Britannia Share Price Dips 2%; Revenue Rises 9.8% YoY in Q1 FY26 Results

Britannia Industries Ltd reported consolidated revenue of ₹4,535 crore for Q1 FY26, marking a healthy 9.8% year-on-year (YoY) growth.

The company continues to strengthen its leadership in the FMCG space, backed by resilient consumption in core categories and expansion in adjacent businesses. Over a 24-month period, revenue growth stood at an impressive 14.2%.

Profitability Trends

Profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at ₹521 crore, reflecting a modest 3.0% YoY growth. This represents 11.5% of total revenue. Despite a flat operational environment, Britannia maintained its profitability, with a profit before tax (PBT) of ₹701 crore, up 2.9% from the previous year.

However, operating profit slightly declined by 0.7% YoY to ₹675 crore, hinting at margin pressures, possibly due to input cost volatility.

Commenting on the performance, Mr. Varun Berry, Executive Vice-Chairman, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our performance during the quarter underscores the effectiveness of our focused execution strategy, which entailed maximizing value from existing outlets, enabling more agile servicing to key stores, and driving operational efficiencies across our extensive distribution network, leading to a growth of ~10% in sales along with robust double-digit growth across our four focus states and in adjacent bakery categories such as Rusk, Wafers, and Croissant. Marginal uptick in consumption across both urban and rural markets — underpinned by moderating inflation, helped us go back to doubledigit growth after the last few periods.”

He further added, “Continuing our journey of premiumization through innovations, exciting new launches across our premium biscuit portfolio, such as the Pure Magic range, Crafted Cookies under Good Day enriched our offerings to consumers while we continued building our core brands through focused media and marketing interventions. As the year progresses, our focus will remain on sustaining a healthy growth trajectory while protecting margins amidst a heightened competitive landscape across product categories. We aim to further reinforce our market leadership through continued investments in brand building and innovations”

Outlook and Strategic Priorities

Looking ahead, Britannia remains focused on enhancing consumption in its core biscuit and bakery categories while boosting distribution reach in adjacent segments such as dairy and snacking.

The company also emphasised its close monitoring of policy interventions and agricultural output, given their direct impact on commodity prices. The cautious stance on cost management reflects Britannia’s readiness to navigate future market uncertainties.
