Vashu Bhagnani Industries (formerly Pooja Entertainment and Films) announced audited results for FY25 with unmodified auditor opinions on both standalone and consolidated financials. Standalone revenue from operations collapsed to Rs. 911.03 lakhs from Rs. 5,450.94 lakhs in FY24, an 83% drop, while consolidated revenue fell to Rs. 1,599.04 lakhs from Rs. 5,807.13 lakhs. Standalone profit after tax plunged to just Rs. 27.70 lakhs (FY24: Rs. 561.09 lakhs), and Q4FY25 standalone swung to a loss of Rs. 348.67 lakhs versus a Rs. 332.43 lakh profit a year ago. Consolidated PAT eased to Rs. 624.76 lakhs (FY24: Rs. 808.88 lakhs), with EPS of Rs. 1.13 versus Rs. 1.46. The company raised fresh equity (share capital rose from Rs. 3,500.35 to Rs. 5,543.85 lakhs) and significantly reduced borrowings, but consolidated operating cashflow turned sharply negative at Rs. -7,316.58 lakhs.
Sharp revenue decline and negative operating cashflow signal a tough year for the film production/distribution business, though the equity infusion and debt reduction strengthen the balance sheet. Shareholders should note the volatile earnings typical of the film industry and the heavy working capital swings reported this year.
