WPIL Ltd reported consolidated revenue from operations of Rs 1,80,688.71 lakhs for FY25, up about 8.6% from Rs 1,66,440.38 lakhs in FY24. The Pumps and Accessories segment grew to Rs 94,361.99 lakhs while the Project (Works Contract) segment rose to Rs 86,326.72 lakhs. Net profit attributable to equity holders stood at Rs 13,202.26 lakhs in FY25 vs Rs 47,501.79 lakhs in FY24, where FY24 included a one-time gain of Rs 49,773.01 lakhs from disposal of the Rutschi business. Q4FY25 actually showed a consolidated loss of Rs 2,371.79 lakhs due to a one-time tax charge of Rs 7,051.52 lakhs related to the Italian subsidiary's earlier divestment. Standalone performance was steadier, with revenue of Rs 1,14,771.88 lakhs (up ~6.6%) and net profit of Rs 14,384.34 lakhs (up ~1.3%). The Board recommended a dividend of Rs 2 per share (on Rs 1 face value after share split). Operating cash flow remained negative at Rs -14,956.26 lakhs, and current borrowings more than doubled to Rs 40,163.82 lakhs.
Short-term view: the Q4 loss and continued negative operating cash flow raise red flags, though the headline loss is driven largely by a one-off tax item. Shareholders get a modest dividend of Rs 2 per share; the share split (Rs 10 to Re 1, effective July 2024) has improved liquidity. Stock may see pressure until clarity emerges on working capital, debt, and integration of new acquisitions (Eigenbau SA, Misa Italy, Paterson Candy International).
