Lactose India Ltd reported FY25 total income from operations of ₹11,639.93 lakhs, up marginally from ₹11,388.98 lakhs in FY24 (~2.2% growth). Net profit after tax fell sharply to ₹516.29 lakhs from ₹678.90 lakhs (down ~24%), with EPS declining to ₹4.10 from ₹5.39. Q4 FY25 was particularly weak with PAT of just ₹64.22 lakhs versus ₹239.83 lakhs in Q4 FY24. Operating cash flow turned negative at ₹(29.25) lakhs compared to ₹874.53 lakhs last year, driven by higher working capital needs. Current borrowings more than doubled to ₹3,031.11 lakhs. The company issued 15 lakh convertible warrants at ₹174 each in December 2024. The statutory auditor was changed from C A S & Co to DMKH & Co, who issued an unmodified (clean) opinion.
Despite stable revenue, sharp profit decline and negative operating cash flow signal margin pressure and rising working capital needs for shareholders. The auditor change and increased borrowings are worth monitoring, though a clean audit opinion provides some comfort.
