The call provided detailed insights into the company’s financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2026.
Key Financial and Operational Highlights
During the call, management reported that Crompton achieved double-digit growth across all its business segments. This performance was attributed to strong execution, successful product launches, and steady seasonal demand. Despite an uncertain start to the quarter marked by commodity cost and availability pressures, the company maintained a disciplined approach, implementing timely pricing interventions and lean working capital management, which led to profits growing ahead of revenue.
Consolidated Performance
At a consolidated level, revenue grew by 11.8% year-on-year (YoY) to Rs. 2,235 crore. EBITDA saw a 14.2% YoY increase to Rs. 224 crore, with margins expanding by 20 basis points to reach 10%. Profit after tax grew by 15.2% to Rs. 143 crore, resulting in a net profit margin of 6.4%.
Segmental Performance Review
The ECD (Electrical Consumer Durables) business reported a 10.6% YoY revenue growth, with the BLDC portfolio growing by approximately 45%. The company also launched five new BLDC fans during the quarter, reinforcing its market leadership in ceiling fans. The Pumps business demonstrated strong performance and market share gains across its sub-categories.
Domestic Appliances achieved double-digit growth, notably driven by water heaters, which performed well in both trade and e-commerce channels. The company has solidified its leadership position in the water heater business in General Trade. The Lighting business continued its strong momentum, with revenue increasing by 15.4% YoY to Rs. 269 crore, driven by growth in both B2B and B2C segments. Margins in the B2C segment expanded, though B2B saw a contraction due to pre-contracted prices.
Butterfly delivered robust results with a 14% revenue increase to Rs. 214 crore, supported by market share gains in mixer grinders, pressure cookers, and glass tops. The EBIT at Butterfly grew by 19.5% YoY, with margins at 4.2%.
Strategic Initiatives and Future Outlook
The company highlighted significant progress in its brand transformation journey, with insights from a consumer study shaping a comprehensive relook at its brand architecture.
