Sirca Paints India reported FY25 revenue from operations of Rs. 37,399.52 lakhs, up nearly 20% from Rs. 31,172.03 lakhs in FY24. However, profit after tax fell to Rs. 4,910.41 lakhs from Rs. 5,143.72 lakhs, a decline of about 4.5%, as rising costs and depreciation ate into margins. Q4 FY25 was stronger on the top line, with revenue rising over 22% YoY to Rs. 10,110.60 lakhs and PAT up about 13% to Rs. 1,415.59 lakhs. The Board has recommended a final dividend of Rs. 1.50 per share (15%) subject to shareholder approval, the same as last year. The company also completed the acquisition of the Wembley Group's business undertaking (excluding manufacturing) for Rs. 81.50 crores on March 20, 2025, adding goodwill and trademarks. Statutory auditors M/s Rajesh Kukreja & Associates issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the results.
Mixed signals for shareholders — strong revenue growth and a maintained dividend are positives, but the decline in profit and clearly compressed operating margins suggest rising cost pressure. The Wembley acquisition could boost future revenues but adds goodwill on the balance sheet, so near-term margin watch is warranted.
