Premier Explosives reported FY25 standalone revenue from operations of Rs. 41,745 lakhs, up 53.6% from Rs. 27,172 lakhs in FY24. Profit after tax rose modestly to Rs. 2,855 lakhs (from Rs. 2,812 lakhs), while profit before tax fell 6.7% to Rs. 3,754 lakhs, indicating sharp margin compression despite the strong topline. EPS stood at Rs. 5.31. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 0.50 per share (25% on face value of Rs. 2), subject to shareholder approval. Operating cash flow surged to Rs. 11,862 lakhs, boosting cash balances to Rs. 9,309 lakhs and reducing borrowings. Auditors M/s. Majeti & Co. issued an unmodified opinion on both standalone and consolidated results. The Board also noted stock exchange fines of ~Rs. 1.06 lakh each from BSE and NSE for delayed compliance under Regulation 17(1A) and disclosed a major fire accident at its Katepally (Telangana) propellant plant on April 29, 2025 as a non-adjusting post-reporting event.
Strong revenue growth and robust cash generation are positives for shareholders, but shrinking profit margins and the post-period fire accident at a key plant could weigh on sentiment. The Rs. 0.50 dividend is modest, and the regulatory fine and plant shutdown uncertainty may create short-term overhang on the stock.
