Newspaper Publication of Audited Financial Results for the Quarter and Financial Year ended March 31, 2025
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Devyani International, which operates KFC, Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee in India, published its audited financial results for Q4 FY25 and the full financial year in newspapers, as required by SEBI. For Q4 FY25, consolidated revenue grew about 16% year-on-year to Rs 12,125.91 million, while the net loss narrowed sharply to Rs 167.63 million from Rs 489.50 million in Q4 FY24. The company reported a Q4 EBITDA of Rs 2,008 million (up 16% YoY) across 2,039 outlets (15% YoY growth). For the full year, consolidated revenue stood at Rs 49,510.52 million but the company posted a small net loss of Rs 69 million. On a standalone basis, however, it stayed profitable with a full-year net profit of Rs 237.19 million. The Board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 3 per share (30% on face value) and approved the acquisition of up to 0.72% equity in Sky Gate Hospitality.
Revenue and outlet expansion remain strong, but the consolidated net loss for both the quarter and full year is a mild negative for near-term sentiment. The proposed dividend and continued network growth offer some comfort to shareholders.
