Britannia Q4 FY25 Results: FMCG Behemoth Registers 4.2% Profit Rise, Declares Rs. 75 Final Dividend

Britannia Industries has announced its fourth quarter results for FY25 with strong performance amid ongoing cost pressures. The FMCG major reported a 4.2% year-on-year growth in net profit for the March 2025 quarter, alongside an 8.9% surge in revenue. Backed by massive demand across its core product categories, the company also declared a generous final dividend for its shareholders. Britannia announced its Q4 earnings post market hours, so its shares will be in focus tomorrow.

Britannia Q4 Results

Britannia Industries reported a 4.2% year-on-year (YoY) rise in its consolidated net profit at Rs. 559 crore for the fourth quarter of FY25, compared to Rs. 536.6 crore in the same quarter last year. The company's revenue grew 8.9% YoY to Rs. 4,432 crore from Rs. 4,069.4 crore, driven by steady demand across key product categories. Its EBITDA rose by 2.3% YoY to Rs Rs.805.3 crore from Rs 787.5 crore, although the EBITDA margin slipped to 18.2% from 19.4% a year ago, due to some pressure on operating efficiency.

Huge Dividend Announced

Along with the Q4 results, the board of Britannia also recommended a final dividend of Rs. 75 per share to reward its shareholders.
"Recommended final dividend of Rs. 75/- per equity share of face value of ₹1/- each for the financial year ended 31st March, 2025, to be declared at the ensuing 106th Annual General Meeting ('AGM') of the company. Final dividend, if declared, will be paid within the timelines prescribed under the law. Fixed the date of the 106th AGM to be held on Monday, 11th August, 2025," the company said in an exchange filing.

Is It a Good Time to Invest in Britannia Shares: Target Price and Outlook

Broking firms remain cautiously optimistic about Britannia's stock outlook. UBS has maintained a 'Buy' rating with a target price of Rs 6,350. After a significant correction in the stock since October 2024, analysts believe Britannia shares are now trading at more reasonable levels, close to the stock's five-year average valuation.

While earnings may stay weak for the next couple of quarters due to margin pressure from rising input costs, the company is expected to gradually recover. Analysts at UBS believe Britannia may continue to raise product prices to handle these cost pressures and expect a rebound in earnings starting from Q2 FY26. This makes the current weak cycle an opportunity for long-term investors.
