Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL) reported a strong Q1 FY27, with consolidated revenues growing 19% year-on-year, driven by a 9% underlying volume growth. EBITDA increased by 14% with margins at 19%, while net profit grew by 11%. The company highlighted broad-based growth across India and Indonesia, and an exceptional performance in Africa.
GCPL is progressing towards its objectives of delivering consistent double-digit volume growth, turning around its Africa business, and revitalizing its India Household Insecticides (HI) segment. The company announced the launch of 'Godrej Rizz', its entry into the liquid dishwash category, a INR2,500-3,000 crore market. Speedboat categories like Godrej Fab, GK Incense Sticks, and Godrej Air continue to show strong growth.
The company gained market share in the household insecticide category in India after nearly a decade. Despite challenging input costs, particularly elevated LPG prices, GCPL managed double-digit EBITDA growth. The company anticipates continued volatility in commodity prices but remains confident in its strategy of calibrated pricing actions and cost-saving programs.
In Africa, the FMCG portfolio showed strong growth, with significant progress in air fresheners and incense sticks. The business has shown structural improvement in EBITDA and sustained top-line growth and profitability over several quarters.
GCPL expects to exceed full-year guidance for revenue growth and potentially for EBITDA and volume growth, depending on commodity price movements. The company also addressed concerns about El Nino's potential impact, noting it could positively affect household insecticides in Indonesia and the second half in India, while also highlighting its diversified portfolio's resilience.
