AI summary

The board approved audited FY25 results with an unmodified (clean) opinion from auditor M S K A & Associates. Operating revenue dipped to ₹30,948.82 lakhs from ₹32,035.59 lakhs in FY24, a decline of roughly 3.4%. Profit after tax came in at ₹6,218.78 lakhs versus ₹6,961.23 lakhs last year, a drop of about 10.7%, despite a one-time exceptional gain of ₹2,287.81 lakhs. EPS slipped to ₹5.10 from ₹5.70. On the balance sheet, total equity recovered sharply to ₹14,120 lakhs (from ₹7,916 lakhs) thanks to retained earnings, while new long-term borrowings of ₹5,000 lakhs and a surge in short-term borrowings (from ₹807 to ₹4,794 lakhs) lifted total debt. Operating cash flow turned negative at ₹762.57 lakhs (vs +₹1,290 lakhs), funded by fresh borrowings and ₹7,635 lakhs of capex. CFO S. Nandakumar resigned (effective May 11), replaced by Prem Babu from May 12.

Likely market impact

Flat-to-lower top line and a double-digit PAT decline, coupled with a sharp swing to negative operating cash flow and rising debt, signal operational pressure despite the bottom-line boost from an exceptional item. Shareholders should watch cash generation and debt levels; the CFO change adds near-term uncertainty.
