Marico Reports 0.7% Profit Decline in Q2 FY26 Amidst Input Cost Headwinds
Marico, a company that makes everyday products like hair oil and cooking oil, released its financial report for the last three months.
Their profit went down just a tiny bit, by less than 1%, compared to the same time last year.
Even though they made a little less profit, the total amount of money they earned from selling their products actually went up by a good amount.
Their business in India grew by 7% in terms of how many products they sold, and their business in other countries grew even more.
However, one of their popular products, Parachute Rigids hair oil, saw fewer people buying it because the cost of a key ingredient went up a lot.
Other products like hair oils and food items did well, and their online businesses are growing fast.
The company expects things to get better in the future as prices for their ingredients might stabilize.
Marico reported a consolidated net profit of ₹420 crore for Q2 FY26, a 0.7% decrease from ₹423 crore in the same period last year.
Revenue from operations increased by 30% to ₹3,482 crore in Q2 FY26.
The company achieved 7% underlying volume growth in its India business.
International business demonstrated strong constant currency growth of 20%.
Marico anticipates steady growth in core categories, expecting consumer sentiment to improve as inflation eases.
