Naapbooks Limited has submitted its Integrated Annual Report for FY 2024-25 to BSE. Standalone revenue from operations rose to ₹1,218.39 lakhs from ₹776.94 lakhs, a growth of about 57% year-on-year, while standalone profit after tax jumped 170% to ₹448.10 lakhs from ₹165.73 lakhs. The CEO's letter highlights a net profit margin of 36.8% and ROE of 17.1%. During the year, the company completed a 2:1 bonus issue and raised funds via a preferential allotment of 16,94,400 equity shares at ₹61 each (~₹10.34 crore) along with 26,13,100 convertible warrants. The statutory auditor (Chirag R. Shah & Associates) has given a qualified opinion on the consolidated and standalone financial results, while the secretarial auditor's report is clean. Key strategic items include development of the eNotary Platform (pilot testing planned for FY 2025-26), international expansion of VizMan into the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Spain, France, and Singapore in Q2 FY 2025-26, and the launch of a Restaurant SaaS platform and ERP implementation services. The company's subsidiary Café Blockchain became an associate after its stake fell from 75% to 50%. No dividend was recommended for FY 2024-25.
Strong topline and bottomline growth signals business momentum, but the auditor's qualified opinion on the financials is a caution flag for investors. The bonus issue and preferential raise boost liquidity and shareholder base, while upcoming product launches and international expansion in FY 2025-26 are potential growth catalysts. No dividend declared, so income-seeking investors won't see payout this year.
