Kajaria Ceramics' Board approved audited standalone and consolidated results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, with statutory auditors (Walker Chandiok & Co LLP) issuing an unmodified opinion. Standalone revenue grew modestly to Rs. 4,218.82 crores (~2.8% YoY), but standalone profit after tax fell sharply to Rs. 204.14 crores from Rs. 381.45 crores, mainly dragged by a one-time Rs. 112.38 crore exceptional impairment on its wholly-owned subsidiary Kajaria Plywood Private Limited (KPPL), whose operations are being discontinued by June 30, 2025 due to continued losses. Consolidated revenue rose to Rs. 4,635.07 crores (~3.6% YoY), with consolidated PAT (including discontinued operations) at Rs. 300.02 crores versus Rs. 432.16 crores. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 4 per share, taking total FY25 dividend to Rs. 9 per share (down from Rs. 12 in FY24). The company also dismantled an old manufacturing line at Sikandrabad, reducing capacity from 11.40 MSM to 8.80 MSM, withdrew a Rs. 30 crore investment in Kajaria Ultima, and appointed new secretarial auditors for FY26–FY30.
Profitability took a hit from the KPPL impairment and margin pressure, with overall dividend payout declining year-on-year — likely a negative near-term sentiment for the stock. However, the clean audit opinion, focus on the core tiles business by exiting loss-making units, and capacity rationalisation are positive longer-term signals.
