Harsha V Agarwal, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Emami said: “Q4FY26 was impacted by temporary external headwinds, including unfavourable seasonal conditions affecting the summer portfolio and geopolitical disruptions in West Asia, which weighed on overall business performance during the quarter. Despite these challenges, the resilience of our core domestic business remained evident, with the non-summer portfolio delivering healthy 11% growth. Our international business also maintained strong momentum through most of the quarter before geopolitical developments in West Asia impacted operations in March. While these factors affected near-term performance, we believe they represent a passing phase rather than a structural concern, and we expect business momentum to improve from next quarter itself. We remain firmly focused on long-term growth through continued investments behind its core brands and strategic expansion into high-growth new-age FMCG segments. In the current financial year, we are strengthening our future growth portfolio through investments in Axiom Ayurveda and IncNut Digital, aligned with evolving consumer preferences and emerging market opportunities.” Mohan Goenka, Vice Chairman and Whole-Time Director, Emami said: “The quarter tested the resilience of our operating model, and the business responded with disciplined execution. Despite a muted demand environment, we delivered a gross margin expansion of 250 basis points through strong cost management and operational efficiencies, while increasing investments behind our brands by 12% to support future growth. We are encouraged by the early trends in Q1FY27, particularly across the summer portfolio, supported by expanded distribution, focused media investments and stronger trade activation. We remain confident in the strength of our brands and our ability to deliver sustained profitable growth.” Result PDF
