Metro Brands reported FY25 consolidated revenue of ₹2,507.39 crores, up about 6.4% from ₹2,356.70 crores in FY24. Consolidated profit after tax came in at ₹354.46 crores, down roughly 14.7% from ₹415.47 crores, primarily dragged by a one-time tax adjustment of about ₹25 crores linked to a prior-year reconciliation of the FILA business (₹6.81 cr current tax + ₹18.21 cr reversal of deferred tax assets). Q4 FY25 revenue grew about 10.3% year-on-year to ₹642.77 crores, though Q4 PAT fell to ₹95.34 crores from ₹155.57 crores due to the same tax item. Operating cash flow was strong at ₹697.53 crores versus ₹590.08 crores. The Board recommended a final dividend of ₹2.50 per share, taking total FY25 dividends to ₹20 per share (including an interim ₹3 and a special ₹14.50 already paid). Statutory auditors SRBC & Co LLP issued an unqualified (clean) opinion on both standalone and consolidated results.
The headline PAT decline is largely cosmetic — the prior-year tax true-up is a non-recurring hit and underlying operations remain healthy with mid-single-digit revenue growth, double-digit Q4 revenue growth, and robust cash generation. Shareholders benefit from an exceptionally generous dividend payout this year, but the special dividend is unlikely to be repeated annually.
