JK Paper reported a consolidated turnover of Rs. 7,120.20 crore for FY25, with EBITDA of Rs. 1,036.28 crore and profit after tax of Rs. 409.82 crore. For Q4 FY25 alone, the company posted a turnover of Rs. 1,805.28 crore, EBITDA of Rs. 241.63 crore, and PAT of Rs. 76.20 crore. The company achieved its highest-ever sales of 8.06 lakh metric tonnes during the year, but management noted that profits were hit by a surge in low-priced imports and elevated wood costs. The board has recommended a dividend of Rs. 5 per share (50%), totalling Rs. 84.70 crore, for FY25.
Mixed signals for shareholders – record sales volumes and a healthy dividend are positives, but pressure on margins from cheap imports and higher raw material costs weighed on profitability. The two acquisitions (Radhesham Wellpack and Quadragen Vethealth) signal growth push into packaging and adjacent segments, which could support future revenue diversification.
