The board of Octavius Plantations approved audited standalone financial results for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2025. Full-year revenue from operations grew to Rs 2,826.83 lakh from Rs 2,429.12 lakh, up about 16%. However, profit before tax fell sharply to Rs 95.26 lakh from Rs 195.56 lakh, and net profit dropped to Rs 87.01 lakh from Rs 178.08 lakh, roughly a 51% decline, with EPS falling to Rs 2.90 from Rs 5.94. Operating cash flow turned deeply negative at Rs (497.40) lakh compared with Rs (135.58) lakh last year, driven by a sharp build-up in inventories and other current assets. Borrowings rose sharply, with current borrowings jumping to Rs 710.13 lakh from Rs 192.57 lakh, while total assets grew to Rs 2,996.38 lakh. The auditor (V. Singhi & Associates) issued an unqualified opinion but included an Emphasis of Matter noting that bearer plants were not accounted for as per Ind AS 16 and the fixed asset register was still being updated.
Despite higher annual revenue, sharply lower profits and a steeply negative operating cash flow suggest margin pressure and working capital stress, which may weigh on the stock. The auditor's emphasis on bearer plant accounting and an incomplete fixed asset register adds a governance flag for investors.
