Lotus Chocolate Company reported FY25 revenue from operations of ₹57,375 lakh, up sharply from ₹20,003 lakh in FY24, and profit after tax of ₹1,722.72 lakh versus ₹505.52 lakh, with EPS rising to ₹13.42 from ₹3.84. Much of this jump comes from the amalgamation of its wholly-owned subsidiary Soubhagya Confectionery Private Limited, which merged with an appointed date of May 25, 2023, so prior-year figures were restated to reflect the merger. Statutory auditor Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the results. However, operating cash flow turned sharply negative at ₹(12,959.67) lakh compared with ₹(2,096.63) lakh last year, and short-term borrowings surged to ₹14,837.71 lakh from just ₹528.80 lakh, signalling a steep rise in working-capital debt.
Headline profit and revenue growth is strong and supportive for shareholders, but the company is funding this growth mostly through short-term borrowings and is burning cash from operations, which raises leverage and liquidity concerns that investors should weigh against the top-line story.
