S H Kelkar reported FY25 revenue from operations of Rs. 2,123.4 crore, up 15.4% year-on-year, driven by strong domestic demand across both Fragrance and Flavour divisions and 8.4% growth in its core European business. FY25 EBITDA grew 4.5% to Rs. 316.9 crore, but margins contracted to 15.0% from 16.5% due to elevated raw material costs and growth-related investments. Q4 FY25 performance was weaker, with revenue up 10.5% but EBITDA down 12.4% and margins falling to 13.9% from 17.5%. Cash profit for the year rose 7.5% to Rs. 224.1 crore, while adjusted PAT grew 2.4% to Rs. 125.4 crore. The company received an interim insurance payment of Rs. 95 crore related to a fire claim and is divesting a 40% stake in NuTaste.
Mixed results with strong revenue growth offset by margin pressure; management has guided that improving raw material availability and price hikes should support gradual margin recovery, which could be a positive trigger if delivered, though weak Q4 numbers may weigh on near-term sentiment.
