Britannia Industries on Tuesday, August 5, reported a 2.96% year-on-year (YoY) increase in its consolidated net profit to ₹521 crore in the first quarter of the 2025-26 financial year (Q1FY26). In the corresponding period a year ago, its profit stood at ₹506 crore.

The food product company's revenue from operations surged 8.75% YoY to ₹4,622 crore during the quarter under review, compared to ₹4,250 crore in the June FY25 quarter.

Its net sales stood at ₹4,535 crore in Q1FY26, marking a 9.8% YoY jump from ₹4,130 crore in the year-ago period.

At an operational level, the firm's EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation) rose 5.7% YoY to ₹669 crore in the June quarter of FY26, as against ₹633 crore in Q1FY25.

Its EBITDA margin contracted to 14.77% during the reporting quarter, from 15.34% in the same period last fiscal year.

Commenting on the earnings, Varun Berry, Executive Vice-Chairman, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of Britannia, said: “Our performance during the quarter underscores the effectiveness of our focused execution strategy, which entailed maximizing value from existing outlets, enabling more agile servicing to key stores, and driving operational efficiencies across our extensive distribution network, leading to a growth of ~10% in sales along with robust double-digit growth across our four focus states and in adjacent bakery categories such as Rusk, Wafers, and Croissant."

A marginal increase in consumption across urban and rural markets, underpinned by moderating inflation, helped Britannia get double-digit growth after the last two quarters, he said.

"Continuing our journey of premiumization through innovations, exciting new launches across our premium biscuit portfolio, such as the Pure Magic range, Crafted Cookies under Good Day, enriched our offerings to consumers while we continued building our core brands through focused media and marketing interventions," Berry added.

The company will focus on sustaining a healthy growth trajectory while protecting margins amid a heightened competitive landscape across product categories over the remained of FY26, he stated.

"We aim to further reinforce our market leadership through continued investments in brand building and innovations,” Berry said.
