Packaged Foods company Prataap Snacks announced Q1FY26 results Income from operations of Rs 4,089.4 million, an increase of 3% over Q4FY25 Operating EBITDA of Rs 180.1 million, higher by 3.7x compared to Rs 49.2 million in Q4FY25 PAT of Rs 6.9 million compared to loss of Rs (119.4) million in Q4FY25 EPS (Diluted) stood at Rs 0.29 per share Amit Kumat – MD, Prataap Snacks said: “We are pleased to report a positive start to the financial year with Q1FY26 revenues of Rs 4,089.4 million., reflecting 3% growth on a sequential quarter basis. On a year-on-year basis, revenues experienced a decline of 2.4%, primarily due to persistent macroeconomic challenges impacting overall consumption in lower income groups. However, we are encouraged by a noticeable improvement in demand trends towards the latter half of the quarter, signaling improved market sentiment towards discretionary spends. Encouragingly, we have also witnessed an improvement in margin, primarily driven by the decline in input prices and supported by the positive impact of ongoing initiatives of grammage rationalization and process enhancement. From a product perspective, our pellet and namkeen categories have been the cornerstone of our topline growth this quarter. We have expanded the reach of these products, increasing availability across key touchpoints. Furthermore, we are excited to announce the launch of new namkeen SKUs, including Bhunja and Kasturi, tailored to resonate with consumer preferences in the eastern region. These innovations are poised to strengthen our market penetration and drive incremental growth in these high-potential markets. While inflationary pressures continue to pose challenges to consumption, early indicators suggest a gradual recovery in demand. The timely onset of the monsoon is expected to bolster rural economic activity, a critical driver for our industry. With a positive performance in Q1FY26, we are optimistic about sustaining this momentum through the remainder of the financial year. Our strategic focus on innovation, operational excellence, market expansion supported by greater integration of technology positions us well to capitalize on emerging opportunities and deliver sustainable value to our stakeholders.” Result PDF
