AWL Agri Business has reported its highest-ever last twelve months (LTM) revenue of Rs 697.32 billion as of September 2025, marking a robust 28 per cent year-on-year growth.

While consumer demand remained softer than expected through the fiscal year, the company registered strong sequential gains during the quarter and remains optimistic about sustaining this momentum in the coming periods.

For Q2 FY’26, AWL recorded revenue of Rs 176.05 billion, a 22 per cent increase year-on-year, driven primarily by the Edible Oils and Industry Essentials segments. The company also achieved a 2 per cent YoY volume growth. Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at Rs 2.45 billion, down 21 per cent YoY, largely due to a strong base quarter comparison.

Segment-wise, revenue from Edible Oils rose 26 per cent YoY, while Industry Essentials reported a 19 per cent increase. Meanwhile, Food & FMCG revenue declined 2 per cent, impacted by lower non-branded rice exports, the absence of last year’s one-off G2G rice business, and the consolidation of the non-basmati rice segment.

On an LTM basis, AWL delivered a normalized operating EBITDA of Rs 23.28 billion. For Q2 FY’26, normalized operating EBITDA stood at Rs 5.59 billion, with PAT at Rs 2.45 billion.

The company remains confident in its diversified portfolio and expects continued growth momentum driven by resilient performance across its core business segments.
