Prataap Snacks Limited announced audited financial results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 0.50 per equity share (10% on face value of Rs. 5), subject to shareholder approval. Revenue from operations grew modestly to Rs. 169,908 lakhs (vs Rs. 161,015 lakhs in FY24, ~5.5% growth). However, the company swung to a net loss of Rs. 3,427 lakhs for FY25, compared to a net profit of Rs. 5,312 lakhs in FY24. The loss was largely driven by an exceptional item of Rs. 2,541 lakhs related to a fire at its Jammu plant on December 30, 2024, causing an estimated loss of Rs. 3,434 lakhs (fully insured). EPS turned negative at Rs. (14.36) versus Rs. 22.26 last year. Mr. Sanjay Chourey was appointed as Company Secretary and Compliance Officer. Auditor BSR & Co. LLP issued an unmodified opinion.
Despite the headline dividend announcement, shareholders should note the company reported a full-year loss for the first time, primarily due to the fire incident. While the loss is largely covered by insurance, it signals operational risk. The very small dividend (Rs. 0.50 vs Rs. 2.00 paid for FY24) reflects weaker cash generation. The stock may face pressure given the loss-making results, though insurance recovery could support a rebound.
