Kanoria Chemicals reported its audited standalone and consolidated results for FY25 with the board recommending no dividend. Standalone revenue from operations grew 17.6% to ₹67,830 lakhs (FY24: ₹57,686 lakhs), while consolidated revenue rose 4.2% to ₹1,53,671 lakhs. However, the company slipped into a standalone net loss of ₹3,798 lakhs (vs ₹112 lakh loss in FY24) and a consolidated net loss of ₹10,815 lakhs (vs ₹5,528 lakh loss). The losses were driven by exceptional items worth ₹4,499 lakhs on standalone (impairment of investments in subsidiaries Kanoria Africa Textiles PLC and APAG Holding AG) and ₹2,944 lakhs goodwill impairment on consolidated. The Solar Power Division was classified as discontinued operations following its slump sale. Auditor Singhi & Co. issued an unmodified opinion on both sets of results.
Shareholders see no dividend and a significant bottom-line loss despite revenue growth, primarily due to one-time impairments in foreign subsidiaries, which may weigh on near-term sentiment though core operations show operating profit growth. The fresh impairments raise concerns about the value of overseas subsidiaries but are non-cash in nature.
