Ponni Sugars (Erode) Limited's Board approved audited results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, along with a final dividend of Rs. 3.00 per equity share (30% on face value of Rs. 10) for FY25, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM on June 11, 2025. Full-year revenue from operations fell about 14.7% to Rs. 35,946 lakhs (from Rs. 42,131 lakhs in FY24), while profit after tax dropped sharply by around 59% to Rs. 1,928 lakhs (from Rs. 4,686 lakhs), pulling EPS down to Rs. 22.42 from Rs. 54.49. The sugar segment was the main drag, while co-generation held steady. The auditors (M/s S. Viswanathan LLP) issued an unmodified opinion, and M/s V Suresh Associates were appointed as Secretarial Auditors for a 5-year term. A higher tax rate (34.944% vs 29.12%) also added Rs. 528 lakhs to deferred tax expense.
Despite a steep fall in profits and revenue, the company has maintained a 30% dividend payout, which provides some income support to shareholders. However, the sharp earnings decline and margin compression may weigh on the stock in the near term; investors should watch for signs of recovery in sugar realizations and production volumes next season.
