Whirlpool India Q1 Profit Falls 29.4% Despite 12% Revenue Growth
Whirlpool is a company that makes home appliances like washing machines and refrigerators.
This quarter, the company made less money than it did last year.
Even though it sold more products, its profit still went down by a lot.
That happened because the materials needed to make the appliances cost more than before.
Paying workers and running the business also became more expensive.
So sales went up by 12 percent, but costs went up even faster.
The company's profit fell by almost a third compared with the same time last year.
When people heard this news, the company's stock price dropped a little.
Making more sales is good, but what matters in the end is how much money is left after paying all the bills.
Whirlpool of India's consolidated net profit fell 29.4% to Rs 103 crore in Q1 FY27 from Rs 146 crore a year earlier.
Revenue from operations rose 12% year-on-year to Rs 2,727 crore from Rs 2,432 crore.
EBITDA dropped 34% to Rs 140 crore, with the margin narrowing to 5% from 8.7%.
Total expenses climbed to Rs 2,656.9 crore, driven by higher raw material, employee and other operating costs.
Whirlpool India shares ended 1.4% lower at Rs 809 on Wednesday after falling nearly 5% in early trading.
