Please find attached intimation of dividend for Financial year March 31, 2025.
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Aarti Industries' board has recommended a dividend of Re 1 per equity share (20%) on the Rs 5 face value for FY ended March 31, 2025, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. For FY25, standalone net revenue grew ~15% YoY to Rs 7,304 Cr while net profit fell ~18% to Rs 340 Cr (EPS Rs 9.37 vs Rs 11.51 a year ago). Consolidated PAT declined to Rs 331 Cr from Rs 416 Cr. Operating margin contracted to 12.4% from 13.9%, and net profit margin slipped to 4.2% from 6.0% YoY. The company retained its AA/Stable long-term credit rating from CRISIL, and auditors issued an unqualified opinion on both standalone and consolidated results. Net worth stood at Rs 5,618 Cr (standalone) with net debt-equity ratio of 0.6x.
Topline growth was solid but profitability weakened meaningfully, with PAT falling despite higher revenue, signaling margin pressure. The dividend per share has been maintained, offering continuity to shareholders even though earnings have declined — which means the payout ratio is effectively higher this year.
