Emami’s Q1FY27 revenue rose about 15% to Rs 1,039 crore, led by 20% domestic growth, but net profit fell 16.4% to Rs 137 crore. Organised channels grew 19%, while quick commerce contributed 35% of e-commerce sales.

Emami reported Q1FY27 profit decline despite 15% revenue growth, as crude-linked inputs, packaging inflation and higher promotional spending compressed margins. Domestic revenue rose 20%, while organised retail and quick commerce strengthened their contribution to sales.

Why this matters

The margin decline follows Emami’s Q1 signal on 15% revenue growth driven by acquisitions and organised channels. Emami is also targeting 25% of turnover from new-age brands by FY30.
