Revenue from operations in the same period rose 19% YoY to Rs 5,670 crore.

On a consolidated basis, the profit after tax fell 9% to Rs 956 crore from Rs 1,051 crore posted in the year-ago period. Consolidated revenues jumped 12% YoY to Rs 9872 crore.

The Board has recommended a dividend of Rs 2 per share for the financial year 2024-25.

The fourth quarter EBITDA came in at Rs 1,868 crore, up 10% YoY, with margins holding steady at 18.9%. On a per-tonne basis, EBITDA was Rs 1,001, even after excluding a one-time government grant from the third quarter.

Operationally, the company achieved its highest-ever quarterly sales volume at 18.7 million tonnes, up 13% YoY, supported by capacity expansion, stronger market penetration, and operational ramp-up of acquired assets like Penna and Sanghi. The full-year volume rose 10% YoY to 65.2 million tonnes.

The kiln fuel cost dropped sharply by 14% in Q4, from Rs 1.84 to Rs 1.58 per 1,000 kcal, driven by a healthy fuel mix strategy. Logistics costs also declined by 2% to Rs 1,238 per tonne.

Ambuja Cements has reported its best-ever financial performance for FY25, riding on strong operational efficiencies and higher volumes. Consolidated annual PAT came in at Rs 5,158 crore, a 9% jump over the previous fiscal, along with record annual revenues of Rs 35,045 crore.

During the year, 299 mw of renewable power capacity was commissioned, taking Ambuja’s green power mix to 26.1%. This is part of a broader Rs 6,000 crore investment to scale up green capacity to 1 gw by FY28.

Ambuja said it has crossed the 100 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) mark, becoming the ninth-largest cement company globally. This was aided by the acquisition of Orient Cement and brownfield expansions, including a 2.4 MTPA grinding unit at Farakka and de-bottlenecking across plants.

On Tuesday, Ambuja shares are trading 1.25% lower at Rs 534.25 on NSE.
