South India Paper Mills Ltd reported FY25 revenue of ₹36,931 lakhs, up about 18% from ₹31,231 lakhs in FY24. Despite top-line growth, the company posted a net loss of ₹964 lakhs, though this is narrower than the ₹1,343 lakhs loss in the previous year. Loss before tax improved to ₹1,278 lakhs from ₹1,787 lakhs, helped by an exceptional item of ₹87.89 lakhs (insurance claim from a fire incident in FY24). Operating cash flow turned sharply positive at ₹4,029 lakhs versus a negative ₹1,840 lakhs last year, supported by working capital improvements and insurance receipts. The company also reduced its long-term borrowings from ₹10,735 lakhs to ₹8,252 lakhs. The auditor issued an unmodified (clean) opinion with no qualifications. EPS for the year stood at ₹(5.14) versus ₹(8.31) in FY24.
Narrowing losses, strong improvement in operating cash flow, and debt reduction are positives, but the company remains in the red at the bottom line, which may weigh on near-term investor sentiment. Watch for sustained profitability in upcoming quarters.
