Hindustan Foods Limited reported record FY26 performance with total income of INR4,264 crores (+17% YoY), EBITDA of INR377 crores (+20%) and PAT of INR149 crores (+29%). Q4 was the strongest quarterly performance in the company's history with PAT of INR41.5 crores (+32%). The company completed its largest-ever capex cycle (INR700+ crores in FY26), taking gross block to INR1,800 crores with a target of INR2,150 crores by FY27. New projects worth ~INR150 crores were signed for FY27 (beverages, HPC, ice cream). The footwear division faced headwinds from a ~50-60% surge in petrochemical prices due to geopolitical conditions, though the company reiterated its FY27 PAT guidance of INR200-220 crores (+34-47%), expecting compensatory growth from other segments. Working capital was impacted by GST inverted duty structure and proactive inventory buildup. Net debt-to-equity stood at 0.84x with adjusted ROCE of 18.9%.
The company delivered ahead-of-schedule capex ramp-up and record profitability despite macro headwinds, building investor confidence in the INR200-220 crores FY27 PAT target — a 34-47% jump — driven by operating leverage from newly commissioned assets across ice cream, beverages and HPC.
