Lubricant company's shares tumble over 8% as Q4 profit plunges 76% YoY; check key details

The company said its net profit plunged nearly 76% to ₹34 lakh in the March quarter due to heightened price fluctuations, softer export demand, and tariff-related pressures.

The net profit of the company, also engaged in the power transmission & distribution EPC (engineering procurement and construction) business, was ₹1.41 crore in the March quarter of FY24, as per a statement.

Operating income grew to ₹26.86 crore in Q4 FY2025 from ₹18.82 crore seen a year ago.

During Q3 and Q4, the company said that the performance was marginally impacted due to heightened price fluctuations, softer export demand, and tariff-related pressures. These external challenges created temporary headwinds across certain segments, it stated, adding that the management remains focused on driving operational efficiencies, optimising cost structures, and mitigating market volatility.

"We continue to take proactive measures to strengthen our competitive positioning and deliver sustainable, long-term value to our stakeholders," Continental Petroleums added.

During FY25, the PAT (profit after tax) rose 57.88% to ₹4.31 crore in 2024-25 from ₹2.73 crore seen in the previous year. Operating income surged to ₹112.91 crore from ₹53.03 crore, mainly due to strong growth driven by high-margin lubricants, EPC, and waste management businesses.

"The growth in top-line revenue reflects our successful execution of key projects and enhanced market reach, while the improvement in profitability underscores our focus on operational efficiency and value-added offerings," CMD Madan Lal Khandelwal said.
