Q3 2025 earnings summary
6 Nov, 2025Executive summary
Reported net earnings of $3.2 million ($0.02 per diluted share) in Q3 2025, down from $34.0 million ($0.25 per diluted share) in Q3 2024, mainly due to significant unrealized foreign currency translation losses from Indian rupee depreciation against the U.S. dollar, which offset investment gains.
Book value per share decreased 3.3% to $20.72 at September 30, 2025, from $21.43 at June 30, 2025.
Financial highlights
Net change in unrealized gains on investments was $59.5 million, driven by increases in private company investments (notably BIAL, Seven Islands, Saurashtra), partially offset by declines in public and other private holdings.
Unrealized foreign currency translation losses totaled $103.1 million in Q3 2025 due to Indian rupee depreciation.
Cash and marketable securities stood at $72.9 million at quarter-end, with $69.5 million available under a revolving credit facility.
Total assets were $3.77 billion and total equity was $2.93 billion as of September 30, 2025.
Outlook and guidance
Proceeds from the pending sale of Saurashtra Freight Private Limited (expected in Q4 2025) will further strengthen liquidity.
Forward-looking statements highlight exposure to market, currency, and geopolitical risks, with no specific quantitative guidance provided.
