Financial Year 2024-25 has been a landmark year forGenus, defined by exceptional growth, robust executionand notable margin expansion. The performance hasbeen driven by the rapid scale-up of smart meteringprojects under the RDSS initiative, the strength of ourintegrated operations, and the continued confidenceshown in us by utilities nationwide. These achievementsreaffirm our position as a trusted and leading partner inIndia's evolving energy infrastructure landscape.
During the financial year 2024-25, the Companydelivered exceptional performance across alloperational and financial metrics. Revenue for the yearreached an all-time high of H 2,44,201 lakhs, marking arobust 103% growth over the previous year's revenueof H 1,20,058 lakhs. This strong topline performancewas driven by scaled execution of AMISP projects, theoperationalisation of new capacities, and increasedproduction output.
Other income rose to H 7,973 lakhs from H 4,605 lakhs inthe previous year, comprising interest income from bankdeposits, advances, and investments, gains on foreigncurrency transactions, and other miscellaneous income.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, andamortisation (EBITDA), excluding other income, surgedby 247% to H 46,990 lakhs from H 13,534 lakhs in theprevious financial year. Margins expanded significantlyby 797 basis points to 19.24%, up from 11.27%. Theseresults underscore the strength of our end-to-endmodel—from in-house manufacturing to softwareintegration—and validate the foresight behind our earlyinvestments in capacity, technology, and backwardintegration. They also highlight the strong operatingleverage embedded in our business model.
During the financial year 2024-25, the Company'sfinance cost rose significantly to H 11,623 lakhs, up fromH 5,769 lakhs in the previous year. This increase wasprimarily driven by higher borrowings necessitatedby rising business volumes and the need to provideadditional bank guarantees to secure a surge inorders. Total borrowings increased to H 1,36,460 lakhsfrom H 58,712 lakhs in the previous year, largely due toelevated working capital requirements stemming from
the substantial growth in business activity, order intakeand expansion in production capacity.
Employee costs and other operational expenses alsosaw a corresponding rise, in line with the Company'sstrategic focus on scaling organisational capabilitiesto support the expanding order book. Key initiativesincluded expanding technical and engineering teams,investing in talent with emerging skill sets, and rampingup production capacity to ensure timely and high-qualityexecution of smart metering projects. These investmentsare critical to maintaining our competitive advantagein a rapidly evolving market driven by digitalisation,utility reforms, and the nationwide thrust toward smartinfrastructure under various government initiatives.
Profit Before Tax (PBT) stood at H 39,880 lakhs,representing a strong growth of 289% over the previousyear's PBT of H 10,245 lakhs. Profit After Tax (PAT)also recorded a substantial increase of 297%, rising toH 29,818 lakhs from H 7,517 lakhs in the preceding financialyear. The significant improvement in profitability wasdriven by a sharp increase in sales volume, supportedby effective cost controls and operational efficiencies,which together enhanced margin realisation acrosskey projects.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) rose sharply to H 9.81 fromH 2.81 in the previous year, signaling strong valuecreation for shareholders. The Company's net worthalso increased to H 1,82,684 lakhs, up from H 1,54,577lakhs, underscoring continued financial strength andvalue creation.
The liquidity of the Company is supported by2,75,43,850 equity shares of the Company held intreasury and 4,75,43,850 equity shares of Genus Paper& Boards Limited. These shares arose from the schemeof arrangement between the Company and GenusPaper Products Limited, as approved by the Hon'bleAllahabad High Court in FY 2013-14. As of March 31,2025, the market value of these shares was H 81,206lakhs, while the book value (cost of acquisition) wasH 5,995 lakhs.
During the year under review, as none of the subsidiariesundertook revenue-generating operations, no directrevenue, operating costs, or cost of goods sold fromsubsidiaries were recognised in the consolidatedfinancial statements. Accordingly, the consolidatedperformance primarily reflects the share of profitfrom associates, in line with the equity method ofaccounting. The Company's share of net profit fromassociate entities was H 1,131 lakhs, compared to a loss ofH 1,386 lakhs in the previous financial year, indicating apositive growth trend in overall financial performance.The Company continues to derive economic value fromits strategic investments while maintaining a focus onlong-term shareholder value.
Management remains cautiously optimistic about thefuture performance of the subsidiary and associateentities, which continue to operate under improvingeconomic conditions. The Company will continue toexplore value-accretive investment opportunities andmaintain a lean operating structure.
