2-Min Summary
Godrej Consumer Products delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated revenue growth of 11% YoY and EBITDA margin of 21.7%. India standalone posted 8% volume growth and 10% sales growth with margins at 24.7%, driven by home care (12% growth) and disciplined cost management. Personal care lagged at 3% growth due to muted soaps and hair color. Indonesia showed signs of stabilization with 4% volume growth, while Africa, USA, and Middle East grew 20%. Management expects near-term margin pressure from crude oil inflation (7-9% input cost inflation) but remains confident in volume recovery and pricing actions. Key risk: sustained crude above $110 could compress margins more than anticipated.
