Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Craftsman Automation reported consolidated revenue of ₹5,69,048 lakhs in FY25, up ~28% from ₹4,45,173 lakhs in FY24, driven by the Aluminium Products segment which grew ~41% YoY. Standalone revenue rose ~20% to ₹3,84,795 lakhs. However, profitability was sharply weaker — standalone PAT fell ~53% to ₹9,369 lakhs (FY24: ₹19,759 lakhs) and consolidated PAT declined to ~₹20,087 lakhs (FY24: ₹33,733 lakhs) on a consolidated basis. Margins compressed as cost of sales, finance costs and other expenses grew faster than revenue, with consolidated EBITDA margin shrinking from ~19.7% to ~12.4%. An exceptional item of ₹2,547 lakhs (SLSPL facility relocation costs) further dragged consolidated PBT. The Board recommended a 100% final dividend (₹5 per share on ₹5 face value), approved a CSR Trust, and noted major acquisitions including SLSPL and two German entities, funded partly by a ₹1,20,000 lakh QIP. Statutory auditor Sharp & Tannan issued an unmodified opinion.
Strong top-line growth from the Aluminium Products business and continued expansion is offset by a steep earnings decline and margin compression, which may weigh on near-term sentiment. The healthy dividend and completed acquisitions signal long-term confidence, but shareholders should watch for integration costs and any further exceptional charges before earnings stabilise.
