New Light Apparels Limited reported audited standalone results for FY25 with revenue from operations of Rs. 1,724.57 lakh, up about 43% from Rs. 1,205.27 lakh in FY24. Profit before tax rose sharply to Rs. 101.28 lakh (vs Rs. 36.73 lakh), and profit after tax jumped to Rs. 113.99 lakh (vs Rs. 36.64 lakh), aided by a Rs. 12.71 lakh deferred tax credit. However, Q4 FY25 was weak on a sequential and year-on-year basis, with revenue of Rs. 336.94 lakh (down from Rs. 587.91 lakh in Q4 FY24). The auditor NGMKS & Associates issued an unmodified opinion. Operating cash flow turned sharply negative at Rs. (700.49) lakh, driven mainly by a Rs. 512.54 lakh jump in trade receivables. The board also appointed Ms. Himanshi Sharma as Additional Executive Director. Equity capital expanded to Rs. 876 lakh following share split (Rs. 10 to Rs. 1), warrant conversions and fresh allotments, while borrowings fell from Rs. 400.78 lakh to Rs. 5.54 lakh.
Strong annual profit growth and a cleaner balance sheet (debt nearly wiped out) are positives, but the steep Q4 revenue dip and large negative operating cash flow due to rising receivables raise concerns about cash quality and working capital discipline. Shareholders should watch whether the FY25 receivable build gets collected and whether Q4 weakness extends into FY26.
