Higher operational costs weigh on quarterly earnings; company posts all-time high revenue of Rs 4,134.6 crore in FY25
Heritage Foods has reported a 5.75 per cent decline in its consolidated net profit to Rs 38.16 crore for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2024–25, as rising expenses impacted margins. The net profit stood at Rs 40.49 crore in the same quarter of the previous year, the dairy major said in a regulatory filing.
Despite the profit drop, total income rose to Rs 1,048.4 crore during the January–March quarter of FY25, up from Rs 950.5 crore in the corresponding period a year earlier. However, total expenses increased to Rs 990.5 crore, compared to Rs 898.62 crore previously.
For the full financial year, Heritage Foods reported a robust jump in net profit to Rs 188.28 crore, up from Rs 106.54 crore in FY24, driven by strong topline growth and strategic focus on core segments.
Commenting on the performance, Executive Director Brahmani Nara said, “We have delivered our highest-ever quarterly and annual revenue, crossing Rs 4,134.6 crore in FY25.” She attributed the growth to the strength of the company’s core product portfolio and its market strategy, noting that revenue growth—excluding the bulk B2B segment—consistently remained above 10 per cent every quarter.
“We continued to strengthen our omni-channel presence, with deeper penetration across traditional trade and the fast-growing Q-commerce space,” Nara added. “It’s especially rewarding to see our brand retain the No.1 position in both ‘Top-of-Mind Awareness’ and ‘Loyalists’ for curd and paneer in our core markets, as per our latest Brand Health Tracker.”
Heritage Foods, which operates primarily in the dairy segment, has been actively expanding its consumer reach while focusing on value-added products to maintain momentum amidst industry challenges.
