Commenting on the performance for Q4 FY25, Mr. Mithun Chittilappilly, Managing Director – V- Guard Industries Limited said, “During the fourth quarter, we have delivered a robust business performance, with solid growth in both revenues and profitability. Consolidated revenues for Q4 FY25 stood at ₹1,538 crore, reflecting a 14.5% year-on-year increase and representing the highest-ever quarterly revenue in our history. Consolidated Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter was ₹91 crore, up 19.6% year-on-year.
For the full year FY24-25, consolidated net revenues reached ₹5,578 crore, registering a 14.8% increase over the previous year. Consolidated PAT for the year was ₹314 crore, higher by 21.8% year- on-year. In light of this strong performance, the Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of 150%, equating to ₹1.50 per equity share.
The Electronics segment led the growth in Q4, delivering a topline increase of 26.3% year-on-year, followed by the Electricals and Consumer Durables segments, which grew by 14.6% and 11.9%, respectively. Sunflame business is facing challenges in growth and we are taking appropriate steps to address the same. From a geographical perspective, the Non-South region posted a topline growth of approximately 18.6% YoY, while the South markets grew by 15.3% YoY.
Supported by strong cash flows, we have pre-closed the entire term loan related to Sunflame acquisition and are back to being a debt-free company. Our Board has approved an investment of ₹50 crore this quarter to expand the capacity of the Battery plant in Hyderabad, under V-Guard Consumer Products Limited (VCPL).
We have witnessed strong prefilling in channels anticipating sustained demand for cooling products through the summer. Having ended the financial year on a positive note, we look forward to the upcoming financial year with optimism backed by a robust pipeline of exciting product launches.”
