Kajaria Ceramics announced audited results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025 with a clean (unmodified) audit opinion from Walker Chandiok & Co LLP. Standalone revenue grew modestly to Rs. 4,218.82 crores (vs Rs. 4,103.02 crores in FY24), but standalone PAT fell sharply to Rs. 204.14 crores from Rs. 381.45 crores, mainly due to a Rs. 112.38 crore exceptional charge for fully impairing its investment and loan in wholly-owned subsidiary Kajaria Plywood Pvt Ltd, which is being shut down by June 30, 2025 due to continued losses. Consolidated revenue rose to Rs. 4,635.07 crores with consolidated PAT of Rs. 300.02 crores (vs Rs. 432.16 crores). The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 4 per share, taking total FY25 dividend to Rs. 9 per share (vs Rs. 12 in FY24), aggregating Rs. 143.34 crores. The company also withdrew its Rs. 30 crore proposed investment in Kajaria Ultima and dismantled one old line at its Sikandrabad plant, reducing capacity from 11.40 MSM to 8.80 MSM. New Secretarial Auditor Chandrasekaran Associates was appointed for five years from FY26.
Headline earnings look weak because of the one-time Rs. 112 crore plywood subsidiary write-off, but core ceramics business remains profitable with operating cash flow of Rs. 454.51 crores (standalone) and a clean audit. The exit from loss-making plywood, dividend payout, and capacity rationalisation signal focus on the core tiles business, though dividend cut from Rs. 12 to Rs. 9 per share and lower standalone operating margin vs FY24 may weigh on short-term sentiment.
