Kaveri Seed Company reported FY25 revenue of ₹1,121.57 crore, up 5.57% from ₹1,062.43 crore last year, with EBITDA of ₹274.29 crore (up 1.43%) and profit after tax of ₹265.21 crore, down from ₹293 crore in FY24. The PAT dip was blamed on a one-time interest charge on a loan to the employees' trust, higher ESOP costs, and increased depreciation from a new office. Q4FY25 was weak, with revenue of ₹76.95 crore and a net loss of ₹29.25 crore, partly because there were no exports this quarter versus ₹24 crore of sales to Tanzania a year ago. Strong non-cotton momentum stood out: hybrid rice volumes rose 13%, selection rice 22%, maize 7%, and vegetables 3%, while cotton hybrid volumes fell 35% and revenues 27%. Full-year exports dropped to ₹22 crore from ₹66 crore due to political unrest in Bangladesh and no sunflower order from Tanzania, but cash on the balance sheet grew to ₹556 crore from ₹443 crore.
The full-year picture is mixed: healthy revenue growth and strong non-cotton volume momentum are positives, but the PAT decline, weak Q4, and sharp fall in cotton and export sales may limit near-term upside. Shareholders should watch whether non-cotton growth sustains and whether export headwinds from Bangladesh and Tanzania ease in FY26.
