The board approved audited consolidated and standalone financial results for Q4 and FY25. Total income for FY25 rose to Rs. 2,147.25 crore from Rs. 1,846.69 crore in FY24, but profit for the year fell sharply to Rs. 73.01 crore from Rs. 123.55 crore, mainly due to an exceptional loss of Rs. 160.18 crore from the April 2024 Vashivali plant fire (partially offset by Rs. 95 crore in approved insurance relief). A final dividend of Re. 1 per share (10%) has been recommended, subject to shareholder approval at the August 12, 2025 AGM. Ms. Pallavi Gokhale (DIN: 00036369) was appointed as Additional Non-Executive Non-Independent Director effective July 01, 2025, and Mr. Kedar Vaze was re-appointed as Whole-time Director & Group CEO for three years from September 01, 2025. The board also approved the incorporation of a wholly owned subsidiary, Keva Middle East FZE, in the UAE to expand fragrances and flavours presence, expected by December 31, 2025. Statutory auditors Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued an unmodified opinion on the consolidated results.
Shareholders benefit from a 10% final dividend, though FY25 profitability took a significant hit from the one-time fire-related loss. The new UAE subsidiary signals continued international expansion, while stable leadership (CEO re-appointment) and a clean audit opinion should support investor confidence.
