Patanjali Foods Q3 FY26 Earnings: FMCG company Patanjali Foods — part of the yoga guru Ramdev-led Patanjali group — on Wednesday reported a net profit of Rs 593 crore for the quarter ended December 31, marking an increase of 60 per cent over the corresponding quarter a year ago. The edible oil maker staged a weak performance on the operational front.
The FMCG firm’s fiscal third-quarter revenue came in at a record Rs 10,483.7 crore, marking a rise over its revenue of Rs 8,996.9 crore a year ago, according to a regulatory filing.
The surge in Patanjali Foods’ net profit was on account of a tax credit of Rs 317 crore.
The company logged Rs 435 crore in its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBTIDA). That marked a 22 per cent fall from the year-ago period.
Its margin — a key measure of profitability — stood at 4.1 per cent for Q3 FY26, shrinking from 6.2 per cent a year ago.
The company said that the value growth gap widened in November with growth in its urban FMCG value at 2.5 per cent verusus rural growth at 5.7 per cent.
What drove strong revenue growth at Patanjali Foods?
The company said that its robust revenue growth was aided by the following:
- Stable demand trends
- Effective pricing strategies
- Continued focus on scale and distribution efficiencies
Segment-wise revenue growth
Patanjali Foods clinched growth of 9.0 per cent in its edible oil revenue to Rs 7,335.7 crore for the December quarter.
FMCG revenue jumped 38.9 per cent to Rs 3,248.4 crore, it noted.
Revenue from its wind turbine power generation unit, however, fell 30.5 per cent to Rs 4.3 crore.
The company noted that its “strongest positive” is its FMCG acceleration. The FMCG segment contributes more than 30 per cent of Patanjali Foods’ revenue.
The edible oil business, said the company, continues to provide leadership on a scale, delivering Rs 7,336 crore in quarterly revenue with an EBITDA margin of 2.39 per cent. Around 85 per cent of the segment’s sales came from branded oils, reinforcing the shift toward higher-quality, brand-driven growth even amid commodity volatility — supported by brand investments and expanding distribution, according to the firm.
Business outlook | Patanjali Foods ‘well positioned to navigate near-term volatility’
The company said that momentum extended into a second straight quarter, with an unprecedented quarterly top line.
Patanjali Foods said it delivered healthy topline growth despite industry-wide challenges, including global commodity price volatility, rupee-dollar currency fluctuations and broader macroeconomic pressure.
“With a strong market position, robust balance sheet and focus on long-term value creation Patanjali Foods Limited is well positioned to navigate near-term volatility and capitalise on growth opportunities in the evolving FMCG landscape. The company continues to strengthen its fundaments through operational efficiencies, backward integration and disciplined cost management,” said Patanjali Foods.
Earlier on Wednesday, the stock declined 0.1 per cent to close at Rs 522 apiece on BSE.
At this level, Patanjali Foods shares have fallen 5.7 per cent so far this year, worse than a 0.7 per cent decline in the Nifty 50.
