What Management Said
Sudhir Sitapati, Managing Director and CEO of Godrej Consumer Products, said Q1FY27 marked a strong start to the year, with consolidated revenue growing 19% YoY and underlying volume growth at 9%. EBITDA grew 14%, with margins at 19%, while net profit increased 11%.
He said the performance was supported by an exceptional showing in Africa, strong growth in India and a return to stable growth in Indonesia. The company continued to face elevated input costs and volatility in crude and other commodities amid geopolitical developments.
Sitapati added that underlying volume growth strengthened sequentially to 9%, reflecting broad-based momentum across geographies and categories. The company's "speed boats" — Godrej Fab, GK Incense Sticks and Godrej Aer globally — continued to grow strongly and are becoming increasingly meaningful contributors to the business.
