These factors are highly impactful for investor perception and future outlook.

Key business segments (products and services) showed significant positive momentum, with a clear turnaround in the service business and successful product innovations. Management expressed confidence in sustained future growth and market share stability.
* Eureka Forbes Limited announced its Q1 FY26 earnings, reporting a 9.9% year-on-year (YoY) revenue growth to ₹607.7 crores, despite a challenging consumer demand environment. * Profit After Tax (PAT) increased by 24.1% YoY to ₹38.5 crores. * The company achieved adjusted EBITDA margins of 11%, absorbing higher service charge payouts and increased growth investments. * The product business continued its strong performance with double-digit growth in both volumes and value, marking the seventh successive quarter of double-digit value growth. * Water purifiers (EWPs) saw double-digit volume growth driven by penetration in the economy segment and premiumization through smart IoT-enabled products. The company scaled up its range of EWPs with two-year filter life, which significantly lowers lifetime ownership costs, now offering over 40 such products. * Vacuum cleaners (VCs) achieved strong double-digit growth, largely propelled by a 52% growth in robotics. New robotic products like Forbes SmartClean Home Mapping Turbo and Forbes SmartClean Auto Bin Turbo were rolled out. * The service business experienced a clear and decisive turnaround, with healthy double-digit growth in fresh service bookings, attributed to increased AMC counts and higher Average Selling Price (ASP), including multi-year bookings. * Key initiatives driving service growth include segmented AMC offerings, a robust D2C engine for AMCs (nearly two-thirds bought digitally), strengthened engagement with business partners, direct payouts to technicians, and differentiated filter awareness campaigns. * Gross margins for Q1 stood at 59.7% (compared to 60.5% last year), impacted by tactical promotions but expected to remain range-bound due to structural advantages and cost management. * Management expressed confidence in sustaining double-digit service bookings growth, with revenue reflection expected from Q4 FY26 due to amortization lag. * The company noted that EWP penetration in India is low (around 6%), presenting immense growth potential, and despite increased competition, its market share has remained unchanged. * The company aims for full-year margin improvement in FY26, driven by operating leverage and ongoing cost efficiencies.
