Lotus Chocolate Company reported a strong FY25 with revenue from operations surging to ₹57,375.03 lakh from ₹20,003.13 lakh in FY24, a growth of nearly 187%. Profit after tax jumped to ₹1,722.72 lakh from ₹505.52 lakh, up about 241%, pushing EPS to ₹13.42 versus ₹3.84. The results include the merged entity Soubhagya Confectionery, with prior-year numbers restated for comparison. Despite the strong headline numbers, the company reported a sharply negative operating cash flow of ₹(12,959.67) lakh and saw current borrowings balloon to ₹14,837.71 lakh from ₹528.80 lakh, lifting the debt-to-equity ratio sharply. Auditor Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued an unmodified opinion on the results.
Topline and profit growth are impressive, supported by the amalgamation, but the steep jump in working capital, negative operating cash flow, and large rise in borrowings signal aggressive expansion funded by debt — investors should watch cash conversion and leverage closely. The stock may react positively to the profit growth headline, though the quality of earnings backed by cash flow is a concern.
