🧠 At a Glance
Greenlam Industries, India’s decorative laminates and veneer giant, has grown its topline steadily over five years. But rising debt, plunging margins, and a 50% profit drop in FY25 have peeled off the shine. Can its capex-heavy expansion deliver returns — or is this just plywood panic?
🧰 1. What Greenlam Does (Besides Confusing Investors)
Greenlam is your go-to brand when your architect says,“Sir, Italian look chahiye, but budget bhi dekhiye.”
They sell:
- 🎨Laminates: High-pressure, compact panels, kitchen solutions
- 🌳Veneers: Natural, teak, engineered wood
- 🪑Wooden Flooring+ doors, clads, and facades
- 🧱Plywood & Blockboards
- 🔜Particle Board(new plant in progress)
Essentially, if
it looks like wood and costs less than wood, they probably sell it.
📈 2. 5-Year Financial Performance: Topline Good, Bottomline Burnt
🧾 Revenue (Consolidated)
| FY | Revenue (₹ Cr) | Growth |
|---|---|---|
| FY21 | ₹1,200 | — |
| FY22 | ₹1,703 | +42% |
| FY23 | ₹2,026 | +19% |
| FY24 | ₹2,306 | +14% |
| FY25 | ₹2,569 | +11% |
🟢 Revenue CAGR (5Y):19%— impressive on paper.
💀 Net Profit
| FY | Net Profit (₹ Cr) | YoY Growth |
|---|---|---|
| FY21 | ₹74 | — |
| FY22 | ₹91 | +23% |
| FY23 | ₹129 | +41% |
| FY24 | ₹138 | +7% |
| FY25 | ₹68 | -50% 🩸 |
So FY25 saw amassive crash, with Q4 alone showing just ₹1.47 Cr net profit. That’s not earnings — that’s a rounding error.
