EPL Limited Announces Strong Q2FY27 Performance
EPL Limited has released its financial results for the second quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. The company has delivered a strong quarter characterized by a 30.0% increase in revenue and a 17.6% growth in EBITDA. This performance was attributed to broad-based momentum across various categories and geographical regions.
Key Financial Highlights
Excluding commodity pass-through pricing, the underlying revenue growth for the quarter was 20.3%, indicating strong acceleration in the core business. All regions reported significant growth, with EAP leading at 40.2%, followed by AMESA (28.0%), Americas (25.3%), and Europe (30.4%).
Underlying EBITDA margin remained strong at 20.4%, demonstrating resilience in a volatile operating environment. Reported EBITDA stood at 18.9%, impacted by commodity inflation-led pricing pass-through. Profit After Tax (PAT) growth of 5.6% was affected by higher depreciation, increased effective tax rate, and foreign exchange losses, with expectations for recovery in coming quarters. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) remained strong at 18.2%.
Strategic Investments and Growth Drivers
The company highlighted its stepped-up investments in new technologies and capabilities, including extrusion lines, printing lines, and new tooling investments. Additionally, investments in building differentiated capabilities through an Innovation CoE and manpower development are underway. These investments are resulting in double-digit revenue growth over the last six quarters.
EPL is focusing on acquiring new customers and increasing wallet share with major clients. The company also emphasized its commitment to sustainability, achieving a Platinum Rating from EcoVadis, placing it among the top 1% of companies globally for sustainability performance. The company has also been certified as “Great Place to Work” in 7 countries.
Outlook
Looking ahead, EPL aims for continuing double-digit revenue growth through an aggressive B&C play, Brazil scale-up, and geographical expansion. The company targets a ROCE of 25%+ by FY29, supported by consistent margin improvement and operational efficiencies. The merger with Indovida is progressing, with an indicative timeline for completion in Q4 FY27.
