✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Emami delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with consolidated revenue of ₹1,152 crore (+11% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹384 crore (+13% YoY), with margins expanding 110 bps to 33.4%. Domestic volume growth was robust at 9%, led by Boro Plus (+16%) and Kesh King (+10%). The GST transition to a 5% slab for 88% of the portfolio is driving rural recovery, with management targeting double-digit growth. Quick commerce doubled its e-com contribution to 20%, and organized channels now account for 32% of sales. The tax rate is set to decline to ~25% from FY27. However, a weak summer season last year and cautious trade inventory ahead of summer remain near-term risks.
