✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Dabur's Q2 FY26 consolidated revenue grew 5.4% YoY, with India FMCG up 5.7% and international business up 7.7% in INR terms. Operating profit and PAT grew ahead of revenue at 6.4% and 6.5% respectively, supported by price increases and cost savings. The quarter was disrupted by the GST rate cut announcement, which caused a temporary trade destocking impact of ~INR 100 crore (3-4% of sales). HVC portfolio grew 8.9%, Fitkari portfolio 14%, and Honey 28%, while beverages remained flat due to weather. Management guided for mid-to-high single-digit revenue growth in H2, backed by winter season tailwinds, GST benefits, and rural recovery. Key risks include lingering GST transition effects in October, potential US tariffs, and geopolitical issues in Nepal.
दबूर की दूसरी तिमाही (Q2 FY26) में कुल कमाई पिछले साल से 5.4% बढ़ी। भारत में एफएमसीजी कारोबार 5.7% और अंतरराष्ट्रीय कारोबार 7.7% बढ़ा। कंपनी का मुनाफा कमाई से ज्यादा बढ़ा - ऑपरेटिंग मुनाफा 6.4% और कुल मुनाफा 6.5% बढ़ा, क्योंकि कीमतें बढ़ाई गईं और लागत बचाई गई। जीएसटी दर कटौती की घोषणा से तिमाही में अस्थायी रूप से करीब 100 करोड़ रुपये का स्टॉक घटा (बिक्री का 3-4%)। हर्बल उत्पादों की बिक्री 8.9%, फिटकरी 14% और शहद 28% बढ़ी, जबकि पेय पदार्थ मौसम के कारण स्थिर रहे। कंपनी को सर्दी, जीएसटी लाभ और गांवों में सुधार से दूसरी छमाही में 5-9% कमाई बढ़ने की उम्मीद है। जोखिमों में अक्टूबर में जीएसटी का बचा असर, अमेरिकी टैरिफ और नेपाल में राजनीतिक मुद्दे शामिल हैं।
