Walchand PeopleFirst Ltd announced audited FY25 results showing a sharp jump in profitability — full-year EPS rose to Rs. 52.21 from Rs. 11.76 last year, with total income at about Rs. 34.17 crore versus Rs. 29.60 crore a year ago. The Board has recommended a final dividend of Rs. 1 per share (10% on face value of Rs. 10), subject to shareholder approval at the 105th AGM on July 31, 2025 (record date July 18, 2025; payment from August 3, 2025). Statutory auditors M/s CNK & Associates LLP have been re-appointed for a second 5-year term, and M/s Nilesh Shah & Associates as Secretarial Auditor for 5 years (FY26–FY30). Mr. Joseph Andrew Jude Pereira has been re-appointed as Non-Executive Independent Director for a second 5-year term from October 26, 2025. Statutory auditors issued an unmodified opinion on the FY25 results.
The re-appointments of auditors and the independent director are routine governance actions and are shareholder-neutral. The dividend is modest (10%) but signals stable cash returns, while the strong EPS growth and clean audit opinion are positive signals — though the filings note that a meaningful portion of other income came from fair-value gains on financial assets, so investors should distinguish core earnings from mark-to-market gains.
