Jio Financial Q4 Results 2025: First-Ever Dividend Expected

A Major Milestone in Reliance’s Financial Arm

Jio Financial Services, the non-banking financial company (NBFC) backed by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, has officially announced the date for its Q4 FY25 earnings release. According to the latest filing with the stock exchange, the Board of Directors will meet on Thursday, April 17, 2025, to finalize the financial results for the quarter and year ending March 31, 2025.

In a significant development, the company has also hinted at declaring its first-ever dividend, making this announcement eagerly awaited by shareholders and market watchers alike.

When Will Jio Financial Declare Results?

Date and Time:

As per the exchange filing, the board meeting is scheduled for April 17, and it is likely that the results will be released post-market hours, after 7 PM. This follows the pattern of the Q3 FY25 results, which were disclosed around 7:30 PM.

“The meeting is convened to consider and approve both standalone and consolidated audited financial results,” the company stated in the filing.

Possible First-Ever Dividend for Shareholders

This quarter could be a landmark for investors in Jio Financial Services as the board may recommend a dividend on equity shares for the first time since the company’s inception. If approved, this would mark a significant milestone for the Reliance Group’s financial subsidiary.

“The Board may also consider declaring a dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2025,” the exchange note mentioned.

Q3 FY25 Performance Recap: A Mixed Bag

Before we look ahead, here’s a quick review of how Jio Financial fared in the previous quarter:

Key Metrics for Q3 FY25:

Consolidated Net Profit: ₹295 crore (YoY: ₹294 crore)
Revenue: ₹438 crore (↑6% YoY from ₹414 crore)
QoQ Net Profit Decline: Down 57% from ₹689 crore in Q2
QoQ Revenue Decline: Down 37% from ₹693 crore in Q2
Interest Income: ₹210 crore (↓22% YoY from ₹270 crore)
Assets Under Management (AUM): ₹4,199 crore (up from ₹1,206 crore in Q2)

While the company maintained profit on a YoY basis, the sequential dip in earnings and interest income suggests challenges in interest rate environments and operational scale.

Expert Insight: Should Investors Be Optimistic?

While the dividend buzz is exciting, experts recommend a cautious approach. The fall in quarterly profits and revenue indicates underlying pressure, possibly from slower disbursals or operational cost increases.
