Usha Martin announced its Q4 and FY25 results showing revenue growth but margin and profit pressure. Q4 FY25 revenue grew 8.1% year-on-year to Rs. 896.1 crore, while full-year FY25 revenue rose 7.7% to Rs. 3,474.2 crore driven by 9.5% volume growth. However, operating EBITDA fell 7.9% in Q4 to Rs. 139.6 crore and FY25 PAT declined 4.2% to Rs. 406.3 crore, with EBITDA margins contracting from 18.6% to 17.2%. The Wire & Strand segment surged 36.5% and LRPC grew 18%, though the core Wire Rope segment grew only 1.3%. Positively, the 'One Usha Martin' transformation improved working capital days from 209 to 199, unlocked Rs. 141 crore in cash, funded Rs. 245 crore of capex, and reduced net debt to Rs. 63 crore. Basic EPS stood at Rs. 13.37 for FY25.
Mixed bag for shareholders - solid topline growth and strong balance sheet improvements are positives, but declining margins and lower profits may weigh on sentiment. Investors will likely watch whether the management's margin improvement guidance for FY26 materializes, especially with the 'One Usha Martin' programme expected to gain further traction in H2 FY26.
