On the reaction day the stock moved 1.6 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 1.0 pts less than its Restaurants peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Westlife Foodworld, the McDonald's franchisee for West and South India, reported FY25 consolidated revenue from operations of ₹2,49,119 lakhs, up about 4.2% from ₹2,39,181 lakhs in FY24. However, profit after tax plunged roughly 82% to ₹1,215 lakhs (from ₹6,921 lakhs), and EPS fell to ₹0.78 from ₹4.44. Total expenses grew around 8.1% to ₹2,50,262 lakhs, with finance costs up nearly 16% and depreciation up 12%, indicating sharp margin compression. Borrowings rose to ₹30,810 lakhs from ₹23,903 lakhs, while operating cash flow remained healthy at ₹34,490 lakhs. Statutory auditor SRBC & Co LLP issued an unmodified opinion on both consolidated and standalone results, and the Board also declared no audit qualifications.
Strong revenue growth was more than offset by rising costs, especially finance charges and depreciation, leading to a sharp drop in profitability — likely to weigh negatively on investor sentiment despite stable operations and clean audit opinion.
