JK Paper Reports March 2025 Results: Debt Reduction Amid Significant Profit Decline

JK Paper, a midcap player in the Paper, Forest & Jute Products industry, has recently reported its financial results for the quarter ending March 2025. The results indicate a notable adjustment in evaluation, with the score shifting to -16 from -21 over the past three months.
The financial data reveals some positive aspects for JK Paper. The company has achieved a debt-equity ratio of 0.35 times, marking the lowest level in the last five half-year periods. This trend suggests a consistent reduction in borrowing relative to equity capital, which may reflect a strategic effort to strengthen its financial position.

Conversely, the financial results also highlight significant challenges. The profit before tax (PBT) has shown a substantial decline, recorded at Rs 80.08 crore, which represents a year-on-year decrease of 69.32%. Similarly, profit after tax (PAT) has fallen to Rs 76.20 crore, down 72.4% year-on-year. Additionally, interest expenses have surged to Rs 50.13 crore, indicating a rise in borrowing costs. The debtors turnover ratio has also reached its lowest point at 15.54 times, suggesting a slowdown in the company's ability to settle its receivables.
