Hatsun Agro Q4 profit rises 18% despite margin pressure; dividend declared

Hatsun Agro Product Ltd reported a steady March quarter performance on May 19, with revenue and profit registering double-digit growth despite moderation in operating margins.

Net profit for the quarter rose 18.3% year-on-year to ₹51 crore from ₹43 crore in the corresponding period last year. Revenue increased 14.9% to ₹2,577.6 crore from ₹2,242.9 crore, supported by continued demand across dairy and allied product categories.

EBITDA rose 4.8% year-on-year to ₹235.3 crore from ₹224.5 crore. However, EBITDA margin narrowed to 9.1% from 10% a year earlier, indicating pressure from input and operating costs.

The company’s board declared an interim dividend of ₹10 per equity share of face value Re 1 each for FY27, marking the first interim dividend for the financial year. Hatsun Agro has fixed May 26, 2026 as the record date for the dividend, which will be paid on or before June 17, 2026.

Ahead of the earnings announcement, shares of Hatsun Agro Product closed 2.7% higher at ₹946.90 on the NSE.
