The Board of Lakshmi Finance & Industrial Corporation approved audited financial results for FY25 on 26 May 2025. Total revenue for the year fell sharply to ₹771.91 lakhs from ₹1,488.93 lakhs in FY24, a decline of about 48%. Full-year net profit dropped to ₹353.58 lakhs (₹11.93 per share) from ₹1,043.32 lakhs (₹34.59 per share), a fall of roughly 66%, largely because FY25 results include only ₹151 lakhs of exceptional income versus ₹1,281 lakhs in FY24. The fourth quarter alone swung to a loss of ₹268.17 lakhs, compared with a profit of ₹196.87 lakhs in Q4 FY24. The Board has recommended a 30% dividend (₹3 per share) subject to shareholder approval. The auditor (Brahmayya & Co.) issued an unmodified opinion, and the company has NIL qualified borrowings. Operating cash flow worsened to a negative ₹223.89 lakhs (versus negative ₹103.03 lakhs last year), and cash balances dropped from ₹478.85 lakhs to ₹226.03 lakhs.
Shareholders will receive a maintained 30% dividend, but the steep drop in revenue and profit, the Q4 loss, and the worsening operating cash burn may weigh on sentiment. The company remains debt-free with a clean audit report, but investors should note the heavy reliance on exceptional items to stay profitable and the MAT credit of ₹141.10 lakhs that has not been recognised.
