Rane Holdings Posts Strong Revenue Growth but Profits Decline in Q3 FY25

Rane Holdings Limited posted a consolidated revenue of ₹1,245.9 crore in Q3FY25, marking a robust 48.1% increase compared to the same period last year. The revenue growth was primarily driven by strong performance in the core operations segment, which grew by 48.2% to ₹1,240.6 crore.

However, profitability metrics showed a different picture. The company's Profit After Tax (PAT) for Q3FY25 stood at ₹4.2 crore, a significant decline from ₹48.0 crore in Q3FY24, representing a 91.2% decrease year-over-year. This decline can be partially attributed to higher material costs, which increased by 68% compared to the previous year.

Employee benefit expenses also saw an uptick of 33.7% year-over-year, while finance costs increased by 33.8%. The company's total expenses rose to ₹1,234.4 crore, a 54.8% increase compared to Q3FY24.

For the nine months ended FY25, Rane Holdings demonstrated more stable performance, with consolidated revenue reaching ₹3,003.3 crore, up 12.5% from the previous year. The cumulative PAT for 9MFY25 showed improvement at ₹209.1 crore, an 88.1% increase compared to 9MFY24.
