The company's total income stood at Rs. 1,48,157 lakh, down 2.06% from Rs. 1,51,266 lakh in Q4 FY24. Despite stable expense management-total expenses rose marginally by 0.26% to Rs. 1,00,395 lakh profitability took a hit. Profit before tax (PBT) dropped 6.60% year-on-year to Rs. 47,762 lakh, while net profit (PAT) came in at Rs. 35,500 lakh, marking a 6.53% decline from Rs. 37,982 lakh in the corresponding quarter last year.

The EBITDA margin for the quarter stood at approximately 34.83%, slightly lower than the 36.59% margin recorded in the same period last year. The dip in EBITDA and margin indicates pressure on operational efficiency, likely due to marginally higher expenses and a modest decline in revenue.

Despite cost controls in key areas, the overall operating performance was impacted by a challenging demand environment and elevated competitive activity in the personal care and oral hygiene segments.
