Metro Brands' Board, at its May 22, 2025 meeting, recommended a final dividend of Rs. 2.50 per equity share (face value Rs. 5) for FY2024-25, subject to shareholder approval. Together with an interim dividend of Rs. 3.00 and a special dividend of Rs. 14.50 paid earlier in the year, total dividends for FY25 aggregate to Rs. 20.00 per share. Standalone revenue from operations rose to Rs. 2,449.61 crore (from Rs. 2,305 crore), but standalone profit after tax fell to Rs. 349.59 crore (from Rs. 417.81 crore). Consolidated revenue grew to Rs. 2,507.39 crore while consolidated PAT declined to Rs. 354.46 crore from Rs. 415.47 crore. Basic EPS for the year stood at Rs. 12.85 (standalone) and Rs. 12.89 (consolidated). Statutory auditors (S R B C & Co LLP) issued an unqualified opinion on the results.
The combined Rs. 20 per share dividend (final Rs. 2.50 plus earlier Rs. 17.50) is a generous payout and signals strong cash returns to shareholders, though the decline in annual profit may temper sentiment. Investors should note the dividend is subject to AGM approval.
