ACC Share Price Drops Over 4% After Q4 Profit Slips 20% Despite 13% Sales Surge; FY25 Revenue Up 5.6%

Cement maker ACC reported a 20.4% drop in net profit for the fourth quarter of FY25, with profit falling to ₹751.03 crore compared to the same period last year. Despite the dip in profits, the company saw a 12.7% rise in revenue, which reached ₹5,991.67 crore. 

Higher Sales and Premium Products Boost Revenue

ACC, owned by the Adani Group, said the growth in revenue was driven by increased trade sales volume and a higher share of premium products, which made up 41% of trade sales, 7% more than last year.

In Q4 FY25, cement and clinker sales volume grew by 13.33% to 11.9 million tonnes.

Expenses and EBITDA Margins

Total expenses for the quarter rose 13.11% year-on-year to ₹5,514.82 crore.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at ₹830 crore, down slightly by 0.84%. The EBITDA margin fell to 13.7%, compared to 15.5% last year.

Full-Year Performance

For the full financial year (FY25), ACC recorded:

• Revenue: ₹20,789.1 crore (up 5.63% YoY) 
• Profit: ₹2,402.12 crore (up 2.9% YoY) 

Sequential Performance

Compared to the previous quarter, revenue rose 15.10%, but profit dropped 31.21%. The quarter also saw a nationwide cement price hike of ₹12 per bag, which could have impacted margins.

Efficiency and Cost Improvements

The company reported lower kiln fuel costs due to the use of low-cost imported petcoke and better coal linkage. Logistics costs also fell by 8% to ₹937 per tonne, thanks to stable diesel prices and improved supply chain efficiency.

Strong Financials and Dividend Announcement

ACC ended the quarter with ₹3,593 crore in cash and cash equivalents, and reported its highest-ever net worth at ₹18,559 crore, an increase of ₹2,227 crore over the year.
It also announced a dividend of ₹7.50 per equity share for its shareholders.

Vinod Bahety, Whole Time Director & CEO of ACC, said the company is “stronger, more agile, and future-ready.” He highlighted capacity expansions, new grinding units, and modernisation efforts aligned with India’s growing infrastructure demands.
