Quarter read
What the record says.
Huhtamaki India reported a stable Q1 FY26 with net sales up 0.1% YoY, but EBITDA surged 24.8% YoY driven by a favorable sales mix and operational efficiencies. The company's selective participation in higher-value segments and disciplined cost management expanded EBITDA margins by 250 bps YoY. PAT declined 2% due to a one-time depreciation correction of ₹8.8 crore, but excluding this, PAT grew 23.1%. Management highlighted strong momentum from sustainability initiatives and a swift pass-through of raw material cost inflation, with no margin impact expected. The company remains focused on profitable growth and disciplined capital allocation. A key risk is the volatile geopolitical situation impacting raw material costs and demand, though management believes they are well-positioned to navigate it.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Signed agreement for solar captive electricity project; expected to be operational in second half of FY26, reducing energy costs.
- Management reiterated strategy of selective participation in high-value segments, aiming for sustainable margin improvement.
Risks flagged
- Ongoing war has caused low-to-mid double digit raw material cost increases; while passed through so far, further volatility could impact margins if pass-through lags.
- Customers initially ordered more volumes due to panic, but demand is stabilizing; potential for demand correction if end-consumer demand weakens.
- Stock trades near book value with minimal institutional participation, limiting liquidity and valuation; management does not actively engage with investors.
Key quotes
- We are laser focused on profitable growth which is also our corporate strategy and that is the reason we are here.
- War is not good for anybody and from a standpoint of the business we are not profiteering from the war.
- I think we are on a solid ground now and gives us a lot of momentum for growth in future.
