KELTECH Energies reported FY25 revenue from operations of Rs. 48,778.75 lakhs, up about 8.6% from Rs. 44,934.36 lakhs in FY24. Net profit (PAT) for the year rose to Rs. 2,494.11 lakhs from Rs. 1,941.28 lakhs, a growth of roughly 28.5%, with EPS at Rs. 249.41 vs Rs. 194.13. The Explosives segment remained the key growth driver, while the Perlite segment swung to a small loss for the year. Statutory auditors CNK & Associates LLP issued an unmodified (clean) audit opinion. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 1.50 per share (15%), unchanged from the previous year. A notable red flag is that cash flow from operations turned negative at Rs. (1,757.03) lakhs versus a positive Rs. 5,120.34 lakhs in FY24, driven largely by a sharp jump in receivables and other current assets.
Strong profit growth and a clean audit are positives for shareholders, but the negative operating cash flow and a Rs. 869.53 lakh increase in short-term borrowings suggest the company is stretching its working capital. The steady 15% dividend provides some income support, though investors should watch whether cash flows normalise in coming quarters.
