S Chand And Company Limited — Investor Meet, 28-05-2025: Analysts/Institutional Investor Meet/Con. Call Updates
S Chand has announced a board meeting to consider the financial results for the quarter and half-year.
FY25 consolidated revenue rose 9% YoY to Rs 719.7 Cr, driven by 5% volume growth and strong curriculum adoption despite piracy. Gross margin improved to 68%, EBITDA increased 23% to Rs 135 Cr with ~19% margin, and PAT was Rs 60.2 Cr. Net cash stood at Rs 103.6 Cr with healthy cash flow.
Management targets 11% revenue growth and 18%-20% EBITDA margin for FY26, emphasizing quality sales, working capital discipline, and selective inorganic expansions (~Rs 50 Cr) mainly in K-12. New NCERT syllabus books rollout and expanding AI content licensing (Rs 20 Cr in FY25) are key growth drivers. Piracy impact and digital adoption remain challenges. The tone is cautious yet focused on sustainable, cash-efficient growth.
