For the full fiscal year, total income stood at ₹54,819 lacs, reflecting a 6.4% YoY growth. This performance was primarily driven by good growth in Pentonic segment, further driven by strong momentum in our E-commerce and Modern Trade channels.
Our EBITDA for the year stood at ₹6,910 lacs, with an EBITDA Margin of 12.6%, reflecting an improvement of 24 basis points over the previous year. This increase was primarily driven by increase in share of Pentonic from 34.3% in FY 24 to 35.6% in FY 25.
Our Profit after Tax for the year stood at ₹ 3,804 lacs and the PAT margin stood at 6.9%.
To accelerate our growth and capitalize on our strong brand presence in the writing instruments segment, we are expanding our portfolio beyond pens to include allied categories such as markers, highlighters, and pencils.
Additionally, we are exploring opportunities in the broader stationery market, which will increase our Total Addressable Market (TAM) from ₹ 6,640 crore to ₹38,500 crore. We believe our strong brand equity, extensive distribution network, and innovative strengths position us well to gain market share over the long term.
In recognition of our steady performance and commitment to shareholder returns, the Board of Directors is pleased to recommend a dividend of ₹ 1.50 per share, resulting in a healthy dividend payout of 23.5%, subject to shareholders’ approval.
Looking ahead, our commitment to innovation, strategic market expansion, and operational efficiency will continue to drive growth. With a clear growth strategy and a focus on execution, we remain optimistic about the future and committed to delivering long-term value for our stakeholders.”
