What is the story about?
Eureka Forbes Ltd
reported a steady March quarter performance on May 19, with revenue growth remaining healthy across categories even as the company continued to focus on premiumisation, emerging businesses and service expansion.
Net profit for the quarter rose 3% year-on-year to ₹51 crore from ₹49.5 crore, while pre-exceptional profit after tax increased 3.9% to ₹51.1 crore.
Revenue for the quarter grew 11.6% year-on-year, driven by double-digit growth in water purifiers and continued momentum in emerging categories. The company said the products business also delivered healthy double-digit growth during the quarter.
EBITDA rose 11.3% year-on-year to ₹85.8 crore from ₹77 crore, while EBITDA margin remained broadly flat at 12.5%. Adjusted EBITDA margin, however, touched a record high of 13.2%, according to the company.
Eureka Forbes said service business momentum also remained strong, with double-digit growth in service bookings during the quarter.
Managing Director and CEO Pratik Pota said the company closed FY26 with a “strong quarter and a solid full-year performance despite a challenging external environment”. He added that growth remained broad-based across categories, channels and geographies, while customer experience metrics continued to improve.
The company highlighted that water purifiers posted double-digit growth during the quarter, while robotics continued its strong performance backed by omni-channel expansion. Air purifier revenue also scaled fourfold year-on-year, albeit on a lower base.
Eureka Forbes said it continued investing behind transformation initiatives, with FY26 capital expenditure rising 53% year-on-year to ₹84 crore. The company also implemented calibrated price hikes of up to 10% from April 1, 2026.
Shares of Eureka Forbes fell to an intraday low of ₹480 after the results announcement before recovering some losses to trade largely flat later in the session.
