Revenue and Operating Income Trends
The company’s net sales have shown a mixed pattern over the past seven years. After a peak in fiscal year ending March 2019, with net sales exceeding ₹43 crores, revenues declined in subsequent years before rebounding sharply to ₹72.64 crores in March 2025. This recent surge represents a substantial increase compared to the previous fiscal year’s ₹42.40 crores, signalling a strong recovery in top-line performance. Notably, Asit C Mehta Fin does not report other operating income, so total operating income aligns directly with net sales figures.
Cost Structure and Profitability
Examining the cost components, employee expenses have steadily risen from ₹7.83 crores in March 2021 to ₹19.66 crores in March 2025, reflecting possible expansion or increased operational scale. Other expenses have also escalated, reaching ₹48.84 crores in the latest fiscal year. Despite these rising costs, the company managed to improve its operating profit before depreciation, interest, and tax (PBDIT) to ₹9.36 crores in March 2025, a significant turnaround from losses recorded in the two preceding years.
However, interest expenses remain a considerable burden, consistently around ₹10 crores annually, which has contributed to negative gross profit before depreciation and tax in recent years. Consequently, the company reported a loss before tax of ₹2.74 crores in March 2025, continuing a trend of negative profitability since March 2023. The net loss after tax stood at ₹2.76 crores, though this is an improvement compared to the deeper losses in prior years.

Summary of Historical Performance
Overall, Asit C Mehta Fin’s historical performance has been characterised by significant fluctuations in revenue and profitability. The company experienced strong revenue growth in the latest fiscal year, reversing a multi-year decline. Despite this, persistent high interest costs and rising expenses have constrained net profitability, resulting in losses in recent years. The balance sheet shows resilience with no debt and improving shareholder funds after a period of negative equity. Liquidity remains supported by healthy cash reserves and positive financing cash flows.
Investors should note the volatility in earnings per share, which swung from positive figures in earlier years to negative values recently, reflecting the company’s challenging profitability environment. The operating profit margin has also varied widely, underscoring the need for cautious analysis of future earnings potential.
