The company’s revenue from operations rose 4% to ₹846 crore in the September quarter, as against ₹811 crore registered in the year-ago period.

The personal care firm said the balanced and broad-based growth was driven by the strength of its strategic portfolio, meaningful innovation that addresses evolving consumer needs, and superior retail execution across channels.

Gillette’s operating profit, also known as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA), jumped 9% to ₹227 crore as compared to ₹208 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.

For the quarter under review, its EBITDA margin contracted to 26.83% in contrast to 25.65% in Q2 FY26.

For half a year (H1 FY27), Gillette India’ net profit stood at ₹319 crore as compared to ₹289 crore on a YoY basis, marking a growth of 10%. Its revenue from operations for H1 FY27 surged 7% to ₹1,629 crore as against ₹1,518 crore in H1 FY26.

The first half of FY 2026–27 has been defined by bold innovation across the vectors of superiority.

The company further said that for the quarter, profitability was impacted by significant commodity headwinds. However, Gillette has been able to leverage its robust productivity program to mitigate the headwinds and deliver profitable growth.

“Our consistent delivery of balanced growth quarter on quarter is a true reflection of the strength of our integrated growth strategy, and the exceptional execution of these strategies by our people. This consistency is also reflected in our innovation – both in terms of our propositions as well as how we engage with consumers,” said Kumar Venkatasubramanian, Managing Director, Gillette India.

He added, “Our integrated growth strategy is anchored in a focused portfolio, superiority (of product performance, packaging, brand communication, retail execution and value), productivity, constructive disruption and an empowered, agile organisation.”

The company’s power oral care business delivered strong results, growing double digits, driven by superior execution of strategies and the launch of Oral B iO2.
