Jyothy Labs reported Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹717 crore, up 7.7% YoY, driven by strong volume growth of 17.8% in fabric care and 20% in personal care. However, EBITDA margin contracted 330 bps to 13.5% due to sharp input cost inflation (crude-linked raw materials up 60-65%) and lower realizations from competitive pricing and grammage increases. Management highlighted near-term margin pressure and declined to provide FY27 guidance. The company took selective price hikes of ~4% in March, with full impact expected from Q2. Key risks include sustained crude price volatility and inability to fully pass on costs in a competitive environment. The household insecticides segment is nearing breakeven, with liquid vaporizer now 55% of the portfolio.
