Seshasayee Paper and Boards reported a sharp fall in profitability for FY25 despite stable revenues. Standalone revenue from operations dipped to ₹1,754.11 cr from ₹1,801.56 cr (down ~2.6%), while net profit after tax nearly halved to ₹104.56 cr from ₹259.37 cr (down ~59.7%). Q4 was also weak, with standalone PAT at ₹25.63 cr vs ₹53.16 cr a year ago. EBITDA margins compressed sharply from about 21% to under 10%, driven by higher raw material costs (up ~11%) and rising finance costs (₹8.43 cr vs ₹2.14 cr). Operating cash flow turned negative at ₹(61.30) cr versus ₹202.20 cr inflow last year. The Board recommended a dividend of ₹2.50 per share (on face value ₹2) and fixed the 65th AGM for June 14, 2025. Auditor Suri & Co issued an unmodified (clean) opinion.
Shareholders get a steady dividend payout, but the steep profit decline, margin compression, and swing to negative operating cash flow are likely to weigh on the stock. Investors should watch working capital trends and the Servalakshmi Paper acquisition revival plan closely.
