Marico Dividend 2025: Parachute maker declares final dividend of Rs 7 per share for FY25

Marico Dividend 2025: FMCG major Marico has announced a final equity dividend of Rs 7.00 per share for the financial year 2024–25, as part of its Q4 earnings report. This recommendation is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming 37th Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The record date to determine eligible shareholders has been set as Friday, August 1, 2025, and the dividend, if approved, will be paid on or before Sunday, September 7, 2025.

Earlier, the company had declared an interim dividend of Rs 3.50 per share on January 31, 2025. With the proposed final dividend, the total dividend payout for FY25 stands at Rs 10.50 per equity share of Re 1 each.

Marico’s Q4 results also include key earnings and profit highlights, reflecting its financial performance in a competitive FMCG market.

Marico reported an 8 per cent year-on-year (YoY) rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 343 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, aided by resilient rural demand. The company had posted a profit of Rs 318 crore in the same period last year.

Consolidated revenue for the January–March quarter surged 20 per cent YoY to Rs 2,730 crore, while India Q4 volume growth stood at 7 per cent, aligning with broader trends seen across the consumer goods sector.

Marico also declared a final dividend of Rs 7 per equity share for FY25. This follows an interim dividend of Rs 3.50 announced earlier, taking the total dividend for the year to Rs 10.50 per share, subject to shareholder approval.

On a standalone basis, net profit jumped 42 per cent YoY to Rs 325 crore, while revenue from operations rose 14 per cent to Rs 1,870 crore, compared to Rs 1,637 crore in Q4 FY24.

The company’s consolidated EBITDA rose 4 per cent to Rs 458 crore, though the EBITDA margin slipped to 16.8 per cent, down 260 basis points from the previous year. The gross margin declined by approximately 300 basis points, impacted by higher prices of copra and vegetable oils. Marico noted that this was partially offset by pricing actions across key portfolios.

During the quarter, consumer sentiment remained stable, with improving rural demand and mixed trends across urban mass and premium segments.

Looking ahead, Marico said, “We expect gradually improving growth trends in core categories, supported by moderating retail and food inflation and the potential of a healthy monsoon. Our efforts to bolster General Trade partnerships and expand direct reach through Project SETU will further strengthen performance.”
