​UltraTech Cement Q4 profit jumps 10% YoY to Rs 2,482 crore; dividend of Rs 77.5 declared

UltraTech Cement, India’s largest cement manufacturer, delivered a steady financial performance for the fourth quarter of FY25. The company reported a 10 per cent year-on-year (YoY) rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 2,482 crore, compared to Rs 2,258 crore during the same quarter last year.

The board also approved a dividend of Rs 77.50 per equity share of face value Rs 10 each, boosting investor sentiment.

Q4 revenue grows 13 per cent

The company’s revenue from operations for the January-March quarter stood at Rs 23,063.32 crore, marking a 13 per cent increase from Rs 20,418.94 crore reported in the year-ago period. On a sequential basis, revenue was up a sharp 30 per cent over the previous quarter.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) also saw a healthy uptick of 12.3 per cent, coming in at Rs 4,618.4 crore, against Rs 4,114 crore last year. However, EBITDA margins slightly narrowed to 20 per cent from 20.2 per cent YoY, indicating rising input costs.

Full-year FY25 performance

For the entire FY25, UltraTech Cement reported a 7 per cent rise in revenue to Rs 75,955.13 crore, up from Rs 70,908.14 crore a year earlier. However, net profit for the year fell 14 per cent to Rs 6,039.11 crore, compared to Rs 7,005 crore in FY24.

The decline in annual profit is attributed to higher costs and intense competition in the cement sector, even as topline growth remained resilient.

Ahead of the results, UltraTech Cement shares closed at Rs 12,132 on the BSE, down 1 per cent. During the session, the stock touched an intraday high of Rs 12,339.00 and a low of Rs 12,001.00.
