WPIL Limited reported FY25 consolidated revenue from operations of Rs. 1,80,688.71 lakhs, up about 8.6% from Rs. 1,66,440.38 lakhs in FY24. Standalone revenue grew nearly 6.6% to Rs. 1,14,771.88 lakhs. Consolidated profit before tax was Rs. 26,661.82 lakhs versus Rs. 27,084.79 lakhs, while net profit (continuing and discontinued) fell sharply to Rs. 12,660.39 lakhs from Rs. 68,376.58 lakhs, mainly because FY24 had a one-time gain of around Rs. 49,773 lakhs from the sale of the Rutschi pump business. From continuing operations alone, consolidated net profit dropped to Rs. 12,620.09 lakhs from Rs. 19,301.54 lakhs. Q4 FY25 consolidated results swung to a loss of Rs. 2,371.79 lakhs, hurt by a Rs. 7,051.52 lakh tax provision related to the earlier Rutschi divestment. On the standalone side, net profit was Rs. 14,384.34 lakhs (EPS Rs. 14.73) versus Rs. 14,202.94 lakhs (EPS Rs. 14.54). The Board recommended a Rs. 2 per share dividend on the Re. 1 face value shares, and the statutory auditor issued an unmodified (clean) opinion.
The strong top-line growth and Rs. 2 per share dividend are positives for shareholders, but declining continuing-operations profit, a Q4 loss, and a deeply negative operating cash flow of around Rs. 14,956 lakhs point to pressure on margins and working capital that could weigh on the stock in the near term.
