Consumer goods maker Emami on Friday reported an 8.9% year-on-year (y-o-y) rise in consolidated net profit at `162.17 crore for the January-March quarter. Consolidated revenue rose 8.1% y-o-y to `963.05 crore.
Sequentially, revenue was down 8.3%, while net profit fell 41.9%.
Despite geopolitical volatility across Bangladesh, West Asia and parts of Africa, Emami’s international business posted a 6% growth in Q4, it said. Strong momentum was witnessed across SAARC, SEA, CIS, and African markets, the firm said.
For the full fiscal 2024-25, revenue from operations was up 6.5% at `3,809.19 crore, while net profit grew 11.5% to `806.46 crore.
Emami said organised trade channels comprising modern trade, e-commerce and institutional sales contributed 27.6% of domestic revenue in FY25, expanding by 140 basis points y-o-y.
Clocking a 13% increase y-o-y, these channels outpaced overall domestic growth, the company said.
Emami said it was confident of navigating short-term macro uncertainties through portfolio premiumisation, innovation acceleration, enhanced channel productivity, and strategic international expansion.
Harsha V Agarwal, vice-chairman and MD at Emami, said the core domestic business continued to demonstrate strong momentum, delivering a double-digit growth of 11% in Q4, supported by a volume growth of 7%.
He said the input costs broadly remained under control and did not pose any major challenge in the near future. “Going forward, we’re focused on strengthening our core brands and unlocking new growth through brand extensions, premium offerings, and sharper channel strategies,” he added.
