The shares of the company were last seen at ₹896.25 apiece, rising 4.04% on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).

Here are all the Q4 earnings updates
  1. KEC International increased its revenues to ₹6,872 crore in the latest fourth quarter from ₹6,165 crore in the same period a year ago, posting a rise of 11.46%.
  1. The company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) also increased to ₹539 crore in the quarter under review from ₹388 crore in Q4 FY24.

  2. For the entire fiscal year, the net profit or PAT (profit after tax) at ₹571 crore was up by 64.55% against ₹347 crore in FY24, the company said in a filing. Revenue increased to ₹21,847 crore from ₹19,914 crore in the corresponding financial year.

  3. KEC's board recommended a dividend of ₹5.5 per equity share of face value of ₹2 each for FY25. The dividend will be paid within 30 days of its declaration by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

  4. Its net debt, including acceptances, was at ₹4,558 crore at the end of FY25. The company's order book as of March 2025 was ₹33,398 crore.

Vimal Kejriwal, MD & CEO, KEC International, said, “We delivered record-breaking performance across revenues, profitability and order intake. Our EBITDA margins have shown consistent improvement, with Q4 FY25 clocking a commendable increase of 150 basis points to reach 7.8%, up from 6.3% in the same quarter last year. Our sharp focus on cash flow management is reflected in the significant reduction in debt levels and interest costs during the year.”

The order book has been substantially strengthened with multiple strategic wins, taking the combined order book and L1 (lowest bidder) position beyond ₹40,000 crore. Backed by the robust order book and a healthy tender pipeline, the company is well positioned to drive sustained and profitable growth in the coming quarters, it said.
