Raymond Limited's board approved its audited consolidated financial results for FY25 and Q4 FY25 on May 12, 2025. Statutory auditors Walker Chandiok & Co LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on both standalone and consolidated results. The report included two emphasis-of-matter notes relating to the demerger of the Lifestyle Business into Raymond Lifestyle Limited (effective June 30, 2024) and the demerger of the Real Estate Business into Raymond Realty Limited (effective May 1, 2025). The numbers are dominated by a one-time exceptional gain of ₹7,33,784 lakhs on the lifestyle demerger booked under discontinued operations, which pushed total consolidated profit for the year to ₹7,63,562 lakhs (vs ₹1,64,307 lakhs in FY24). Continuing operations (now comprising Tools & Hardware, Auto Components, Precision, and Others) posted revenue of ₹1,94,664 lakhs and a modest profit of ₹5,202 lakhs. EPS from continuing operations was ₹7.18 versus ₹7.35 in the prior year.
Shareholders should note that the headline profit surge is almost entirely driven by a non-cash, one-time demerger gain and is not reflective of underlying business performance, which remained broadly flat in continuing operations. With both Lifestyle and Real Estate businesses now demerged into separately listed entities, Raymond Limited has effectively transformed into a focused engineering and precision company, which could change how investors value the stock going forward.
