Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Finolex Industries Limited published its audited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2025 in Financial Express and Loksatta on May 25, 2025. On a consolidated basis, full-year revenue from operations stood at ₹4,141.97 crore and net profit after tax was ₹800.03 crore, with diluted EPS of ₹12.94. Reported profits include a one-time exceptional gain of ₹416.99 crore from the transfer of leasehold land rights on about 25.27 acres at Chinchwad, Pune. For Q4 FY25 on a standalone basis, revenue was ₹1,171.81 crore and net profit after tax was ₹150.26 crore, marginally lower than ₹161.43 crore in Q4 FY24. The Board has recommended a final dividend of ₹2.00 and a special dividend of ₹1.60 per share (₹3.60 total, or 180%) on a ₹2 face value share, subject to shareholder approval.
A combined 180% dividend is a clear positive for income-focused shareholders, but the big jump in full-year profit is mostly driven by a one-time land sale gain, while underlying Q4 standalone earnings slipped slightly versus the previous year, suggesting core business growth remains muted.
