SRF Ltd. reported revenue of ₹3,819 cr for April to June 2025, +10.2% on the year and −11.5% on the quarter. Over the last four quarters revenue comes to ₹15,047 cr, +13.4% on the four before.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹830 cr, a margin of 21.7%, +433 bps on the year and −46 bps on the quarter. Over the last 8 quarters the margin has ranged from 15.7% to 22.2%, averaging 19.1%. Operating costs grew +4.5% against revenue growth of +10.2%, so more of each rupee of sales reached operating profit.
Net profit was ₹432 cr, +71.4% on the year and −17.9% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹14.58. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew 71.5%, so the profit growth came from the business itself. The tax rate of 25% is in line with its recent average. Profit over the last four quarters totals ₹1,430 cr, +16.4% on the four before.
Speciality chemicals are read on volumes and pricing, with Chinese supply a recurring swing factor; inventory destocking can hit a quarter without a change in demand. The quarterly statements do not carry volumes against prices, capacity utilisation and new molecules; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹48.26 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹2,470.80 trades at 51.2 times trailing earnings.
Written from the quarterly statements. The filing read adds the balance sheet and cash flow, the auditor's review, segment results, one-off items line by line and what management said on the call.
No check fired. That is a statement about the checks below, not a verdict on the company.
Could not run on this quarter: Exceptional items that recur, Cash behind the profit, Receivables against sales, Inventory against sales, Borrowing while holding cash, Auditor's review or audit report, IPO money used as stated, Related-party transactions, Exits, postponements, restatements, Promoter pledges and allotments, Earlier promises against delivery, When the results were filed.

Net profit a year ago, each driver's change, and net profit now. Blue added profit, red took it away.
