The company reported strong revenue growth, doubled EBITDA, and improved margins year-on-year, indicating a positive financial performance despite market challenges.
Bajaj Consumer Care Limited announced a robust performance for the first quarter of FY27, with revenue growing by 28% to ₹341 crore. The company's EBITDA doubled to ₹84.4 crore, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 24.7%, and Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at ₹70.7 crore, with a margin of 20.7%.
Despite challenges from raw material price volatility due to the West Asia war, the company implemented selective price increases and MLH reductions. Gross margins improved by 510 basis points year-on-year to 61.8%, though sequentially lower than the previous quarter. Advertising spends were maintained at 14.6% of revenue, while other fixed costs, including employee costs, saw significant savings of over 600 basis points against Q1 FY26.
The company witnessed strong, broad-based growth across its general trade and organized trade channels, with both growing in the strong 20s. Urban retail, wholesale, and rural segments all showed robust performance, with the rural business recovering and growing in line with urban markets. Modern trade and e-commerce also performed well.
International business saw a strong rebound, with key markets like Nepal and Bangladesh achieving double-digit growth. The Almond Drop Hair Oil (ADHO) brand continued its strong performance with low teen volume growth, particularly driven by small packs and sachets. The growth portfolio, comprising smaller non-ADHO brands, grew in high single digits sequentially, despite value deflation in the coconut portfolio.
The company continues to invest in brand strengthening and digital initiatives, including influencer-led marketing campaigns. The "Aarohan" initiative for distribution expansion is ongoing, and the company is focused on profitable and sustainable growth for its non-ADHO portfolio, including brands like Banjara's.
Looking ahead, the company anticipates continued pressure on gross margins in Q2 FY27 due to inflationary prices, with expectations of sequential easing in Q3 and Q4. While EBITDA margins are currently at the higher end of their aspiration of low to mid-20s, future expansion will depend on revenue performance rather than further pricing actions. The company aims for consistent double-digit to low teens growth in the long term, driven by market share gains and strong execution.
