JK Lakshmi Cement reported strong full-year performance with PAT growing 52% to Rs 430.34 Crores (vs Rs 282.72 Crores in FY25). Net sales increased 9.2% to Rs 6,762.63 Crores with sales volume up 10% to 133.46 lakh tonnes. Q4 PAT declined to Rs 138.22 Crores from Rs 169.81 Crores due to exceptional items. The company recognized Rs 325 Crore derecognition of investment due to cancellation of MDO contract by AMDCL, while simultaneously writing back Rs 195 Crore liability and booking Rs 130 Crore as claims recoverable (subject to legal proceedings). New subsidiary NECEM Cement acquired with goodwill of Rs 18.83 Crores. Auditor issued clean/unmodified opinion. Board recommended dividend of Rs 6.50 per share (130%). Net Debt/EBITDA improved to 1.12x from 1.50x showing deleveraging.
Strong full-year profitability growth of 52% with improving leverage metrics and clean audit opinion is positive for shareholders. The large exceptional items reflect ongoing legal dispute over MDO contract but management expects recovery. Dividend and expansion plans (Rs 3,000 Crore capex) signal confidence.
