EPL Limited has announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. The company delivered a strong fiscal year with 13.0% revenue growth and an EBITDA margin of 20.4%. For the final quarter (Q4FY26), EPL achieved 17.6% revenue growth, driven by solid performance in the Beauty & Cosmetics segment and a strategic focus on sustainable packaging solutions across global markets.
Full Year and Quarterly Performance Highlights
EPL Limited concluded FY26 with a robust financial performance. The company reported a full-year revenue growth of 13.0%, complemented by an EBITDA margin of 20.4%, representing a 49 bps increase over the previous year. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) also improved, reaching 19.0% with a year-on-year increase of 96 bps.
For the fourth quarter (Q4FY26), the company achieved a strong revenue growth of 17.6%. Despite challenges such as adverse forex impacts and higher effective tax rates, the company maintained an EBITDA margin of 20.2%, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of delivering margins exceeding 20%.
Strategic Growth in Personal Care and Beyond
A key driver for EPL’s growth remains its ‘Personal Care & Beyond’ category, which now accounts for 53% of total revenue. This segment recorded a 23%+ growth in FY26, primarily fueled by strong momentum in the Beauty & Cosmetics sector. The company continues to prioritize this segment to sustain long-term double-digit revenue growth.
Sustainability and Operational Excellence
EPL continues to lead in sustainability, having achieved the EcoVadis Platinum Rating, which places the company among the top 1% of over 150,000 assessed companies globally. Sustainable tubes now comprise more than one-third of the total portfolio (38%). Additionally, the company has focused on navigating global supply chain complexities, including significant input cost inflation, by ensuring supply continuity and focusing on cost-pass-through mechanisms to protect absolute EBITDA growth.
Future Outlook
Looking ahead, EPL remains focused on three core pillars: Scale, Profitability, and Capital Efficiency. The company’s strategic roadmap includes an aggressive ‘Beauty & Cosmetics’ play, scaling operations in Brazil, geographical expansion through Thailand, and a disciplined approach to M&A. EPL has set a target of achieving ROCE of 25%+ by FY29 through consistent margin improvement and operational efficiencies.
