KDDL Limited's board approved audited results for Q4 and FY25 on May 19, 2025. On a consolidated basis, revenue from operations grew 18.4% to Rs. 1,64,788 lakhs (vs Rs. 1,39,103 lakhs in FY24), while consolidated profit after tax rose modestly to Rs. 14,229 lakhs (vs Rs. 13,745 lakhs). Standalone revenue from operations rose 5.4% to Rs. 36,957 lakhs, but standalone PAT fell to Rs. 4,924 lakhs from Rs. 22,006 lakhs, largely because FY24 included a one-time Rs. 12,170 lakh gain on sale of Ethos Limited shares and Rs. 7,207 lakh dividend from Mahen Distribution. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 5 per share (50%) subject to shareholder approval. The company also appointed Mr. Chitranjan Agarwal as an Additional Independent Director and completed a buyback of 2,37,837 shares at Rs. 3,700 each (~Rs. 109 crore outflow) during the year.
Strong consolidated revenue growth is positive for shareholders, but the sharp drop in standalone earnings reflects the absence of last year's exceptional gains rather than weak operations. The final dividend of Rs. 5/share signals steady shareholder returns. Investors should note the auditor's emphasis of matter flagging Estima AG (Swiss subsidiary) as over-indebted under Swiss law, which is a credit-risk concern for that subsidiary, and the change of statutory auditor from S.R. Batliboi to Walker Chandiok.
