Huhtamaki India reported Q1 2026 results with stable net sales (up 0.1% YoY to ₹5,936.3 million) while EBITDA surged 24.8% YoY to ₹620.8 million, with EBITDA margin expanding to 10.5% from 8.4% in Q1 2025. The margin improvement was driven by favorable sales mix, operational efficiencies, and higher interest income. However, one-off non-recurring charges and a prior-period depreciation adjustment of ₹88 million partially offset gains. PBT excluding exceptional items rose 2.9% YoY while EPS excluding exceptional items declined slightly by 20bps. Management highlighted focus on profitable growth, disciplined capital allocation, and stronger accountability going forward.
The strong EBITDA margin expansion indicates improved operational performance despite flat revenue growth. Shareholders may view the margin improvement positively, though the EPS decline and one-off charges warrant caution. The company is prioritizing profitable growth over volume, which could be viewed as a quality-focused strategy.
