Sudhir Sitapati, managing director, and CEO, GCPL, said: “We delivered a sequentially improving performance in Q4 FY 2025, despite market conditions remaining the same.

Our Consolidated organic volumes for Q4 FY25 grew by 6%, led by the India business growing volumes at 4% and Indonesia growing volumes at 5%. This led to full-year organic volume growth delivery at 4% for our consolidated business, 5% for India and 6% for Indonesia. Our Consolidated organic revenue growth for Q4 and FY 2025 stood at 7% and 4%, respectively.

Demand conditions in India have continued to be impacted by headwinds in urban consumption. Surge in palm oil prices by more than 50% is negatively impacting our EBITDA margin. Our reported Standalone EBITDA margin at 22.6% is lower than our normative margin.

However, buoyed by a good season, we had a blockbuster performance in Household Insecticides which grew volumes in strong double digit. Our categories of Air Fresheners, Laundry Liquids, etc. have continued to deliver strong underlying volume growth.

This helped deliver 4% volume growth on top of a 4% pricing growth led largely by soaps. The volume growth on the non-soaps’ portfolio was high single digit with soaps volume growth impacted by volume-price rebalancing.

In Indonesia, we continue to consistently deliver healthy performance with 5% volume growth and EBITDA margin expansion.

In organic terms, Africa, USA and the Middle East sales grew by a strong 23% in INR terms and delivered 17% EBITDA margin resulting in the fifth consecutive quarter of profit and margin expansion.

We are on track in our journey to reduce wasted cost and are deploying this to drive profitable and sustainable volume growth across our portfolio through category development."
