Gillette India Ltd. on Monday, May 26 announced its results for the March quarter (Q4 FY25) and the stock recorded an intraday surge of as much as 11% as its investor community cheered the stellar set of numbers.

The company reported a consolidated net profit of ₹159 crore for the quarter, up 61% year on year against ₹99 crore in similar quarter for last year. Revenue from operations was at ₹767.5 crore, 12.7% higher than ₹681 crore reported in the March quarter of FY24, led by strong demand in the grooming category.

EBITDA for the quarter increased 39% y-o-y to ₹225.8 crore on better operating metrics and robust topline performance. EBITDA margins increased by 600bps to 29.42% in Q4:18 from 23.73% in Q4 FY25; reflecting strong cost management and improved product mix.

The firm said the increase was largely due to the grooming category, which it said remains the largest ‘revenue-generating’ category in its product profile. The continued strong performance is attributed to the successful delivery of Gillette India’s integrated strategy, said Gillette India’s MD V Kumar, who added that the company remained focused on sustainable growth.

The Directors declared a final dividend of ₹47 per share on the year ending March 31, 25, to be paid between September 3 and September 30, 25 to shareholders on the company’s register.

The strong post-results stock rally reflects the positive market sentiment in the company’s ability to deliver profit and margin growth in a competitive FMCG market. Gillette (India), a P&G company, is still leading the men’s toiletry market in India due to research and development, strength of brand and sound professionalism.
