Orient Paper reported audited results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025. Full-year revenue from operations rose to Rs 895.79 crore from Rs 831.94 crore, up about 7.7%, but the company swung to a net loss of Rs 54.66 crore versus a profit of Rs 6.23 crore last year. Loss before tax was Rs 88.90 crore against a profit of Rs 13.76 crore, and EPS was negative Rs 2.58. Q4 alone saw revenue of Rs 219.27 crore and a net loss of Rs 18.07 crore. Statutory auditors BSR & Co. LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. The board also appointed a new secretarial auditor (LABH & LABH Associates for 5 years), reappointed Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP as internal auditor, and appointed Mr. Somnath Mukherjee as cost auditor for FY26. Additionally, the board approved sale of up to 9.06 lakh equity shares (up to 12.02%) of BirlaNu Limited to four promoter-group entities as an inter-se transfer at arm's length.
The sharp swing to losses despite modest revenue growth and a negative operating cash flow (Rs 12.25 crore used vs Rs 101 crore generated last year) is a clear negative for shareholders and may pressure the stock. The BirlaNu share sale is an internal promoter-group reshuffle and should not change Orient Paper's overall promoter status, but it does mean a partial monetisation of an investment.
