However, turnover declined year-on-year due to transitory impact of GST rate rationalisation. Skin Care, including Colour Cosmetics, grew in high-single digit driven by continued momentum in Future Core and Market Makers portfolio, and a well-executed winter loading ahead of the season. Channels of the Future maintained its competitive, doubledigit growth trajectory. Health & Wellbeing sustained strong momentum, led by OZiva’s triple-digit growth. During the quarter, Pond’s Hydra Miracle Ultralight Biome moisturiser, offering advanced hydration and microbiome benefits, Vaseline Cloud Soft, specially formulated for Indian facial skin, and OZiva Phyto Ceramides + Collagen Builder, a science-backed ingestible skincare supplement that helps restore skin barrier and boost collagen, were launched.

Foods: Double-digit growth in Beverages supported overall performance amid softness in Ice Cream and Lifestyle Nutrition

Foods delivered 3% USG with low-single digit UVG. Beverages (Tea and Coffee) grew in double-digits. Tea saw high-single digit growth driven by a healthy mix of price and volume. Coffee sustained its strong double-digit growth momentum. Early green shoots were observed through sustained UVG in Lifestyle Nutrition. However, turnover declined, driven by pricing actions taken in previous quarters to refine pack-price architecture. Packaged Foods delivered a subdued performance amid GST transition. Market Makers continued its robust growth momentum. Ice Cream turnover declined year-on-year on account of prolonged monsoons in parts of the country and GST transition. The quarter saw the launch of Horlicks PRO Fitness, a science-backed meal replacement solution and BRU Gold Edition for a premium coffee experience for consumers.

Q2 Results Live Updates: Priya Nair, CEO and Managing Director, on September quarter earnings, commented, "We delivered a competitive performance with an Underlying Sales Growth of 2% and an EBITDA margin of 23.2% in the quarter. The latest GST reforms are a positive step by the Government to drive consumption, expected to increase disposable income and improve consumer sentiment. However, the quarter saw a transitory impact as the market adjusted to these changes. We anticipate normal trading conditions starting early November, once prices stabilise, paving the way for a gradual and sustained market recovery."

"Looking ahead, we are determined to accelerate our portfolio transformation by radically sharpening our consumer segmentation, being bolder in transforming our core brands to make them more modern, desirable and youthful, future-proofing our marketing & sales capabilities by enabling superior online brand discovery & fulfillment and investing disproportionately to scale our high-growth demand spaces. We believe these key priorities, coupled with a supportive macroeconomic environment, will position us to accelerate volume-led growth in the mid-to-long term," she added.
