Management commentary

“The year started with West Asia conflict, leading to a steep increase in cost of fuel and shipment charges across our domestic and international businesses, which we’ve been able to navigate well during this quarter delivering a healthy volume and value growth while also gaining ground against competition, with profits growing ahead of topline in double-digit over last year,” said Rakshit Hargave, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Britannia Industries.

He further said most key categories witnessed positive sequential momentum, with the company exiting the quarter with mid-teens revenue growth. Hargav attributed this performance to rapid scaling in e-commerce and robust growth in general trade.

He also added that the growth was supported by higher spending on advertisements, influencers, and promotions.

“While we continue to closely monitor the evolving geopolitical situation in West Asia and crude oil volatility for potential impact on international operations and domestic input costs, we will remain agile in our actions to deliver healthy, sustainable revenue growth amidst an improving domestic demand environment, driven by sharp innovation, strong brand investments, and disciplined margin management through accelerated cost efficiency initiatives,” Hargave said.
