LT Foods posted Q4 FY25 revenue of Rs. 2,260 crores, up 8% YoY, with EBITDA at Rs. 290 crores (up 11%) and PAT at Rs. 161 crores (up 7%). For the full year, revenue grew 12% to Rs. 8,770 crores, but EBITDA margin dipped marginally by 40 bps to 12.2% despite a 200 bps gross margin expansion to 34.5%, due to higher logistics, advertising, and UK capex-related admin costs. Management guided FY26 revenue of Rs. 10,000 crores (with 49% balance integration) and targeted ~13% EBITDA margin, supported by 7% volume growth and 9-10% volume growth in India basmati. The company announced a proposed acquisition of Global Green Group (canned food, ~€40 million revenue) for around Rs. 200 crores, partly equity and partly debt. CAPEX guidance is Rs. 340 crores for warehousing and a US RTH facility. Management noted India basmati market share improved from 21% to 27% over five years, and Royal brand holds 55%+ share in the US.
Positive for shareholders: management reaffirmed margin recovery, gave clear FY26 revenue and margin targets, and the new acquisition adds a growth vertical. However, near-term margins may stay flat as the 10% US tariff will be absorbed via lower raw material costs rather than price hikes, and ad spends are set to rise further.
