Bikaji Foods Q2: Net profit, revenue grow over 15% despite September GST hiccup

Bikaji Foods International Ltd on Tuesday, November 11, posted 15.5% year-on-year growth in net profit at ₹79.7 crore for the second quarter that ended September 30, 2025. Net profit for the same quarter last year stood at ₹69 crore.

It reported ₹814.9 crore in revenue from operations, up 15.9% over last year and 24.9% over the previous quarter. Revenue in the same quarter last year stood at ₹703.4 crore while the June quarter reported ₹652.6-crore revenue.

The company further informed that revenue

from retail segment grew 279.5% from the year-ago quarter while store count grew from just five in Q2FY25 to 21 in the second quarter of the current fiscal year.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew 25.6% from last year to ₹112.7 crore, while the EBITDA margin improved by 110 basis points to 13.8% from 12.7% a year earlier.

Bikaji Foods weathered temporary headwinds in September due to distributor de-stocking ahead of GST rate revision, the management stated, adding that demand has since normalised.

"This led to a short-term impact in our core states, despite strong performance in the first two months of the quarter. Excluding this one-time impact, the salty snacks business would have achieved high single-digit growth, reflecting sustained category momentum," the company said.

Bikaji Foods shares ended at ₹721 apiece on the BSE today, November 11, up 1.9%.
