Whirlpool of India Limited announced its Q4 FY2025-26 results, reporting a high single-digit revenue growth on a consolidated basis. The company's revenue stood at INR 2,181 crore, despite a muted industry growth and the impact of new energy regulations for refrigerators that necessitated a significant phase-in/phase-out of products. Key growth drivers included strong performance in the washer business, where the company secured the number two position in semi-automatic and top-load segments, and a 50% growth in the air conditioner business. Segment premiumization and a 30% revenue increase in the Elica cooking business also contributed positively.
Profitability was impacted by regulatory cost charges, specifically incremental e-waste expenses and energy upgrade costs for air conditioners and refrigerators. The company incurred an EBITDA of INR 121 crore (5.6% margin), a decrease of 33.7% year-on-year, and profit before exceptional items was INR 110 crore (5% margin), down 29% year-on-year. The full-year FY26 revenue crossed INR 8,000 crore, reaching INR 8,034 crore, a 1.4% increase year-on-year. However, full-year EBITDA was INR 481 crore (6% margin), down 12.6%, and profit before exceptional items was INR 426 crore (5.3% margin), down 12% year-on-year, primarily due to incremental e-waste provisions.
The company also released the transcript of its Q4 FY2025-26 conference call for investors and analysts, which was held on May 22, 2026. The call featured management discussions on business overview, strategic imperatives, and financial performance, including market share gains in various segments, new product launches, and premiumization strategies. The management highlighted efforts to drive cost efficiencies through the 'Productivity for Growth' (P4G) program, which helped offset commodity cost headwinds and currency depreciation.
