1A. SUMMARY OF COMPANY''S OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

During the FY 2024-25, the Company recorded a decline of 8.45% in revenue from operations, amounting to R6,387.22 Lakhs, as compared to R6,977.15 Lakhs in the previous financial year. Despite the reduction in topline revenue, the Company reported a marginal increase in Profit Before Tax, which stood at R338.96 Lakhs, up from R322.68 Lakhs in the preceding year, reflecting a growth of 4.80%. This improvement is attributable to prudent cost management and operational efficiencies implemented during the year. However, overall profitability remained under pressure due to persistent macroeconomic headwinds and industry-specific challenges.

The global quartz industry witnessed a substantial oversupply during the year, resulting in intense pricing pressure and heightened competition. This, coupled with a significant slowdown in demand from the U.S. market-driven by elevated interest rates and sustained inflation-led to stagnant market conditions and constrained pricing power. These factors collectively impacted the Company''s revenue realisation and overall financial performance during the year under review.

2. DIVIDEND:

The Board of Directors is pleased to recommend the declaration of a final dividend amounting to Rs. 2.00 per share (20% on the face value of Rs. 10/-) for FY 24-25, aggregating an amount of Rs. 205.38 Lakhs. The said dividend, if approved by the Members at the ensuing Annual General Meeting (''the AGM''), will be paid to those Members whose name appears on the register of Members of the Company.

In terms of the provisions of Regulation 43A of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ("the Listing Regulations"), the Company has formulated a Dividend Distribution Policy.

The recommended dividend is in line with our Company''s dividend policy, which is available on the Company''s Website http://www.divyashakti.com.

As of the close of the financial year, the Company had export orders on hand valued at R300 Lakhs, compared to R400 Lakhs in the previous year.

1A. SUMMARY OF COMPANY''S OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

In the FY 2023-24, there was a 7.62% decrease in revenue from operations, declining from Rs. 7553.12 Lakhs to Rs. 6977.15 Lakhs. Additionally, the profit before tax dropped significantly, standing at Rs. 322.68 Lakhs compared to Rs. 1101.26 Lakhs in the previous year, marking a decrease of 70.67%. These declines are attributed to the unstable US market conditions, which have adversely affected revenue generation.

During the FY 2023-24, the market experienced a lack of sale price increase due to an enormous surge in quartz supply globally, very huge competition for supply of quartz accompanied with an unprecedented price war while the demand in the US Market considerably cooled given the very high interest rates and inflationary pressures. Consequently, this led to stagnant market conditions and declining profits throughout the fiscal year.

Mar 31, 2013

Dear Shareholders,

The Directors present the 22nd Annual Report and the Audited Accounts for the financial year ended 31st March, 2013, on a very sad note by informing the members that Sri N.V.Rattaiah, CMD of our company expired on 09.02.2013 suddenly in harness due to a massive heart attack while attending to official duties in the office leaving a huge void in the organization. Born in an illustrious family of Narasaraopet, Guntur District on 31.07.1941, he qualified as a Civil Engineer from Manipal. After completion of academics, he served in BHEL, BHPV etc. for brief period before coming out on his own to establish M/s N.V.Rattaiah & Co., and earn an impeccable name as a reputed Builder showcasing landmarks like Divyashakti Complex and Apartments. The ongoing Divya Sree Shakti Township project is another blossoming project promoted by him. Never content with resting on his laurels, he envisaged and built up M/s Divyashakti Granites Limited (EOU) brick by brick starting way back in 1991. Today it has grown into a very reputed company exporting processed granite, which name is synonymous to quality. Another note worthy contribution to the company is that he has made the company debt free. The void created by his sudden and untimely departure is well nigh impossible to be filled.

Your Company has exported polished granite slabs and polished monuments valued at Rs.4933 lakhs to U.S.A. during the year under consideration.
