Akzo Nobel India shared its Q4 FY25 investor presentation alongside audited results. Q4 revenue grew 5% to ₹1,022 crore, driven mainly by the B2B segment, while Q4 profit after tax dipped 1% to ₹107.5 crore due to lower investment income. For the full year, revenue crossed the ₹4,000 crore mark for the first time (up 3% to ₹4,091 crore), with FY PAT broadly flat at ₹428.6 crore. Margins came under pressure, with gross margin slipping to 43.2%, EBIT margin falling to 13.4%, and PAT margin easing to 10.5%, blamed on product mix dilution and forex volatility. The board recommended a final dividend of ₹30 per share, taking the total FY25 payout to ₹100 per share. The company highlighted continued market share gains in decorative paints and strong order wins in Coil, Extrusion, and B2B, while the Marine segment remained slow.
Shareholders see record revenue and a healthy ₹100 total dividend for FY25, but slight margin compression and a marginal dip in Q4 profit suggest near-term profitability headwinds. Investors will closely watch the parent AkzoNobel NV's portfolio review of its South Asia decorative paints business, which is linked to the ongoing JSW acquisition and was notably not addressed on the call.
