Gillette India Limited reported strong audited financial results for FY2026 (12 months ended March 31, 2026). Revenue from operations grew 38.7% to Rs 3,09,953 Lakhs from Rs 2,23,484 Lakhs in the prior 9-month period (FY change from June to March year-end explains period difference). Profit before tax jumped 58.9% to Rs 88,034 Lakhs, while profit after tax rose 56.7% to Rs 65,431 Lakhs. EPS for the year stands at Rs 200.80 compared to Rs 128.17 for the prior 9-month period. EBITDA margin expanded to approximately 28.4% from 24.8% in the prior period. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs 60 per equity share (aggregating Rs 19,551 Lakhs), payable on or before September 18, 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the 42nd AGM. Statutory auditors Kalyaniwalla & Mistry LLP issued an unmodified opinion, confirming clean financial statements.
Strong double-digit revenue and profit growth with margin expansion indicates robust business performance. The generous dividend payout signals confidence in cash generation, though the large dividend (Rs 73,968 Lakhs paid in FY26) reflects cash outflow. Positive operating cash flow of Rs 60,664 Lakhs demonstrates quality of earnings.
