Crompton Greaves Q4 FY25 Profit Rises 23% to Rs 169.5 Crore

Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd., a well-known name in the consumer electrical products market, has announced a significant increase in its net profit for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. The company showed strong performance across its main business areas, marking a positive growth trend.

Net Profit Jumps by 23% in Q4 FY25

For the fourth quarter of the financial year 2025, Crompton Greaves’ consolidated net profit rose by about 23% compared to the same quarter last year. The net profit reached ₹169.5 crore, up from ₹138.4 crore in Q4 FY24. This rise indicates the company’s improved earnings and healthy business growth.

Revenue Also Sees Moderate Growth

The company’s revenue from operations grew by 5.1% year-on-year, reaching ₹2,060.6 crore from ₹1,961 crore in the previous year’s quarter. This steady increase in revenue was paired with a notable rise in profitability, showing the company’s ability to manage costs effectively while growing sales.

Profit Margins Improve Sharply

One of the key highlights is the jump in EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation), which increased by nearly 30% to ₹264.4 crore, compared to ₹203.6 crore in the same quarter last year. The EBITDA margin, which measures how efficiently the company operates, improved from 10.4% to 12.8%. This means Crompton Greaves is not just selling more, but also making more profit on each rupee of sales.

Growth Driven by Solar Pumps and Electrical Appliances

The main drivers of this growth were strong demand for solar pumps and electrical appliances, especially mixer grinders and air coolers. The Electrical Consumer Durables (ECD) segment grew by 6% in Q4 FY25, mainly because of increased sales in pumps and appliances. For the whole financial year, this segment posted an impressive 11% growth, showing consistent demand.

Crompton Greaves also mentioned that higher sales of solar pumps were due to the execution of specific solar pump orders. Additionally, the company saw growth in non-ceiling fans within its fan category. The business is also benefiting from a ‘platform-first approach’, introducing new technologies like the in-house BLDC and induction motor platforms named Nucleus and X-Tech, which help improve product quality and efficiency.

Lighting Segment Shows Profit Margin Expansion

In the lighting segment, the company earned ₹276 crore in revenue during Q4. Although this segment faced challenges such as lower prices and increased marketing costs, it still managed to improve its profit margin significantly. The EBIT margin in lighting grew by 7 percentage points (700 basis points) to 15.9% compared to the previous year. This margin growth was mainly due to a better product mix in consumer lighting (B2C), which helped offset the price pressures.

The company also launched new business-to-business (B2B) lighting products for different uses like street lighting, floodlights, industrial lighting, and indoor commercial lighting, which helped increase sales.

Butterfly Gandhimathi Appliances Boosts Overall Performance

Crompton Greaves’ subsidiary, Butterfly Gandhimathi Appliances Ltd., also performed well. It posted a 12% rise in revenue in Q4, bouncing back after a decline in the first three quarters of the financial year. The subsidiary experienced growth across its product range, especially in mixer grinders and pressure cookers, and gained market share in these categories.

Butterfly’s EBITDA margin improved dramatically from a loss of 11.9% in Q4 FY24 to a positive 8.6% in Q4 FY25, marking a strong recovery.

Dividend Recommended for Shareholders

The company’s board of directors has proposed a dividend of ₹3 per equity share of ₹2 each for the financial year ended March 31, 2025. This dividend will be paid after August 8, 2025, if shareholders approve it at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Share Price Performance

Despite these strong financial results, Crompton Greaves’ stock price closed lower on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), falling by 1.21% to ₹327.34 per share. Over the last year, the stock has seen a decline of 3.16%, and it has dropped by 17.28% so far this year.
