Colgate-Palmolive India Q1 Results FY27: Net Profit Rises 7% To ₹343 Crore, Revenue Up 12%; Shares Gain

Colgate-Palmolive India Q1 Results FY27: Colgate-Palmolive India on Wednesday reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27) during market hours, with both revenue and profit increasing from a year ago as demand for its oral care products remained steady.

The FMCG company posted a consolidated net profit of ₹343 crore for the April-June quarter, up 7% from ₹321 crore in the corresponding period last year.

Revenue from operations rose 12% year-on-year to ₹1,591 crore, compared with ₹1,421 crore in the year-ago quarter, supported by growth across its oral care portfolio. The company said innovation remained a focus during the quarter with product launches across categories, while the toothpaste business recorded robust high-single-digit volume growth.

Operating performance also improved during the quarter. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased 7% to ₹470 crore from ₹440 crore a year ago. EBITDA margin, however, narrowed to 29.52% from 30.94%, indicating that operating costs grew faster than earnings despite the increase in revenue.

The earnings were announced during market hours. Following the results, Colgate-Palmolive India shares traded higher. At around 2:00 pm IST, the stock was up 1.02% at ₹2,160 on the National Stock Exchange.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Prabha Narasimhan said the company delivered another quarter of broad-based growth, with the toothpaste portfolio continuing to outperform.

"Our toothpaste portfolio achieved robust high-single-digit volume growth, driven by stellar performance in premium toothpaste alongside sustained growth in our core portfolio," she said.

She added that Colgate-Palmolive India continued to benefit from cost-saving measures under its Funding the Growth programme, which helped maintain margins while allowing the company to step up investments in brand building and premiumisation.

Referring to the business outlook, Narasimhan said the company remains focused on expanding its science-backed product portfolio and will continue to invest in advertising to support growth. She added that geopolitical developments and fluctuations in commodity prices remain key external factors, with the company relying on cost efficiencies and calibrated pricing actions to manage input cost pressures.
