VLS Finance's board, at its May 27, 2025 meeting, approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for FY25 along with a final dividend of Rs. 1.50 per equity share (15% on face value of Rs. 10), subject to shareholder approval at the AGM on September 20, 2025 (record date September 12, 2025). Statutory auditor Agiwal & Associates issued an unmodified opinion with no adverse comments. Standalone profit after tax fell sharply to Rs. 45.33 crore from Rs. 320.22 crore in FY24, and total income dropped to Rs. 103.62 crore from Rs. 410.09 crore, mainly dragged by a net loss on fair value changes. The company also announced key leadership changes, including Suresh Kumar Agarwal as the new Managing Director and Kishan Kumar Soni as CFO, and completed a Rs. 29.86 crore share buyback in September 2024.
The steep fall in earnings — driven by mark-to-market losses on the investment portfolio — is a clear negative for the stock, though the small dividend and strong positive operating cash flow (~Rs. 202 crore standalone) offer some cushion. Investors may react with caution given the deeply negative other comprehensive income of around Rs. 71 crore (standalone) and Rs. 513 crore (consolidated) for the year.
