Kansai Nerolac Paints' Board approved audited standalone and consolidated results for Q4 and FY ended 31st March 2025. Standalone revenue from operations rose marginally to Rs. 7,496.71 crore (vs Rs. 7,393.30 crore in FY24), while profit before tax (before exceptional items) dipped slightly to Rs. 907.42 crore from Rs. 923.57 crore. Standalone profit after tax (after exceptionals) fell about 14% to Rs. 1,021.24 crore, dragged by a smaller one-time gain this year. The Board recommended a total dividend of 375% (Rs. 3.75 per share) including a Rs. 1.25 special dividend — unchanged from FY24. Statutory auditors S R B C & Co LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the results.
Flat dividend for the second year in a row may underwhelm income-seeking investors, and the marginal top-line growth with slight dip in core operating profit signals that core paints business growth remains muted. However, a clean audit report, strong cash generation (operating cash flow improved to Rs. 998.50 crore), and special dividend signal balance sheet strength and shareholder rewards despite weak demand conditions.
