Eternal Ltd. Reports Mixed Q2 & H1 FY25 Results, Consolidated Profit Declines Amid Strong Revenue Growth; Incorporates New Subsidiary
Eternal Limited reported strong consolidated revenue growth but a significant decline in consolidated profit for Q2 & H1 FY25. It also announced a new wholly-owned subsidiary and a substantial GST dispute.
The announcement has a high impact due to the mixed financial performance, particularly the substantial drop in consolidated profitability, and the disclosure of a significant contingent liability related to GST demands, which could materially affect future financial stability.
Despite robust consolidated revenue growth, the significant year-on-year decline in consolidated profit is a major concern. Additionally, the pending GST demands of ₹441 crores represent a material contingent liability, contributing to a negative outlook.
Eternal Limited's Board of Directors met on October 16, 2025, to approve the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2025, and the incorporation of a wholly-owned subsidiary. * Consolidated Financial Highlights for Q2 & H1 FY25 (ended September 30, 2025): * Revenue from operations for the quarter rose to ₹13,590 crores, and for the half-year to ₹20,757 crores. * However, consolidated profit for the quarter significantly decreased to ₹65 crores from ₹176 crores in Q2 FY24, and for the half-year to ₹90 crores from ₹429 crores in H1 FY24. * Standalone Financial Highlights for Q2 & H1 FY25 (ended September 30, 2025): * Revenue from operations for the quarter increased to ₹2,650 crores, and for the half-year to ₹5,063 crores. * Standalone profit for the quarter grew to ₹691 crores from ₹421 crores in Q2 FY24, and for the half-year to ₹1,293 crores from ₹891 crores in H1 FY24. * The company announced the incorporation of a wholly-owned subsidiary named Eternal General Service Foundation in India, with a proposed paid-up capital of ₹10 lakh. This entity will engage in charitable and social welfare activities, including hunger relief, healthcare, education, and environmental sustainability. * The company has received Show Cause Notices and Demand Orders from GST authorities totaling approximately ₹441 crores (₹420 crores for Oct 2019-Mar 2022 and ₹21 crores for Apr 2022-Mar 2023) regarding GST on delivery charges. Eternal Limited has filed appeals and replies, believing it has a strong case on merits. * The board meeting commenced at 2:00 P.M. and concluded at 2:35 P.M. on October 16, 2025.
