Octavius Plantations reported full-year FY25 revenue from operations of Rs 2,826.83 lakhs, up about 16% from Rs 2,429.12 lakhs in FY24, driven mainly by trading of agricultural produce. However, net profit after tax fell sharply to Rs 87.01 lakhs from Rs 178.08 lakhs, a drop of roughly 51%, pulling EPS down to Rs 2.90 from Rs 5.94. Operating cash flow worsened to a negative Rs 497.40 lakhs (vs negative Rs 135.58 lakhs last year), reflecting large inventory build-up and working capital strain. The auditor (V. Singhi & Associates) issued an unmodified opinion but flagged an Emphasis of Matter noting that bearer plants were not accounted for in line with Ind AS 16 and that the Property, Plant & Equipment register was still under updation as of 31 March 2025.
Top-line growth is positive, but shrinking margins, a halving of profit, and worsening negative operating cash flow are worrying signs. The emphasis-of-matter comments on accounting treatment of bearer plants and pending PPE register update add governance and disclosure concerns that investors should track.
