JK Paper's Board, at its May 19, 2025 meeting, approved audited standalone and consolidated results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, and recommended a final dividend of Rs. 5 per share (50% on face value of Rs. 10) totaling Rs. 84.70 crore. On a standalone basis, FY25 revenue from operations was around Rs. 5,737 crore versus Rs. 6,201 crore in FY24, a decline, while standalone PAT was about Rs. 370 crore versus Rs. 357 crore. Consolidated revenue rose modestly to Rs. 7,120 crore from Rs. 7,000 crore, with consolidated PAT at Rs. 412 crore versus Rs. 406 crore. The company flagged that lower sales realisations from continued high imports and higher wood costs hurt performance. Two new subsidiaries were added during the year — Radhesham Wellpack (Feb 2025) and Quadragen Vethealth (March 2025) — and a composite scheme of arrangement among subsidiaries is pending approvals. Auditor Lodha & Co issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on both standalone and consolidated results.
The Rs. 5 dividend offers a reasonable payout to shareholders and the clean audit opinion is reassuring, but the standalone revenue decline and management's note on pricing pressure from imports and wood costs suggest margin headwinds remain. The acquisitions and pending scheme make prior-period comparisons less meaningful, so investors should focus on the consolidated trajectory and margin trends going forward.
