EPL Limited Reports Strong Quarter With Double Digit Growth

EPL Limited reported a strong fourth quarter and full fiscal year performance, with revenue rising 17.6 per cent in Q4 FY26 to Rs 13,005 million (mn). This marked the four consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth and the highest annual expansion in five years, reflecting strategic investments in capacity, innovation and geographic diversification. Momentum was broad based across categories and geographies.

EBITDA for the quarter stood at Rs 2,632 mn, with margins of 20.2 per cent driven by operational efficiencies and an improved product mix. For the full year FY26, revenue reached Rs 47,631 mn, up 13 per cent year on year, while annual EBITDA was Rs 9,724 mn, representing a margin of 20.4 per cent, an improvement of 49 basis points. Full year profit after tax excluding exceptional items grew 15 per cent to Rs 4,171 mn, underlining the company's ability to convert top line momentum into superior bottom line outcomes. The managing director and chief executive described FY26 as a defining year and said the strategic shift towards Beauty and Cosmetics had begun to translate into results.

Beauty and Cosmetics delivered around 30 per cent year on year growth, becoming larger than Oral Care in most key markets as Oral Care recovered with ten per cent growth. Regional performance was robust, with EAP and the Americas leading at 25 per cent and 24.1 per cent respectively, Europe at 15.5 per cent, AMESA at 10.4 per cent and India standalone at 11.5 per cent. Personal care and beyond now account for 53 per cent of the portfolio mix.

During FY26 the company commissioned a new manufacturing plant in Thailand, further strengthening its global footprint. Sustainable tube formats now contribute 38 per cent of sales and the company achieved an EcoVadis Platinum rating, placing it among the top one per cent of companies globally on environmental, social and governance performance. EPL was certified as a Great Place to Work across seven countries, with women representing 32 per cent of the workforce and more than 150 persons with disabilities employed, and it said it would focus on sustaining momentum, scaling in high growth markets and executing its proposed merger.
