Q4 FY25 performance: revenue up, profit down

For Q4 FY25, Deepak Nitrite’s revenue from operations stood at ₹2,179.69 crore, rising 2.52% YoY from ₹2,126.21 crore in Q4 FY24. Net profit (PAT) for the quarter was ₹202.41 crore, down about 20% YoY compared with roughly ₹253-254 crore in Q4 FY24 (figures cited across reports include ₹253.8 crore and ₹253.4 crore). Profitability was described as being impacted by margin pressures and higher costs, even as revenue improved modestly. An exceptional gain of ₹79.8 crore was recorded in Q4 FY25.

Why profitability weakened, as cited by the company

The company attributed the dip in profit to a combination of external and cost factors. It cited geopolitical challenges, higher input costs, and excess supply from China as key reasons behind weaker profitability. Reports also pointed to higher employee expenses affecting operating performance. The broader specialty chemicals and phenolics space was described as facing margin pressure due to elevated input costs and moderate end-user demand. While volume was supportive in parts of the business, pricing remained under pressure in a price-sensitive environment.

Segment picture: Phenolics led the quarter

The phenolics segment remained the largest contributor in Q4 FY25. Reported segment numbers show phenolics revenue at ₹1,532 crore with segment profit of ₹239 crore, and it was described as accounting for about 70% of quarterly revenue. The advanced intermediates segment reported revenue of ₹654 crore and segment profit of ₹45 crore for the quarter. While performance was described as steady, year-on-year profitability for advanced intermediates was stated to have declined sharply from ₹134 crore in Q4 FY24. These segment trends aligned with the wider commentary of stable volumes but weaker pricing and cost headwinds.

Profit before tax, EBITDA, and margins: what was reported

Profit before tax (PBT) in Q4 FY25 was reported at about ₹279 crore (also cited as ₹278.71 crore), with commentary that it was driven primarily by the phenolics division. EBITDA for the quarter was cited at ₹339 crore in one report, while another report pegged EBITDA at ₹316.5 crore (versus ₹301 crore in the corresponding quarter). The EBITDA margin was cited as steady around 15% in one market update, and separately noted as 14.52% (up from 14.16% previously) in another report. Taken together, the sources agree that operating profitability improved sequentially but remained constrained year-on-year.

Stock market reaction around the results

Despite the year-on-year drop in quarterly profit, the stock saw a sharp reaction after the Q4 FY25 numbers. One update stated Deepak Nitrite jumped 4.30% to ₹2,086.25, after reporting a strong sequential improvement in profit alongside higher revenue from operations. Another data point noted that ahead of the earnings announcement, shares closed 1.9% lower on the NSE on the day. These moves underline that the market was reacting not only to year-on-year comparisons, but also to quarter-on-quarter recovery and reported operational progress.

Full-year FY25 numbers: revenue broadly steady, PAT lower

For FY25, full-year revenue from operations was reported at ₹8,281.93 crore, up 7.8% year-on-year. Another figure cited for FY25 total income/revenue was ₹8,366 crore, reflecting 8% growth over FY24 (₹7,758 crore as cited in the earnings call transcript). Full-year PAT was reported at about ₹697-698 crore, versus ₹811 crore in FY24, indicating a year-on-year decline in profits. The quarterly EPS for Q4 FY25 was cited as ₹14.58 per share (non-annualized).

Recent quarterly trend data up to Dec 2025

For the quarter ended Dec 2025, total income was ₹1,983.47 crore and PAT was ₹99.79 crore, with an EBIT of ₹149.01 crore. The dataset also shows an EBIT margin of 7.51% and net profit margin of 5.03% for that quarter, alongside basic EPS of ₹7.32. The same dataset lists sequential quarters (Sep 2025, Jun 2025, Mar 2025, Dec 2024), indicating that Mar 2025 (Q4 FY25) had materially higher EBIT and PAT than the Dec 2025 quarter.
