Polychem Ltd has published its audited results for Q4 and FY25 in newspapers as required by SEBI listing rules. On a standalone basis, full-year total income fell to Rs. 2,693.19 lakhs from Rs. 3,818.68 lakhs a year ago, while net profit after tax dropped to Rs. 336.76 lakhs from Rs. 603.70 lakhs. Consolidated FY25 numbers were also weaker, with total income at Rs. 4,390.30 lakhs (vs Rs. 5,582.87 lakhs) and net profit after tax at Rs. 384.19 lakhs (vs Rs. 819.64 lakhs). Standalone EPS for the year came in at Rs. 83.35, down from Rs. 149.41 in FY24, and consolidated EPS was Rs. 70.06 vs Rs. 178.27. Q4 standalone revenue of Rs. 687.38 lakhs and PAT of Rs. 58.20 lakhs were notably lower both year-on-year and sequentially. The Board has recommended a dividend of Rs. 20 per share (200%), reduced from Rs. 30 per share (300%) last year.
The sharp decline in both revenue and profit on a full-year basis, combined with a lower dividend, is a negative signal for shareholders. However, other equity has actually grown (standalone Rs. 3,356.78 lakhs vs Rs. 3,148.09 lakhs), so the company retains a healthy net worth despite weaker operating performance.
