UPL Limited reported a strong turnaround in FY25 with consolidated revenue from operations rising to Rs. 46,637 crore from Rs. 43,098 crore in FY24, up about 8.2%. The company swung back to a profit after tax of Rs. 820 crore compared to a loss of Rs. 1,878 crore in the previous year. Operating cash flows jumped sharply to Rs. 10,151 crore from Rs. 2,321 crore, supported by lower finance costs and improved working capital. The board has recommended a final dividend of Rs. 6 per equity share (300% on face value of Rs. 2), subject to shareholder approval. Debt-equity ratio improved to 0.63x from 0.93x, and cash and cash equivalents rose to Rs. 9,478 crore. Statutory auditors B S R & Co. LLP issued an unmodified audit opinion on the results.
A clear return to profitability and a sharp improvement in cash flows are positive for shareholders. The Rs. 6 per share dividend signals management confidence in earnings recovery and balance sheet strength, though exceptional items of Rs. 408 crore and high finance costs of Rs. 3,627 crore remain points to watch.
