The Board of Lakshmi Electrical Control Systems approved audited financial results for Q4 and full year ended March 31, 2025. For FY25, revenue from operations fell sharply to Rs. 21,231.22 lakhs from Rs. 33,796.50 lakhs in FY24, a decline of about 37%. Profit after tax dropped steeply to Rs. 347.23 lakhs versus Rs. 1,396.01 lakhs last year, with EPS at Rs. 14.12 versus Rs. 56.79. The Electricals and Plastics segments both saw steep revenue declines, and the Plastics segment slipped into a loss. Statutory auditors Subbachar & Srinivasan issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. The Board recommended a dividend of Rs. 4.00 per share (40%) on the Rs. 10 face value, pending shareholder approval. Cash flow from operations was positive at Rs. 540.81 lakhs and the company has zero qualified borrowings, with networth of Rs. 155.90 crores.
The steep fall in revenue and profits is a clear negative for the stock despite the maintained dividend, which signals capital preservation rather than growth. Shareholders should note weaker segment performance, especially in Plastics and Electricals, though low debt and a clean audit provide some comfort.
