Godrej Consumer expects high-teens revenue growth in Q2 despite inflationary pressures

New Delhi: Godrej Consumer Products on Monday said it expects to post high-teens consolidated revenue growth in the September quarter, driven by healthy demand across markets, even as inflationary pressures intensified across several commodity-linked inputs.

"At the consolidated level, we expect to deliver another quarter of strong performance, with high-teens revenue growth, high-single-digit underlying volume growth and double-digit EBITDA growth," Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) said in its quarter updates.

Its standalone enterprise, which mainly consists of domestic business, is expected to deliver "revenue growth in the teens and high-single-digit underlying volume growth" despite an estimated impact of approximately 100-150 basis points from trade inventory correction.


"This performance is supported by healthy growth across both our Personal Care and Home Care portfolios, reflecting broad-based performance," it said.

In its international market, GCPL said Indonesia business, which is the second largest after India, is expected to deliver high-teens revenue growth, backed by high-single-digit volume growth.

"This performance is being driven by improved execution, sustained market share momentum, and healthy category trends," it added.

Its Godrej Africa, USA and Middle East (GAUM) business is also expected to report robust double-digit revenue and volume growth, supported by market development initiatives in core categories and expansion of its FMCG portfolio.

GCPL said it remains on track to deliver its annual guidance and is confident of exceeding it in select areas through broad-based growth across businesses.

The company, however, flagged rising input cost pressures during the quarter.

"Input cost pressures intensified during the quarter. While certain commodities had shown signs of moderation towards the end of Q1 FY27, Q2 witnessed renewed inflation across several key raw-material baskets, including crude-linked derivatives, palm oils, and other commodity inputs," said GCPL.

It responded through a combination of calibrated pricing actions, cost-saving initiatives, supply-chain efficiencies, and disciplined cost management.

"We have successfully navigated significantly larger commodity cycles in the past and remain confident in our ability to manage the current inflationary environment without compromising our growth agenda," it said.
