RIL Q4 Results: Date, Dividend Announcement, What To Expect And Other Key Details

Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) will announce its financial results for the quarter and financial year ending March 31 this week. The investors and analysts will keep a watch on the company's retail business growth and the financial performance of the telecom arm, Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd.

The company's growth outlook will also be closely watched by market observers. Goldman Sachs expects a flat core Ebitda for the conglomerate and estimates retail ex-connectivity revenue to grow by 6.5% year-on-year. With expected nearly flat Ebitda for FY25, attention will shift to FY26, where growth is expected from a retail rebound, Jio earnings boost and stronger refining margins.

The multinational conglomerate operates across energy, petrochemicals, natural gas, retail, entertainment, telecom, media, and textiles. During Friday's result declaration, while Jio and retail will remain in focus, investors will also watch for a potential initial public offering announcement for Jio.

RIL has scheduled a meeting of its Board of Directors on April 25 to consider and approve the standalone and consolidated audited financial results of the Company for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2025.

The board will also discuss the raising of funds by way of issuance of listed, secured / unsecured, redeemable non-convertible debentures on private placement basis, in one or more tranches.

RIL board is also expected to recommend a dividend on equity shares of the company for the financial year 2024-25.

"A presentation to the analysts and media on financial results of the Company for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2025 shall be made on the same day after the meeting," the exchange filing said.

On March 28, the company announced that its trading window will be closed from April 1, in compliance with SEBI’s trading-related protocols for the earnings period. The window will reopen 48 hours after the yearly financial results are made public. The rule applies to directors, promoters, and other designated persons.

In Q3 FY25, Reliance's gross revenue stood at Rs 2.39 lakh crore, up 4% on a quarter-on-quarter basis. The company's Ebitda reached Rs 48,003 crore in the December quarter. Reliance posted a profit after tax of Rs 21,930 crore for the quarter, a 12% increase compared to the previous quarter. The conglomerate’s capital expenditure during the period stood at Rs 32,259 crore. 

On a QoQ basis, RIL’s Ebitda margin rose to 18.2% from 16.9%, beating Bloomberg’s estimate of 17.2%. The oil-to-chemicals (O2C) segment, which accounts for over 60% of revenue, saw a 4% drop in sales due to lower exports. However, operating profit for the segment rose 16% quarter-on-quarter to Rs 14,402 crore, reflecting improved efficiency.

Shares of Reliance Industries opened flat on Tuesday at Rs 1,296 apiece on the NSE.

In the last five sessions, the stock has jumped 4.51%. The stock hit its 52-week low on April 7 at Rs 1,114 apiece on the NSE. However, it has recovered 16% so far from the 52-week low level.

Amid the ongoing global economic uncertainty, Reliance shares have declined 3.32% in the last six months. This marks a 19% decrease from the stock’s 52-week high of Rs 1,608 apiece on the NSE clocked in July 2024. 

About the meeting, Goldman Sachs said it expects updates on FY26 retail growth guidance and progress on new energy capacity ramp-up in Reliance’s quarterly update. The company had earlier guided for solar module production by end-CY24 and 30GWh battery production starting in the second half of CY25.

Besides dividends, a major focus will remain on potential IPO announcements related to Jio and the retail segment of Reliance. The company may also share critical updates on its recently announced partnership with Elon Musk’s Starlink.
