Orient Paper & Industries reported audited results for FY25 with revenue from operations rising to Rs. 89,578.83 lacs (from Rs. 83,194.35 lacs last year), but swung to a net loss of Rs. 5,465.84 lacs versus a profit of Rs. 622.53 lacs in FY24. Loss before tax stood at Rs. 8,890.05 lacs, and EPS turned negative at Rs. (2.58) versus Rs. 0.29 earlier. The Paper & Tissue segment posted a loss of Rs. 5,515.73 lacs, while the Chemicals segment remained profitable at Rs. 1,792.91 lacs. The board approved the sale of up to 9,06,360 equity shares (up to 12.02%) of BirlaNu Limited (formerly HIL Limited) to four promoter-group entities via an inter-se transfer at arm's-length pricing under SEBI Takeover Regulations, expected to complete on or after 29th May 2025. New Secretarial Auditor (LABH & LABH Associates, 5-year term), Internal Auditor (Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP), and Cost Auditor (Mr. Somnath Mukherjee) were also appointed for FY25-26.
Shareholders should note the sharp swing from profit to loss in FY25, mainly driven by the Paper & Tissue segment, which may weigh on the stock sentiment. The BirlaNu share sale is an internal promoter-group reshuffle and is unlikely to materially affect Orient Paper's operations or cash position beyond the cash inflow from the divestment.
