Emami Reports Strong Q1 FY27 Performance Driven by Domestic Growth and Strategic Investments
Emami Limited announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27), showcasing a consolidated revenue growth of 15%, amounting to ₹1,039 crore. The domestic business emerged as a key growth engine, with a significant 20% increase in revenue. On a like-to-like basis, the domestic business achieved a healthy 12% growth, accompanied by 8% volume growth, after accounting for recent startup acquisitions.
Category Performance Highlights
The company highlighted robust performance across its key business segments. The Hair and Scalp Care category was a standout performer, delivering 11% growth, with brands like Navratna Cool Oil posting strong double-digit growth. Skin Care grew by 3%, with the Talc portfolio showing high single-digit growth. The Healthcare segment saw 2% growth, with the OTC portfolio performing well in the high teens.
Strategic Investments Fuel New Age Growth
A significant driver of Emami’s growth was its strategic investment portfolio, which delivered an impressive 61% like-to-like growth on a consolidated basis. This segment now contributes 18% of the domestic business, underscoring the increasing relevance of its new-age growth engines like The Man Company and Brillare. The recently acquired businesses, Axiom Ayurveda and IncNut, have also started on a strong footing, contributing positively to the overall performance.
Profitability Amidst Cost Pressures
Despite facing inflationary pressures from higher crude oil prices and packaging material costs, Emami managed to grow its EBITDA by 6% to ₹226 crore and profit before tax by 4% to ₹195 crore. Profit after tax stood at ₹137 crore, a decrease of 16% primarily due to the normalization of the effective tax rate. The company is implementing pricing actions and focusing on productivity enhancements to mitigate cost impacts.
Diversified Portfolio and Channel Transformation
Emami emphasized its ongoing transformation journey, building a diversified portfolio that spans traditional FMCG, personal care, healthcare, premium beauty, digital-first brands, and emerging consumer platforms.
