Q4 FY25 headline numbers: profit and sales fall

Greenpanel reported a 1.41% year-on-year decline in net profit to Rs 29.39 crore in Q4 FY25. Over the same period, net sales fell 5.56% to Rs 374.51 crore. The provided note attributed the decline primarily to lower revenue and weaker margins, even as certain supports helped the operating margin line.

Margin improvement driven by EPCG grant and lower discount provisions

Despite weaker volumes, EBITDA margin improved to 15.9% in Q4 FY25 from 14% in Q4 FY24. The improvement was linked to government grants under the EPCG scheme and lower provisions for turnover discounts. Separately, an IDBI Capital note (as carried in the provided text) said Q4 FY25 performance exceeded expectations, led by a government grant under the EPCG Scheme.

Profit before tax: sharper YoY decline

Profit before tax (PBT) declined 26.22% year-on-year to Rs 29.71 crore in Q4 FY25, compared with Rs 40.27 crore in the same quarter last year. This gap between operating support (grant and lower discount provisions) and lower PBT highlights the pressure from weaker business conditions and the broader cost and income mix for the quarter, as reflected in the reported numbers.

Full-year FY25: revenue grows, profits contract

On a full-year basis, the company’s net profit declined 46.68% to Rs 72.11 crore in FY25. Over the same period, revenue rose 8.38% to Rs 1,435.77 crore in FY25 compared with FY24. A separate data line in the provided text also lists net income (FY) at Rs 72.109 crore, which is consistent with the FY25 profit figure.

Conflicting quarter profit signals in the provided dataset

Alongside the reported Q4 FY25 PAT of Rs 29.39 crore, the supplied data also states: “GREENPANEL net income for the last quarter is −346.24 M INR,” which converts to about Rs -34.62 crore. The same block shows the previous quarter net income of 293.86 M INR (about Rs 29.39 crore). These two quarter-level signals do not reconcile within the provided text, so they are best read as figures from different data feeds or reporting views, without drawing further conclusions beyond what is stated.

Longer financial history: revenue and profitability trendlines

A standalone profit and loss table in the provided text shows revenue (sales) at Rs 1,567 crore for Mar 2024 and Rs 1,436 crore for Mar 2025, with TTM sales at Rs 1,399 crore. It also shows operating profit margin (OPM) declining to 9% in Mar 2024 and 6% in Mar 2025 (TTM: 6%). Profit after tax in the same table is Rs 135 crore (Mar 2024) and Rs 72 crore (Mar 2025), and the line-item “Profit before tax” is Rs 183 crore (Mar 2024) and Rs 70 crore (Mar 2025), with TTM profit before tax at Rs 1 crore.

What analysts flagged: grant impact on margins

The IDBI Capital note in the supplied text put Q4 FY25 revenue at about Rs 370 crore (described as Rs 3.7 billion), down 6% year-on-year, and referenced weak performance across segments. It also stated consolidated EBITDA margin contracted by 20 bps year-on-year to 12.8%, aided by an EPCG grant of Rs 35 crore (Rs 350 million). The note added that adjusted for the grant, EBITDA margin was 3.5%, underlining how material the grant impact was to the quarter’s reported operating profitability in that view.

Conclusion

Greenpanel’s Q4 FY25 print combined weaker sales and a small YoY decline in profit with an EBITDA margin improvement linked to EPCG support and lower discount provisions. Over FY25, revenue increased to Rs 1,435.77 crore while net profit declined to Rs 72.11 crore. Investors will likely track how volume trends and segment performance evolve in subsequent quarters, alongside any further disclosures on grants, discounts, and profitability drivers.
