Q4 Results: Revenue and Profit Decline 4%; Margins Narrow

Ltd. announced its Q4 FY25 results on Friday, May 9, reporting a 4% year-on-year decline in net profit to ₹204 crore, down from ₹213 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue for the quarter stood at ₹1,769 crore, marking a modest 4% increase compared to the previous year. Despite higher revenue, the company's operating performance remained under pressure. EBITDA came in at ₹333.1 crore, down 0.7% year-on-year, while EBITDA margin contracted nearly 100 basis points to 18.83%, from 19.77% a year ago. The stock has surged over 9% post-results and is up 23% over the last three trading sessions, buoyed by optimism surrounding India’s newly signed Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United Kingdom. Under the FTA, Indian textile and apparel exports to the UK, which previously faced duties of up to 12%, will now enjoy zero tariffs giving Indian manufacturers a competitive edge over countries like Bangladesh, which lack a similar agreement. Further clarity is awaited from management on how they intend to capitalize on the FTA’s potential benefits.
