Saptarishi Agro Industries reported audited FY25 results with total income from operations rising sharply to Rs. 7,943.15 lakhs from Rs. 4,129.16 lakhs in FY24, a jump of about 92%, driven mainly by the new Manufacturing & Trading (Gujarat) segment which grew from Rs. 354.74 lakhs to Rs. 6,570.56 lakhs. Profit after tax stood at Rs. 214.02 lakhs versus Rs. 203.84 lakhs last year, a modest ~5% rise, while profit before tax actually fell to Rs. 214.02 lakhs from Rs. 248.64 lakhs as finance costs quadrupled to Rs. 78.72 lakhs. Operating cash flow turned positive at Rs. 115.55 lakhs compared to an outflow of Rs. 455.38 lakhs in FY24, and EPS was Rs. 0.63 vs Rs. 0.60. The balance sheet however shows other equity still deeply negative at Rs. (2,410.44) lakhs and total borrowings rising to about Rs. 1,390 lakhs against equity of Rs. 993.56 lakhs, signalling a leveraged position. The statutory auditor M/s Mayur Shah & Associates issued an unmodified (clean) opinion.
Revenue nearly doubled on strong ramp-up of the Gujarat manufacturing business, but profit growth lagged badly because of higher finance and operating costs, so margins compressed. Shareholders should note the negative reserves and rising debt, even as the business is now generating positive operating cash.
