The board of S H Kelkar and Company Limited met on May 16, 2025 and approved audited consolidated and standalone results for Q4 and FY25, which received an unmodified opinion from Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP. The board recommended a final dividend of Re. 1 per equity share (10% on face value of Rs. 10) for FY25, subject to shareholder approval at the 69th AGM on August 12, 2025, with the record date set for August 1, 2025. FY25 consolidated total income rose to Rs. 2,147.25 crores from Rs. 1,846.69 crores, but profit from continuing operations fell to Rs. 74.08 crores from Rs. 123.80 crores, hurt by a Rs. 160.18 crore loss from the April 2024 Vashivali plant fire, partly offset by Rs. 95 crore of approved insurance relief. The board also approved incorporating a wholly owned subsidiary called Keva Middle East FZE in the UAE to expand its fragrances and flavours presence, and made new director and auditor appointments.
The dividend is modest and the sharp drop in FY25 profits is a concern, though most of the damage is a one-time fire-related hit largely covered by insurance. The new UAE subsidiary signals a push to grow internationally, which is a positive for long-term growth.
