Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
S H Kelkar and Company (Keva) announced audited consolidated FY25 results with total income rising to ₹2,147.25 cr from ₹1,846.69 cr (up ~16%) and revenue from operations at ₹2,123.40 cr versus ₹1,840.83 cr (up ~15%). However, profit from continuing operations fell sharply to ₹74.08 cr from ₹123.80 cr, and PAT dropped to ₹73.01 cr from ₹123.55 cr (down ~41%), with EPS at ₹5.37 vs ₹8.95. The decline was driven by an exceptional item of ₹605.55 cr tied to the April 2024 fire at the Vasivali plant, partially offset by a ₹95 cr interim insurance claim. The Board recommended a final dividend of Re. 1 per share (10%) subject to AGM approval. The 69th AGM is set for August 12, 2025 (record date August 1, 2025). Additional items include appointment of Ms. Pallavi Gokhale as Additional Director, re-appointment of Mr. Kedar Vaze as Whole-time Director & Group CEO for 3 years, new secretarial/internal/cost auditors, and approval to incorporate a wholly-owned subsidiary Keva Middle East FZE in the UAE by December 31, 2025 to expand in fragrances and flavours.
Despite solid revenue growth, shareholders should note that bottom-line performance was significantly hit by the one-time Vasivali plant fire loss, even after insurance relief. The 10% dividend and continued UAE expansion signal management confidence, but core profitability margins have compressed meaningfully in FY25.
