James Warren Tea Limited reported audited results for Q4 and full year FY25, with profit before tax jumping to ₹103.99 crores from just ₹1.52 crores in FY24. This dramatic rise was almost entirely driven by exceptional items worth ₹70.74 crores — ₹55.95 crores from the sale of Dhoedaam Tea Estate and ₹14.79 crores from Rajah Alli Tea Estate. The statutory auditor, B. Chhawchharia & Co., issued an un-modified (clean) opinion. Total assets nearly doubled to ₹209.99 crores, with current investments surging from ₹24.95 crores to ₹132.09 crores, reflecting deployment of the asset sale proceeds. The board also re-appointed Mr. Sandip Das as Whole-time Director and appointed Mr. Santosh Kumar Tibrewalla as Secretarial Auditor for five years.
The headline profit is mostly a one-time gain from tea estate sales and not reflective of regular operating performance. However, the stronger balance sheet, cash position, and the share buyback of about ₹21.41 crores already executed during the year could support shareholder returns.
