Homegrown FMCG firm Emami Ltd on Thursday reported an 11.72 per cent decline in consolidated profit after tax at Rs 143.17 crore in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026, impacted by unfavourable seasonal conditions affecting the summer portfolio, along with <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/west-asia-conflict-islamic-revolutionary-guard-corps-warns-us-israel-against-renewed-military-action-on-iran-23631462" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">geopolitical disruptions in West Asia</a>.
The company had posted a consolidated profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 162.17 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal, Emami Ltd said in a regulatory filing.
Consolidated revenue from operations in the fourth quarter stood at Rs 925.1 crore as compared to Rs 963.05 crore in the year-ago period, it added. Total expenses in the quarter under review were at Rs 738.4 crore as against Rs 743.61 crore in the same period a year ago, the company said.
International business declined by 5 per cent during the quarter, primarily on account of the West Asia conflict, which impacted shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, disrupted supply chains and increased freight costs, it added.
"Q4FY26 was impacted by temporary external headwinds, including unfavourable seasonal conditions affecting the summer portfolio and geopolitical disruptions in West Asia, which weighed on overall business performance during the quarter," Emami Vice-Chairman and MD Harsha V Agarwal said.
Despite these challenges, he said, "The resilience of our core domestic business remained evident, with the non-summer portfolio delivering healthy 11 per cent growth. Our international business also maintained strong momentum through most of the quarter before geopolitical developments in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/imf-monitors-west-asia-conflict-impact-india-says-energy-supplies-robust-8-weeks-of-crude-stock-23619171" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">West Asia impacted operations</a> in March."
Terming the challenges as a passing phase rather than a structural concern, Emami said it expects business momentum to improve progressively in the coming quarters.
In FY26, consolidated PAT stood at Rs 775.26 crore as against Rs 802.74 crore in FY25, while revenue from operations was at Rs 3,779.51 crore as compared to Rs 3,809.19 crore in FY25, the company said.
During FY26, the board of directors declared interim dividends aggregating to Rs 10 per share, amounting to a total payout of Rs 436.5 crore, it said.
On the outlook, Emami Ltd Vice Chairman and Whole-Time Director, Mohan Goenka, said, "We are encouraged by the early trends in Q1FY27, particularly across the summer portfolio, supported by expanded distribution, focused media investments and stronger <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/business/business-news/article/stock-market-updates-sensex-and-nifty-turn-volatile-amid-rising-crude-oil-prices-23626579" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">trade activation</a>."
