Marico's Board approved audited consolidated results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. Full-year revenue from operations grew 25.7% to Rs. 13,611 crore from Rs. 10,831 crore in the prior year. Net profit after tax increased 9.3% to Rs. 1,813 crore from Rs. 1,658 crore. Basic EPS stood at Rs. 13.62 vs Rs. 12.59 a year ago. Statutory auditors B S R & Co. LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on both standalone and consolidated results. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 4.00 per equity share (face value Re. 1), subject to shareholder approval at the 38th AGM on August 6, 2026, with record date July 30, 2026. During the year, Marico made multiple acquisitions (True Elements, Plix, Zea Maize/4700BC, Cosmix) which are reflected in the results from their respective effective dates.
Revenue growth of ~26% significantly exceeds the 20% threshold, signalling strong operational performance. PAT grew at a more modest ~9%, reflecting investment in acquisitions and higher costs. The clean audit opinion removes any immediate concerns about financial reporting quality. The dividend and acquisitions suggest a growth-oriented capital allocation strategy.
