Warren Tea Limited reported its audited FY25 results on 20th May 2025. The company has zero revenue from operations as it has exited the tea plantation business and its plans to start merchant tea exports to Gulf/West Asia/CIS are on hold due to the Ukraine-Russia war. Income comes entirely from interest on deposits and investments, with total income rising to ₹446 lakhs (standalone) from ₹331 lakhs last year. The standalone business swung to a profit of ₹64 lakhs from a loss of ₹85 lakhs, helped by lower expenses. On a consolidated basis (including share of associate Maple Hotels and Resorts), profit jumped sharply to ₹176 lakhs from ₹29 lakhs, with EPS of ₹1.47. However, operating cash flow turned sharply negative at -₹948 lakhs versus +₹53 lakhs a year ago. The auditor (GARV & Associates) issued an unqualified opinion with no modified statements.
Shareholders should note the company is essentially a shell earning investment income rather than operating a business, and management is also pursuing voluntary delisting from the Calcutta Stock Exchange (the BSE listing remains). The negative operating cash flow despite book profit signals continued cash erosion, though the associate-driven profit jump is positive for consolidated numbers.
