Hindustan Foods held its 40th AGM on September 23, 2025, where the Chairman highlighted the company's strong FY 2024-25 performance with consolidated revenues of ₹3,579 crore (up 30% YoY), EBITDA of ₹308 crore (up 34%), and profit after tax of ₹110 crore (up 18%). The company now operates 28 manufacturing facilities across India with a workforce of nearly 10,000. Key growth moves include re-entering the footwear business with five new units in North India (adding 4,500 employees), expanding ice cream capacity in Lucknow and Nashik, scaling beverages in Mysuru and Guwahati, and acquiring a beverage unit in Odisha. Net worth stands at ₹891 crore with a healthy debt-to-equity ratio of 0.79x. The Chairman also flagged the rollout of the HFL ESOP Scheme 2025 and a proposed investment in Kabadiwala for waste management.
The speech reinforces a positive growth narrative with strong topline and EBITDA expansion, supported by diversification across FMCG, footwear, beverages, and OTC pharma. For shareholders, this signals confidence in multi-vertical scaling, though profitability growth at 18% lagged revenue and EBITDA growth, suggesting near-term margin pressure from integration costs in newer businesses.
