Indian Hume Pipe reports Rs 558 crore FY25 profit, announces special dividend on land sale
The Indian Hume Pipe Company Ltd (IHP) on Wednesday reported a net profit of ₹558.05 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2025, sharply higher than ₹77.63 crore in the previous year. The profit includes a one-time exceptional gain of ₹545.22 crore from the sale of freehold land in Yelahanka, Bengaluru to Godrej SSPDL Green Acres LLP for ₹559 crore.
As part of the proceeds utilisation, the company has recommended a special dividend of ₹4 per share, in addition to a regular dividend of ₹1.80 per share, taking the total proposed dividend to ₹5.80 per share (290%), subject to shareholder approval. Q4 earnings impacted by lower operating income
For the fourth quarter (Q4FY25), IHP reported total income of ₹395.23 crore, slightly lower than ₹407.29 crore in the same quarter last year. EBITDA for the quarter stood at ₹59.10 crore, down from ₹77.07 crore a year ago. Net profit surged to ₹499.26 crore from ₹43.67 crore in Q4FY24, primarily due to the land transaction gain.
Excluding the exceptional item, profit before tax for the quarter was ₹38.62 crore, compared to ₹58.06 crore in the corresponding period. Order book strength and manufacturing expansion
The company received new orders worth ₹1,325.37 crore during FY25, with nearly 48% of the order value attributable to in-house manufacturing components like PCCP and BWSC pipes, leading to expectations of improved margins and reduced working capital needs.
To meet growing demand, IHP expanded capacities at its Walwa and Dhule plants in Maharashtra, commissioning both by March 2025 at a combined capex of ₹46 crore, funded entirely through internal accruals. The enhanced annual capacity of 1,29,060 MT is expected to yield sales potential of ₹240 crore.
As of May 8, 2025, the company's order backlog stood at ₹4,002.48 crore, up from ₹3,698.17 crore a year ago. IHP is also the L1 bidder in four projects worth ₹769.43 crore. Completion of large infrastructure projects
IHP successfully completed 12 water infrastructure projects during the year across Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh, with a combined contract value of ₹2,437.74 crore. Real estate ventures progress in Pune
The company shared updates on two real estate joint ventures: Dosti Greenscapes (Hadapsar, Pune): 9 towers launched out of 13, covering over 8.4 lakh sq ft of usable carpet area; 1,025 units launched across four phases.
Kalpataru Blossoms (Vadgaon, Pune): Three towers under development with 2.8 lakh sq ft of RERA carpet area and over 4.3 lakh sq ft of usable carpet area.
As of May 8, 2025, 538 units had been booked in Dosti Greenscapes (₹416.85 crore value), and 92 units booked in Kalpataru Blossoms' Plot A (₹172.03 crore value), with IHP's share amounting to ₹158.40 crore and ₹55.91 crore, respectively. Capital allocation and future outlook
From the Bengaluru land deal proceeds, ₹376 crore has been kept as fixed deposits with SBI for future capex and as collateral security, while ₹92 crore has been parked in money market mutual funds, partially earmarked for working capital reduction and the proposed special dividend payout of ₹21.07 crore.

IntegraFin Holdings (LON:IHP) Has Announced A Dividend Of £0.033
The board of IntegraFin Holdings plc (LON:IHP) has announced that it will pay a dividend on the 4th of July, with investors receiving £0.033 per share. Based on this payment, the dividend yield for the company will be 3.3%, which is fairly typical for the industry. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. We aren't too impressed by dividend yields unless they can be sustained over time. Before this announcement, IntegraFin Holdings was paying out 71% of earnings, but a comparatively small 9.8% of free cash flows. In general, cash flows are more important than earnings, so we are comfortable that the dividend will be sustainable going forward, especially with so much cash left over for reinvestment. Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise by 45.3% over the next year. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we think the payout ratio could be 51% by next year, which is in a pretty sustainable range. See our latest analysis for IntegraFin Holdings It's comforting to see that IntegraFin Holdings has been paying a dividend for a number of years now, however it has been cut at least once in that time. This suggests that the dividend might not be the most reliable. Since 2019, the annual payment back then was £0.064, compared to the most recent full-year payment of £0.104. This means that it has been growing its distributions at 8.4% per annum over that time. We have seen cuts in the past, so while the growth looks promising we would be a little bit cautious about its track record. Given that the dividend has been cut in the past, we need to check if earnings are growing and if that might lead to stronger dividends in the future. However, IntegraFin Holdings' EPS was effectively flat over the past five years, which could stop the company from paying more every year. There are exceptions, but limited earnings growth and a high payout ratio can signal that a company has reached maturity. That's fine as far as it goes, but we're less enthusiastic as this often signals that the dividend is likely to grow slower in the future. Overall, this is a reasonable dividend, and it being raised is an added bonus. The dividend has been at reasonable levels historically, but that hasn't translated into a consistent payment. The dividend looks okay, but there have been some issues in the past, so we would be a little bit cautious. Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one. However, there are other things to consider for investors when analysing stock performance.
