EPL Limited Achieves Record Q4 FY26 Performance Driven by Beauty Segment Growth
EPL Limited capped off its fiscal year with its strongest quarter yet in Q4 FY26, driven by a remarkable ~30% surge in its Beauty & Cosmetics segment. This growth propelled Q4 revenue up 17.6% to ₹13,005 million. For the full year FY26, EPL's revenue climbed 13% to ₹47,631 million, while profit, excluding exceptional items, rose 15% to ₹4,171 million.
Strategic Investments Fuel Broad-Based Growth
The company's investments in capacity, innovation, and geographic diversification are clearly paying off. The substantial expansion in the Beauty & Cosmetics segment signals a successful strategic pivot toward higher-value products. This broad-based growth contributed to an improved EBITDA margin of 20.4% for FY26, with total EBITDA reaching ₹9,724 million.
Global Manufacturing Footprint Expands with Thailand Plant
EPL has further strengthened its global operations with the commissioning of a new manufacturing facility in Thailand during FY26. This expansion is key to serving growing regional demand more efficiently and potentially reducing logistical costs.
EcoVadis Platinum Rating Highlights Sustainability Commitment
The company also achieved a prestigious EcoVadis Platinum rating, placing it among the top tier of sustainable companies globally. This recognition underscores EPL's strong commitment to environmental and social performance, a factor increasingly important for global clients and investors.
