Hotels Limited was completed, with ITC now holding 39.88% as an associate. The demerger resulted in a large one-time exceptional gain of Rs. 15,163 crore (standalone), pushing reported PAT to Rs. 35,196 crore versus Rs. 20,422 crore last year. Auditors S R B C & Co LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. The company also announced multiple acquisitions, including Century Pulp and Paper, Ample Foods, Sresta Natural Bioproducts, and the remaining stake in Mother Sparsh.
Shareholders get a higher total dividend (Rs. 14.35 vs Rs. 13.75) and continued strong topline momentum. The headline PAT surge is largely driven by a one-time, non-cash demerger gain, so underlying business performance should be judged on continuing operations (revenue up ~10%). The Hotels demerger gives ITC shareholders direct listed exposure to ITC Hotels, and the acquisitions signal aggressive expansion in FMCG and Paperboards. Overall, the results are positive for shareholders with clean audit and steady dividend growth.
