Revenue for the quarter stood at Rs 420 crore, reflecting growth of 5% year-on-year, while operating profit increased by 319%. Reflecting our continued confidence in the business and commitment to shareholder value creation, the Board of Directors has recommended a dividend of 10% per equity share on a face value of Rs 5 each, translating to Rs 0.50 per equity share for FY26. Topline growth during the quarter was supported by productivity led gains anchored on a deepening technology footprint, including SFA-led analytics, which have strengthened execution and enhanced market responsiveness. This was further complemented by continued expansion of our distribution network and stronger presence across emerging channels. We are also encouraged by the performance of recently launched products, with new flavours and variants receiving positive consumer acceptance. In parallel, we are making steady progress in driving higher pack sizes across select categories. We also delivered improved margins during the quarter, both on a YoY and sequential basis. This was enabled by favourable trends in certain input costs, alongside focused initiatives to enhance operating efficiencies and maintain disciplined cost management. Quick commerce remains an exciting growth avenue for the Company. Building on encouraging progress from our initial initiatives, we are now expanding our presence across additional platforms while also widening the categories and variants available through this channel. Looking ahead to FY27, we believe the business is well positioned with multiple initiatives underway which have the potential to drive double-digit revenue growth in the year ahead. We are closely monitoring inflationary pressures across our input basket, notably packaging film and edible oil, which we will mitigate through calibrated grammage rationalisation and disciplined cost management.” Result PDF
Packaged Foods company Prataap Snacks announced Q3FY26 results Income from operations of Rs 4,615.8 million, an increase of 3.8% over Q3FY25. Operating EBITDA of Rs 203 million compared to Rs -54 million in Q3FY25. EBITDA margin stood at 4.4% as compared to -1.2% in Q3FY25. PAT of Rs 56.9 million compared to a loss of Rs -147 million in Q3FY25. EPS (Diluted) stood at Rs 2.38 per share. Amit Kumat, MD, Prataap Snacks, said: “We are pleased to report a strong performance in the third quarter, with revenues of Rs 461.6 crore, representing growth of 3.8% YoY and 6.9% QoQ. This also marks the highest-ever quarterly revenues in the Company’s history. We are witnessing early signs of improving customer sentiment across markets and regions, supported by expanded retail reach and sharper execution across our ‘Growth’ products and ‘Expand’ markets. Revenue growth, along with an increasing contribution from new distribution channels and operating leverage, translated into EBITDA of 4.4%. However, a sequential increase in key input costs, especially palm oil, exerted pressure on margins. In addition, we incurred expenditure of approximately Rs 9 crore towards scaling up our presence and capabilities in alternate channels, most notably the quick commerce channel, which is expected to support revenue traction in the coming quarters. Together, these factors led to a contraction of around 300 basis points in EBITDA margins on a sequential basis. Against this, our efforts towards enhancing operational efficiencies and optimising cost, coupled with improved realisations has substantially mitigated the impact on EBITDA to 90 basis points. The investments in alternate channels this quarter are front-loaded and foundational in nature – primarily directed towards marketing, visibility enhancement and building operational capabilities, enabling us to transition to a more structured and scalable operating model which will yield benefits over time. We believe a replicable execution template is now in place for quick commerce and we plan to scale our presence across multiple platforms. In parallel, initiatives across modern trade and export channels continue to progress steadily, further strengthening our multi-channel growth strategy. We are pleased to share that the Board has approved the establishment of a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the vicinity of Indore for capacity of 60,000 MT, entailing an investment up to Rs.425 crore. The facility will augment overall production capacity and incorporate a higher degree of automation, enabling improved process efficiency, streamlined operations, and a significant reduction in overheads. This is expected to optimise costs and structurally enhance the company’s margin profile. We remain confident that our internal growth initiatives—including capacity expansion, multi-channel distribution, product segmentation, and continuous efficiency improvements—combined with supportive external factors such as stable inflation, lower interest and tax rates, and GST rationalisation, position the Company well to deliver sustained topline growth and improved profitability in the quarters ahead.” Result PDF
Packaged Foods company Prataap Snacks announced Q2FY26 results Income from operations of Rs 4,298 million, an increase of 5% over Q1FY26. Operating EBITDA of Rs 229 million, higher by 27% compared to Rs 180 million in Q1FY26. EBITDA margin improves from 4.4% in Q1FY26 to 5.3% in Q2FY26, an increase of 92 basis points. PAT of Rs 41.4 million compared to Rs 6.9 million in Q1FY26, higher by 500% on a QoQ basis. EPS (Diluted) stood at Rs 1.94 per share an increase of 569% on a QoQ basis. Amit Kumat, MD, Prataap Snacks, said: “We have navigated the second quarter with resilience amid a demand environment that continues to be challenging. Revenues for Q2FY26 of Rs 4,298 million were higher by 5% on a QoQ basis. However, Q2 revenues reflect a modest decline on a year-on-year basis, primarily due to impact from GST transition. While categories such as Rings and smaller price-point packs of chips have seen some softness, our namkeen and pellet categories have held steady and continue to contribute positively to the topline. Despite these headwinds, we are pleased to report an increase in EBITDA by 27% and 20% on a QoQ and YoY basis respectively. Despite adverse variance in key input prices over the respective prior periods, interventions such as ongoing process