Kennametal India has published its Q3 and nine-month ended March 31, 2025 unaudited financial results in Financial Express and Sanje Vani newspapers, as required under SEBI LODR regulations. For Q3 FY25, total income from operations rose 7.4% year-on-year to ₹2,941 million, but net profit after tax dropped sharply by about 36% to ₹244 million from ₹383 million a year ago, with EPS falling to ₹11.11 from ₹17.43. For the nine-month period, revenue grew 6.3% to ₹8,576 million while net profit declined nearly 11% to ₹716 million. The Board has declared an interim dividend of ₹40 per share (400%) on a face value of ₹10, with the record date set as May 28, 2025.
Revenue growth is encouraging, but the notable drop in profits despite higher sales signals margin or cost pressure, which may concern investors. The generous 400% interim dividend provides a meaningful cash return to shareholders in the near term.
