The company cited pressure on pricing and input cost volatility as the primary factors that impacted its operating margins and led to the decline in revenue and operating profit.

Full-Year Financial Performance
Despite the challenges in the fourth quarter, RCF reported a 7.62% increase in net profit for the entire 2024-25 fiscal year, which rose to Rs 242.45 crore, compared to Rs 225.28 crore in the previous fiscal year.

However, total income remained flat at Rs 16,933.64 crore, slightly declining from Rs 16,981.31 crore in the previous year.

The company’s Board of Directors also declared a final dividend of Rs 1.32 per share for the 2024-25 fiscal year (13.2% on a face value of Rs 10 per share). The dividend is subject to approval by shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) and is expected to be paid within 30 days of declaration.

Stock Market Performance
RCF’s shares closed at Rs 156.45 on Tuesday, just ahead of the earnings announcement. The company is among the largest producers of fertilisers and industrial chemicals in India, with multiple manufacturing units across the country.

Outlook and Challenges
