2-Min Summary
Mrs. Bectors reported Q3 FY26 revenue of INR 533.3 Cr (+8.4% YoY), with EBITDA margin expanding 44 bps to 12.8%. Biscuits grew 5.7% (impacted by GST 2.0 transition and US tariff uncertainty), while bakery (English Oven) delivered 13.2% growth led by strong brand momentum. PAT rose 10.1% to INR 38.1 Cr. Management guided for mid-teens revenue growth in FY27, driven by export recovery (US tariff cut from 50% to 18%), English Oven geographic expansion (Kolkata, Hyderabad, Capoli plant commissioning), and domestic biscuit improvement targeting low-teens growth. EBITDA margin is expected to reach 14% by H1 FY27. Key risk: export incentive suspension may take 4-5 months to fully offset via duty-free imports, pressuring near-term margins.
