Britannia reported a robust Q3 FY26 with revenue of ₹4,885 crore (+9.5% YoY) and PAT of ₹680 crore (+16.9% YoY). Growth was driven by a 50/50 split between volume and GST-led value realization, with November-December seeing ~12% growth. EBITDA margin expanded to 18.3% (operating profit ₹895 crore, +17.4% YoY) aided by benign commodity costs. Management highlighted five strategic priorities: sales efficiency, brand investment, innovation, fighting regional competition, and sustainability. Adjacencies (cake, rusk, croissants, wafers) grew in double digits, with e-commerce salience at high single digits and expected to reach early teens by FY27. Key risks include delayed GST transition by competitors causing channel disruption and potential volatility in wheat/flour prices post-harvest.
ब्रिटानिया ने Q3 FY26 में मजबूत प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल कमाई ₹4,885 करोड़ रही, जो पिछले साल से 9.5% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा ₹680 करोड़ रहा, जो 16.9% बढ़ा। यह वृद्धि आधी बिक्री बढ़ने और आधी GST के कारण कीमतों में बढ़ोतरी से हुई। नवंबर-दिसंबर में बिक्री लगभग 12% बढ़ी। कंपनी का परिचालन मुनाफा (EBITDA) 18.3% रहा, जो ₹895 करोड़ है। कच्चे माल की कीमतें कम होने से मदद मिली। प्रबंधन ने पांच मुख्य रणनीतियाँ बताईं: बिक्री सुधार, ब्रांड में निवेश, नए उत्पाद, स्थानीय प्रतिस्पर्धा से लड़ना और पर्यावरण का ध्यान रखना। केक, रस्क, क्रोइसैन और वेफर्स जैसे नए उत्पादों की बिक्री दो अंकों में बढ़ी। ऑनलाइन बिक्री अब कुल बिक्री का 9% है, जो FY27 तक 13% होने की उम्मीद है। जोखिमों में प्रतिस्पर्धियों का GST बदलाव में देरी और गेहूं-आटे की कीमतों में उतार-चढ़ाव शामिल है।
