I now hand the conference over to Mr. Sumedh from EY. Thank you and over to you, sir.
Sumedh: Thank you, Sumit, and good afternoon, everyone. We welcome you to the Q1 FY27 Earnings
Conference Call of ADF Foods Limited. To take us through the results and to answer your
questions, we have with us today the top management of ADF Foods represented by
Mr. Bimal Thakkar, the Promoter, Chairman, Managing Director and CEO; Mr. Sumer Thakkar,
the Promoter, Vice President - Sales and Strategy; and Mr. Srinivas Ayyagari,
the Chief Financial Officer.
We will start the call with an overview of the business and recent updates by Mr. Bimal Thakkar
and then Mr. Srinivas will give his comments on the financials. As usual, the standard Safe
Harbor clause applies when we start the call. Over to you.
Bimal Thakkar: Thank you, Sumedh. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. We have
commenced FY27 on a strong note, delivering our fourth consecutive quarter of strong double-
digit growth year-on-year. In Q1 of FY27, our consolidated revenue from operations increased
by 25.9% year-on-year to INR167.3 crores.
On a stand-alone basis, revenue grew by 20.5% year-on-year to INR120.9 crores. This
performance was driven by deeper shelf space penetration, continued category diversification,
traction from product listings secured over the past few quarters and strong execution across our
key international markets.
Importantly, we achieved this growth despite continued geopolitical uncertainties arising from
the West Asia conflict, supply chain and trade route disruptions, vessel shortages and elevated
fuel and increased ocean freight costs. Consumer demand for authentic, convenient and value-
added ethnic Indian food products continues to remain healthy across our markets.
The increasing preference for ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, shelf-stable and frozen categories
continue to support our growth strategy. Our diversified product portfolio, wide geographic
presence and established distribution capabilities are enabling us to address these opportunities
across diaspora as well as mainstream consumer segments.
Coming to our brands. Ashoka continued to deliver strong quarter-on-quarter growth supported
by robust demand from South Asian diaspora and deeper penetration across our core and
emerging international markets. The brand has delivered a revenue CAGR of more than 20%
over the last 5 years reflecting the brand strength, sustained marketing investments, continuing
product innovation and expansion across channels and geographies. Going forward, our focus
remains on expanding shelf space, introducing new products and strengthening engagement
across retail and e-commerce channels.

Truly Indian has also sustained its growth momentum. The brand is now present across more
than 3,000 stores in the United States through marquee mainstream clients. Our investment in
product development, refreshed packaging, retail engagement, sampling and digital marketing
are helping us strengthen brand visibility and encourage consumer trials.
Repeat orders received from several retail partners provide encouraging validation of consumer
acceptance and we remain focused on building deeper penetration with existing accounts while
pursuing additional listings.
Our domestic brand Soul continued to strengthen its presence in India. During the quarter, our
focus remained on expanding the product portfolio, increasing reach across e-commerce, quick
commerce and modern trade channels and undertaking targeted in-store and digital consumer
engagement initiatives. With a refreshed team and a differentiated portfolio of better-for-you
packaged food products, we are building this brand with a long-term perspective.
On manufacturing, our Surat greenfield facility, which commenced operations in Q4 of financial
year '26, has now begun commercial deliveries and initial container shipments. The facility
expands our frozen food manufacturing capabilities and provides additional capacity to support
future demand. We will continue to scale operations at Surat in a calibrated manner over the
coming years while maintaining our focus on quality, efficiency and execution.
We also received an important milestone during the quarter by receiving the highest AEO-T3
certification from the CBIC. This strengthens our export operations by enabling faster customs
clearances, reduced inspections and improved export efficiency. For a business with significant
international presence, this certification further strengthens our trade and compliance
capabilities.
On profitability, consolidated EBITDA increased by 26% year-on-year to INR29.7 crores with
the EBITDA margin at 17.7%. This performance was supported by an improved product mix,
continued momentum in frozen foods, tariff refunds, cost optimization initiatives and
operational efficiencies despite elevated freight costs and ongoing investments in our brand and
organizational capabilities. The operating environment remains uncertain particularly amid
evolving geopolitical developments, tariff-related uncertainties, vessel shortages and ongoing
disruptions in global shipping networks.
This continues to impact freight costs and transit timelines. Despite ongoing external
uncertainties, we remain cautiously optimistic as we continue to expand shelf space, scale
manufacturing capacity, further strengthen our brands and introduce relevant products across
markets.
With strong business momentum, we remain well positioned to deliver revenue upwards of
INR900 crores in financial year 27 while maintaining healthy high-teen EBITDA margins. The
resilience of our business reinforces our confidence in our brand, execution capability and
diversified market prese