optimization initiatives, and grammage rationalization have enabled an improvement in EBITDA margin. We are planning to set up a new, modern facility at Indore with greater degree of automation which will enable us to better streamline production and significantly reduce overheads, further optimising cost of production and structurally enhancing the margin profile. On the distribution front, we continue to execute our strategy with focus and discipline. While overall distribution coverage has increased marginally, our efforts to strengthen emerging channels are paying off—quick-commerce has delivered the strongest traction among new platforms, followed by modern trade, while exports continue to build gradually. Favourable macroeconomic conditions - including stable inflation, lower interest and tax rates, and the GST rationalisation - are driving a broad-based recovery in consumption. We are confident that this improved external environment, combined with the multiple internal initiatives we are implementing, will translate into accelerated topline growth and enhanced profitability. We believe these outcomes will be visible in the second half itself, driven by initiatives with near-term impact, and will further strengthen over time as medium- to long-term measures take effect.” Result PDF
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
Packaged Foods company Prataap Snacks announced Q4FY25 & FY25 results Q4FY25 Financial Highlights: Income from operations of Rs 4,006 million, change 3% YoY. Operating EBITDA of Rs 49 million. PAT of Rs (119) million. FY25 Financial Highlights: Income from operations of Rs 17,077 million, change 6% YOY. Operating EBITDA of Rs 487 million. PAT of Rs (140) million. The Board of Directors has proposed a dividend of 10% per share on a face value of Rs 5 each, translating to Rs 0.50 per share. Amit Kumat, MD, Prataap Snacks, said. “In FY25, we witnessed sustained inflationary pressures and weak consumption trends which have impacted demand for consumer products. The impact is more visible in the value segment. Given this backdrop, we are pleased to report positive revenue growth of 6% YoY for FY25 and 3% YoY in Q4FY25. Topline growth in Q4 would have been slightly higher, but for some lost sales due to the fire in our Jammu facility. We have enhanced capacities at other facilities located in North India towards end of the quarter. Our sharpened focus on core markets, data-driven sales strategies, and expanded distribution have been key enablers of the topline growth. In addition to witnessing encouraging trends in market share, we are pleased that our leadership in extruded snacks remains intact. During the year, we witnessed a sharp rise in input costs, especially palm oil and potatoes with other inputs also witnessing inflationary pressures. Our ongoing cost optimization initiatives delivered meaningful impact, easing some part of the margin pressures. As input prices eased slightly towards the end of the fiscal, we reported improved profitability in Q4 over Q3. Despite a challenging year, we have delivered a positive cash profit and improved working capital further. As a result, we continue to maintain a robust financial position with healthy levels of free cash. The Board has recommended a dividend of 10% of face value for the year, reinforcing our commitment towards creating value for shareholders. Over the year, we executed several strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening the foundation for sustained future growth. Our market segmentation framework will enable sharper, market-specific execution and more efficient resource allocation along with distribution augmentation. Comprehensive cost optimization efforts, including detailed benchmarking of manufacturing processes and operational efficiencies, are set to enhance competitiveness further by providing additional levers to structurally elevate margins. Looking ahead to FY26, our focus will be to drive sustainable profitable growth through sharper cost control, distribution expansion, and technology-led governance. With the strong foundation built in FY25 and a clear strategic roadmap ahead, we are confident in our ability to deliver enhanced value to all stakeholders in the coming years.” Result PDF
Packaged Foods company Prataap Snacks announced Q3FY25 results Q3FY25 Financial Highlights: Income from operations of Rs 4,426.9 million. Operating EBITDA of Rs (54.2) million. PAT of Rs -147.3 million. EPS (Diluted) stood at Rs -6.17 per share. Amit Kumat – MD, Prataap Snacks, said: “In a backdrop of persistent inflationary trends and sluggish consumer demand, we are pleased to report revenue growth of 9% on YoY basis. There has been improved demand in rural markets, even as urban markets remained subdued. Sales growth has been driven by a combination of expansion into new touchpoints as well as initiatives to optimize sales efforts at existing touchpoints and territories through enhanced efficiencies. Additionally, we formally commenced exports in Q3 with the shipment of initial batches. The third quarter witnessed continued increase in raw material prices, as anticipated, particularly for key ingredients such as palm oil and potato. Apart from the price rise, the reinstatement of import duties on crude and refined palm oil has contributed to the sharp increase in raw material costs in the current quarter. To mitigate these challenges, we implemented several measures, including recipe adjustments, process reengineering, grammage & trade margin optimization which have helped to partially offset the impact of rising costs. We have also recognized an exceptional loss this quarter, due to the fire at our Jammu facility. However, we maintained operational continuity at proximate markets by ramping up production at our Hisar and Karnal facilities. Our focus will be to drive topline growth through implementation of measures such as distribution expansion, range selling and Sales Force Automation with emphasis on regions where we enjoy a strong market share. We are undertaking efforts to enrich margins in a structural manner by aggressively optimising costs, introducing products to aid premiumization and driving growth in exports. We are confident that the combination of these measures will help us to realise accretive value in the quarters ahead.” Result PDF
