Q4FY25 Results

Q4FY25 standalone performance indicates a visible slowdown, with net profit dipping to ₹251 crore, down from ₹418 crore in Q3 and ₹329 crore in Q2. Revenue for the quarter came in at ₹1,965 crore, falling from ₹2,448 crore in Q3 and ₹2,144 crore in Q2, while operating profit declined sharply to ₹284 crore compared to ₹523 crore in Q3 and ₹403 crore in Q2. The operating profit margin (OPM) also fell to 14%, the lowest in six quarters. Despite other income improving to ₹119 crore, it could not offset the fall in core operating performance. On a yearly basis, FY25 standalone revenue stood at ₹9,071 crore, marginally lower than ₹9,136 crore in FY24, while net profit declined to ₹1,403 crore from ₹1,509 crore. The OPM narrowed to 19% from 20%, reflecting cost pressures. EPS for FY25 dropped to ₹7.92, down from ₹8.52 in FY24. Notably, the dividend payout surged to 101% in FY25, up from 65% in FY24, possibly signaling limited reinvestment needs amid flat earnings. In contrast, FY24 saw net profit rise from ₹1,373 crore in FY23 on the back of better sales and slightly higher margins, but FY25 closed with pressure on both top and bottom lines. Overall, Dabur’s standalone performance shows that while it remains profitable, margin pressure and a decline in quarterly earnings highlight the need for stronger cost control and demand revival in the coming quarters.
