Kothari, Managing Director said, “HFL achieved a major milestone this financial year with a Profit After Tax (PAT) exceeding Rs 100 crore. This milestone brings a sense of pride and celebration within the organization but also demonstrates our ability to identify and capitalize on growth opportunities, even amidst a broader slowdown in consumer demand. We remain focused on building on this momentum and are now setting our sights on the next phase of growth in the coming years. The driving force behind this achievement has been our dedicated team of nearly 7,000 employees. As a gesture of gratitude and to foster long-term value creation, we completed a preferential allotment of shares in our footwear subsidiary to our employees and also rolled out an ESOP scheme at HFL. Through these initiatives, we aim not only to reward and retain top talent but also to attract the leadership needed for our next leap forward. Our association with The Kabadiwala promises to be a significant commitment towards sustainability and the circular economy. We are confident that in the coming years, this association will prove to be of major value to us and also to our customers in meeting their obligations under the EPR regulations.” Commenting on the Operational Performance, Ganesh Argekar, Executive Director said, “From an operational standpoint, we delivered our highest-ever volumes across our beverages, ice creams, and footwear segments. This was achieved despite ongoing deflationary pressures and persistent volume softness in other categories. Our supply chain teams worked tirelessly to ensure efficiency and output even under challenging conditions. Specifically, the shoe business had a good quarter, and we are cautiously optimistic that we should be out of the woods now. While the division had the highest ever turnover in this FY, importantly, the new investments have started yielding results and we are confident that with the support of our customers, we should be able to turn around the business completely in FY26. Our bet on the beverage segment is finally paying off with Mysuru recording its highest ever output. We are eager to expand in this segment and continue to look for new opportunities. We have some interesting developments in the OTC Pharma division and are eager to scale this up. Our Home and Personal Care categories continue to perform resiliently in the face of the headwinds of slowing consumption” Commenting on the Financial Performance, Mayank Samdani, Group CFO said, “This quarter was a record-breaking one across all key metrics—revenues, EBITDA, and Profit Before Tax (PBT). These results were driven by seasonal highs in our ice cream and beverage businesses, as well as the longanticipated breakeven of our footwear segment. The footwear business finally achieved operational profitability in this quarter and with this, all our businesses are performing as per expectations. As far as the annual profits are concerned, despite higher tax provisioning compared to the previous year, we posted the highest ever annual profits. This was aided by the ramping up of the Baddi factory and the new investments in the beverage and ice cream plants. Our PAT for FY25 includes the losses suffered by the shoe business (~Rs. 11 crores) which were a result of the integration issues that we faced with the acquisition and also the accounting impact of the ESOP scheme. The year also saw an increase in the working capital requirements of the company, especially in the shoe business but despite this increase, the company was able to generate a satisfactory cash from operations of around Rs 113.00 crore. This strong operating cash flows along with the proceeds from the Warrants issue, positions us to leverage upcoming growth opportunities. We continue to work towards our goal of doubling our gross block to Rs 1,800 crore by the end of this financial year.” Result PDF
