NRB Bearings reported strong Q4 FY25 results with total income rising 16.2% year-on-year to Rs 332 crores, driven by solid growth in commercial vehicle and industrial segments. EBITDA grew 30.5% to Rs 63 crores with margins expanding 207 basis points to 19.0%, reflecting better cost control and raw material management despite forex fluctuations. For the full year FY25, total income grew 9.6% to Rs 1,199 crores, EBITDA rose 15.4% to Rs 224 crores, and profit before exceptional items jumped 31.1% to Rs 121 crores, also helped by a 50% drop in finance costs. However, a one-time settlement of Rs 55 crores paid to NIBL over trademark, brand, and IP usage restrictions led to an exceptional charge, pushing Q4 PAT after exceptional items into a Rs 1 crore loss and cutting FY25 PAT after exceptional items to Rs 82 crores, down 65.9%. The board declared a final dividend of Rs 4.3 per share, taking total FY25 dividend to Rs 6.8 per share on a face value of Rs 2.
Underlying business performance is clearly strong with healthy revenue growth, expanding margins, and a meaningful dividend, which should support the stock. However, the Rs 55 crore one-time IP settlement with NIBL is a one-off drag that investors should treat separately; the real earnings power is better reflected in the 31% growth in profit before exceptional items.
