What the record says.
Dabur India delivered a solid Q4 FY26 with consolidated revenue growth of 7.3% YoY, driven by a strong domestic FMCG performance of 9.5% (volume growth 6%). The HPC portfolio was the standout, growing 17% with hair oils up 28% and home care up 24%. Healthcare ex-glucose grew 12.5%, while beverages saw sequential recovery. Management revised FY27 revenue guidance upward to low double-digits (from high single-digit), supported by price increases to offset 10% input cost inflation. EBITDA grew 8.2% and PAT 15%. Key risks include Middle East geopolitical headwinds impacting international business (2.5% growth) and potential El Niño disrupting summer-sensitive categories. Margin expansion is targeted through pricing, premiumization, and cost savings, though crude-linked inflation remains a watchpoint.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management upgraded from high single-digit to low double-digit revenue growth for FY27, driven by price increases and volume growth.
- Management aims to improve margins year-on-year through pricing, premiumization, and cost savings, despite 10% input cost inflation.
- HPC portfolio is expected to grow at least double-digit in FY27, with hair oils, shampoos, and home care continuing strong momentum.
- Despite Middle East disruptions, management expects international business to grow in double digits, aided by rupee depreciation and price increases.
Risks flagged
- War in West Asia is causing supply chain disruptions, inflation, and demand decline in the Middle East, which constitutes 30-35% of international business.
- Unseasonal rains could impact beverages and glucose portfolios, which are heavily dependent on summer demand.
- Crude-linked raw material and packaging costs are rising ~10%, and while price increases are planned, sustained inflation could erode margins if not fully passed through.
- Management noted a dichotomy between strong company results and Nielsen data showing sequential FMCG growth moderation, which could indicate broader demand slowdown.
Key quotes
- We are quite unhappy with this performance because entire HPC portfolio has grown by 17% with this being an outlier... oral care only where we've seen a muted performance of around 6-7% growth.
- We are committed to increasing our margins going forward... we will prioritize our margin to our media going forward while we are committed to doing more media.
- If the summer turns out to be acute this will do very well. If not because of the low basis still we'll be better off than last year in any case.
