Jocil Ltd., a major diversified chemicals company, declared its March 2025 quarter results today. The firm announced a strong revenue from operations growth but experienced a sharp decline in net profit after tax (PAT) relative to earlier quarters. The latest results indicate the continued struggle to balance revenue expansion with profitability.

Revenue and Operational Performance

Revenue from operations during the March 2025 quarter was ₹178 crore (1.78 billion rupees), a drastic improvement compared to the same quarter last year.
Overall income from operations for the quarter by the company was ₹182.32 crore, higher compared to ₹172.37 crore during March 2023.

Profitability

Profit after tax (PAT) during the March 2025 quarter was ₹4.5 million (₹0.45 crore), noting a dramatic drop in comparison to past quarters.

The net margin for the quarter was under stress, with the company posting just ₹1.69 crore PAT in March 2024 and a loss of ₹3.16 crore in March 2023.

Expenses and Margins

Overall expenses were up in line with revenue, with significant cost heads being raw material usage and other costs.
Margins were tight, with EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Tax) and net profit margins both less than 1% for the quarter.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS in the March 2025 quarter was considerably lower compared to the earlier periods, indicating the subdued profitability.

Recent Trends and Context

Revenues of Jocil have increased positively in the last one year, but profitability has changed as a result of increasing costs and industry pressures.
The board of the company today approved today audited results and also deliberated on dividend declarations.

Outlook

Though Jocil Ltd. has been able to increase its revenue base, the company has a major challenge in enhancing profitability. Margin management and cost control will be essential as the company looks ahead in a competitive market scenario.
