Total income stood at ₹15,535 lakhs, representing growth of 9.9% year on year and 11.4% sequentially. EBITDA for the quarter stood at ₹1,254 lakhs, with a margin of 8.1%, compared with 12.7% in Q2 FY26 and 9.0% in Q1 FY27. Operating EBITDA for the quarter stood at ₹1,131 lakhs, with a margin of 7.3%, compared with 11.3% in Q2 FY26 and 8.7% in Q1 FY27. Of the 393 basis point year-on-year contraction in Operating EBITDA margin, approximately 190 basis points were attributable to higher raw material costs and 200 basis points to increased sales promotion expenditure. On the raw material front, geopolitical uncertainties drove price increases across certain inputs. The extent of these increases varied across materials, with some remaining relatively less affected. Our raw material mix therefore helped cushion the overall cost impact, although input cost pressures continued to weigh on margins. We also increased sales promotion activities to stimulate demand while maintaining our underlying pricing structure. These initiatives helped stimulate demand and supported the double-digit growth achieved during the quarter. While the higher expenditure weighed on near-term margins, it reflects our focus on gaining market share and building sustained sales momentum Profit after tax stood at ₹419 lakhs, translating into a PAT margin of 2.7%.
