Prataap Snacks Ltd Q4 FY25 Results

Commenting on the Q4 & FY25 performance, Mr. Amit Kumat - MD, Prataap Snacks Limited said. “In FY25, we witnessed sustained inflationary pressures and weak consumption trends which have impacted demand for consumer products. The impact is more visible in the value segment. Given this backdrop, we are pleased to report positive revenue growth of 6% YoY for FY25 and 3% YoY in Q4FY25. Topline growth in Q4 would have been slightly higher, but for some lost sales due to the fire in our Jammu facility. We have enhanced capacities at other facilities located in North India towards end of fhe quarter. Our sharpened focus on core markets, data-driven sales strategies, and expanded distribution have been key enablers of the topline growth. In addition to witnessing encouraging trends in market share, we are pleased that our leadership in extruded snacks remains intact. During the year, we witnessed a sharp rise in input costs, especially palm oil and potatoes with other inputs also witnessing inflationary pressures. Our ongoing cost optimization initiatives delivered meaningful impact, easing some part of the margin pressures. As input prices eased slightly fowards the end of the fiscal, we reported improved profitability in Q4 over Q3. Despite a challenging year, we have delivered a positive cash profit and improved working capital further. As a result, we continue to maintain a robust financial position with healthy levels of free cash. The Board has recommended a dividend of 10% of face value for the year, reinforcing our commitment towards creating value for shareholders. Over the year, we executed several strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening the foundation for sustained future growth. Our market segmentation framework will enable sharper, market-specific execution and more efficient resource allocation along with distribution augmentation. Comprehensive cost optimization efforts, including detailed benchmarking of manufacturing processes and operational efficiencies, are set to enhance competitiveness further by providing additional levers to structurally elevate margins. Looking ahead to FY26, our focus will be to drive sustainable profitable growth through sharper cost control, distribution expansion, and technology-led governance. With the strong foundation built in FY25 and a clear strategic roadmap ahead, we are confident in our ability to deliver enhanced value to all stakeholders in the coming years.”
