The firm, in a statement, said its consolidated net sales value (NSV) growth is expected to be higher in the early thirties while the consolidated net revenue growth is likely to be in the late twenties, marking the highest growth in the last 12 quarters. “This strong performance came on the back of acceleration in the fashion vertical along with sustained strong performance of the beauty vertical,” Nykaa added.

With this, Nykaa’s consolidated NSV growth for the full year FY26 is expected to accelerate to the late twenties, up from mid-twenties growth seen in the last two years. Its net revenue for the financial year is expected to improve to the upper end of the mid-twenties, reflecting consistently healthy performance across all verticals.

The country's leading retailer of cosmetic products further said that its beauty vertical is likely to deliver gross merchandise value (GMV), net sales value (NSV) and net revenue growth in the late twenties, with net sales value slightly higher than the GMV and net revenue growth. GMV to NSV conversion has improved meaningfully, driven by funnel improvement across businesses. FSN also said that omnichannel performance remained strong and the House of Nykaa continued to grow faster, scaling well and contributing meaningfully to overall performance.
Nykaa said its retail network witnessed strong expansion during the quarter, with a record 26 new store openings and 11 Kiehl’s store integrations in Q4 FY26, marking its highest-ever quarterly additions. The company added that its total store count stood at 313 as of March 31, 2026.
The firm’s fashion vertical also demonstrated steady growth revival since the beginning of FY26. Nykaa expects this trajectory to strengthen further in Q4 FY26, with GMV growth in the late twenties and NSV growth tracking ahead in the early forties. The fashion vertical’s net revenue growth improved to late thirties, marking a sharp acceleration from the previous quarters.

“While we remain watchful of the evolving geopolitical landscape in West Asia, there has been no material impact this quarter. Middle East exposure is currently below 1% of overall revenue, given the business is in its early stages,” the company said.
