✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Emami's Q2 FY26 consolidated revenue fell 10% YoY to ₹799 crore, with domestic business declining 15% due to GST rate cut disruptions, heavy rains impacting summer portfolio, and deferred winter loading. EBITDA dropped 29% to ₹179 crore and PAT fell 30% to ₹148 crore, though gross margins held at 71%. Management attributed the weakness to temporary trade destocking and a high base for talc/prickly heat powders. Encouragingly, non-GST impacted categories like Jandu Cough Syrup (+43%) and Honey (+36%) grew strongly, and strategic investments rebounded 16% YoY. October saw a healthy recovery in trade, and management expects high single-digit to double-digit growth in H2, driven by winter seasonality and GST normalization. Key risks include delayed winter onset and slower-than-expected volume elasticity from price cuts.
