4) FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
A) Income statement analysis
A small rise in earnings brought them close to ₹272 Cr, yet gains held steady without notable change. Despite higher income, bottom-line figures saw little movement over the period.
Analysis
- Though modest, income trends upward without interruption. Over time, gains build steadily despite limited speed. Progress remains gradual yet reliable throughout each period observed
- Profit margins remain low
- Shows a steady pace without rapid expansion
Year | Revenue (₹ Cr approx) | Net Profit (₹ Cr) |
FY2022 | 240 | 5 |
FY2023 | 260 | 6 |
FY2024 | 270 | 7 |
FY2025 | 272 | 6.6 |


B) Balance sheet analysis
Key observations:
- Debt-to-equity ratio around 0.59 (moderate debt)
- Company has improved its debt position over time
- Primarily, assets consist of production facilities along with funds used for daily operations
C) Cash Flow Statement analysis
- Money moves because of goods sold abroad
- Because of stock levels and money owed by customers, firms need more working funds. Inventory ties up cash that could go elsewhere. Receivables delay income flow, increasing financial pressure. Cash sits idle instead of being reinvested. Managing these elements shapes how much capital stays locked in operations
- Cash flows fluctuate with global demand
D) Key Financial Ratios
Ratio | Value |
ROE | ~6–7% |
ROCE | ~8–9% |
P/E Ratio | ~9–10 |
Debt-to-Equity | ~0.59 |
Interpretation:

- Moderate leverage
- Fair value seems modest when set beside sector norms

FY2024 | 270 | 7 |
FY2025 | 272 | 6.6 |

6. CONCLUSION
Despite steady operations, Super Tannery Ltd grows at a modest pace within the leather export sector. Its reach spans globally, yet earnings reveal limited expansion and narrow profit margins. A solid lineup of products supports its position, though results lag behind market leaders. International markets remain accessible, still returns stay under pressure. Strength in manufacturing exists; however, financial gains do not reflect that advantage. Average performance marks this business as stable yet slow-growing, operating reliably without major upsides. Still, refining how resources are used could lift profit margins over time. Though consistent, current methods leave room for gains through sharper execution.
