Three M Paper Boards reported full-year FY25 revenue from operations of Rs. 26,553.41 lakhs, down about 2.5% from Rs. 27,223.48 lakhs in FY24. Profit after tax fell to Rs. 999.31 lakhs from Rs. 1,126.19 lakhs, a decline of around 11%, largely due to higher finance costs in H1 and slightly lower revenue. Basic EPS dropped to Rs. 5.19 from Rs. 8.36, with the EPS decline amplified because the share base expanded following a July 2024 IPO of 57.72 lakh shares at Rs. 69 each, raising Rs. 3,982.68 lakhs. The IPO proceeds were fully utilised for new machinery capex, working capital, and repayment of borrowings, which is reflected in capital work-in-progress rising sharply to Rs. 1,485.43 lakhs. Long-term borrowings came down to Rs. 2,377 lakhs from Rs. 3,397 lakhs, and net worth strengthened to Rs. 10,384 lakhs. The statutory auditor Piyush Kothari & Associates issued an unmodified opinion.
For shareholders, the year was a mixed one: top line and bottom line both contracted modestly, but the balance sheet became materially stronger post-IPO with lower long-term debt and sizeable capex underway, which could support growth in coming years. Near-term sentiment may be cautious given the earnings dip, though the IPO funds have been deployed as planned.
