V-Mart Retail's Board approved its audited results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, with statutory auditor S.R. Batliboi & Co. issuing an unmodified (clean) opinion. Full-year revenue rose about 16.8% to Rs. 3,253.86 crore (from Rs. 2,785.60 crore), and the company swung from a loss of Rs. 96.12 crore in FY24 to a profit of Rs. 42.96 crore in FY25, helped by an exceptional gain of Rs. 24.18 crore from reassessment of store lease terms. The Board decided not to recommend any dividend for FY25, choosing to retain earnings for growth. It also recommended a 3:1 bonus share issue (3 new shares for every 1 held) to be funded from the securities premium account, which stood at Rs. 492 crore, taking paid-up capital to about Rs. 79.20 crore. Additionally, authorized capital will be raised from Rs. 25 crore to Rs. 95 crore, KPMG was reappointed as Internal Auditor, and Agarwal S. & Associates was appointed as Secretarial Auditor for five years.
The clean audit and proposed 3:1 bonus issue are shareholder-friendly and could lift liquidity and retail interest in the stock, but the absence of a dividend and the fact that core Q4 profit (excluding the one-time lease gain) was marginal suggest underlying profitability remains under pressure — a mixed picture for investors.
