Antony Waste Faces Headwinds: Q1 FY2025 Sees Significant Dip in Profitability

Antony Waste Handling Cell Ltd. has unveiled its standalone financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, ending June 2025, painting a picture of largely flat top-line growth but a significant contraction in profitability. The waste management solutions provider reported its numbers, which are likely to draw investor attention given the sharp declines across key profit metrics.

During the April-June 2025 quarter, Antony Waste's standalone net sales came in at Rs 8.75 crore.

This represents a marginal decrease of 0.8% when compared to the Rs 8.82 crore recorded in the same quarter last year. While the top-line saw only a minor dip, it indicates a period of subdued revenue generation for the company.

The more pronounced story, however, lies in the company's profitability.

Antony Waste reported a standalone net profit of just Rs 0.05 crore for Q1 FY2025. This figure marks a substantial year-on-year decline of 94.62% from the Rs 0.93 crore profit achieved in Q1 FY2024. This sharp drop highlights significant operational or cost challenges faced by the company during the quarter.

Further underscoring the profitability squeeze, the company's Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) also plummeted.

EBITDA stood at Rs 0.07 crore for the quarter, a staggering 97.46% fall from Rs 2.76 crore in the corresponding period last year. Consequently, the Earnings Per Share (EPS) for Antony Waste shareholders saw a dramatic reduction, settling at Rs 0.02, down 94.74% from Rs 0.38 in Q1 FY2024. These figures collectively suggest that the company grappled with pressures that severely impacted its operating efficiency and bottom line during the first quarter of the fiscal year.
