While specific segment growth percentages are not provided, the company noted increased operation levels as evidenced by a 104.91% YoY increase in the net capital turnover ratio.

Geographic Revenue Split

Not disclosed in available documents, though the company emphasizes a strong focus on international export markets alongside domestic sales.

Profitability Margins

Profitability saw a significant decline in FY 2024-25. Operating Profit Margin (OPM) dropped from 11.50% to 4.51% (a -70.06% variance) and Net Profit Margin (NPM) decreased from 10.24% to 4.80% (a -53.12% variance). This was primarily driven by a sharp rise in raw material (egg) costs and lower gross profit margins.

EBITDA Margin

Operating Profit Margin was 4.51% in FY 2024-25, down from 11.50% in the previous year. The core profitability was impacted by a significant increase in production costs and increased borrowings, leading to a -69.97% YoY decline in the Interest Coverage Ratio to 4.31.

Capital Expenditure

The company reported significant capital investments during FY 2024-25 for a new unit focused on enhancing production capacity and diversifying product offerings. While the exact INR Cr value is not specified, these investments contributed to a reduction in Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) from 26.37% to 12.37%.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

Crisil Ratings migrated the company to 'CRISIL BB+/Stable/CRISIL A4+ Issuer Not Cooperating' on September 11, 2025, for bank facilities totaling INR 29.9 Crore. The migration occurred because the company failed to provide requisite information or No Default Statements (NDS).
