The decline was primarily driven by lower revenue and weaker margins.

The subdued performance was primarily due to lower MDF volumes and a drop in realizations, impacting revenue and profitability. Segment-wise, MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) sales dropped 15.3% YoY to Rs 305.17 crore, while plywood sales declined 5.3% YoY to Rs 33.77 crore. MDF sales volumes fell 19.9% and plywood volumes declined 12% during the quarter.

Despite weaker volumes, the EBITDA margin improved to 15.9% in Q4 FY25 from 14% in Q4 FY24, supported by government grants under the EPCG scheme and lower provisions for turnover discounts.

Profit before tax (PBT) declined 26.22% YoY to Rs 29.71 crore, compared to Rs 40.27 crore in the same quarter last year.

As of 31 March 2025, net debt stood at Rs 165 crore, which includes Rs 336 crore earmarked for ongoing expansion projects. Working capital investment increased by 8 days YoY to 36 days.
