Marico Delivers Double-Digit Growth Despite Input Cost Pressures

In the June 2025 quarter, Marico, the leading consumer goods company, delivered a strong financial performance. The company reported a 9% year-on-year increase in its consolidated net profit attributable to the owners, reaching ₹504 crore. This growth was driven by double-digit international expansion and price-led gains in its domestic portfolio.

Marico's consolidated revenue from operations surged by 23% year-on-year to ₹3,259 crore, compared to ₹2,643 crore in the same period a year ago. The company's India business contributed ₹2,495 crore in revenue, a 27% increase over the previous year, aided by price hikes in its core portfolios to offset sharp inflation in input costs.

While Marico's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose by 5% to ₹655 crore, its EBITDA margin narrowed to 20.1% from 23.7% a year earlier, reflecting the impact of elevated raw material prices. However, the company's international business remained resilient, maintaining its robust double-digit constant currency growth momentum despite the challenges of high input costs and currency headwinds in select markets.

Looking ahead, Marico expects a gradual uptick in overall demand patterns in the quarters ahead, aided by a combination of easing inflation levels, a favorable monsoon season, and continued policy support. The company aims to sustain positive volume and revenue growth through fiscal year 2026 while delivering resilient profit growth amidst heightened input cost pressures.
