✦ AI Summary▲ PositiveResults
Bikaji Foods International Ltd reported a 12.5% growth in sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by a strong demand for its products during the festive season. The company faced supply and production issues in the first 45 days of the quarter due to the absence of its chairman and labor movement during the Bengal elections. However, the company has taken two price increases in the last four months to mitigate the impact of rising edible oil and pulse prices. The EBITDA margin improved to 13.5% compared to 12.2% in the previous quarter.

I now hand the conference over to Mr. Ambesh Tiwari. Thank you and over to you, Ambesh.
Ambesh Tiwari: Good afternoon, everyone and thank you for joining the Bikaji Foods International Q1 FY27
Earnings Conference Call. From the management team, we have with us Mr. Rishabh Jain,
CFO and Mr. Manoj Verma, COO.
I will now request Mr. Rishabh Jain to take us through the key opening remarks, after which
we will have the floor open for Q&A session. Thank you and over to you, sir.
Rishabh Jain: So thank you very much. Thank you to all the investors. So this quarter, we've grown at close
to 12.5%. This quarter is a story of 2 halves, where, in first 45 days, there has been supply and
production issue for 2 reasons largely. One, of course, our Chairman is no more with us. So,
there are 3, 4 days of plant impact across the pan-India.
And number two, there were Bengal elections. So, there are a lot of movement of Bengali
labor. But, post 45 days, we've seen a great demand across all product range, be it Ethnic
Snacks, Western Snacks. So from primary lens, we're growing at 12.5%, but what we see from
secondary, so we're seeing good secondary tertiary overall in first 45 days also.
June, July, we're seeing good growth in demand and overall this festivity, we entering into
festivity this month, being Rakhi and next Diwali. So, we are getting very good response from
our organized retailers seeing good growth and maintaining 15% plus growth overall this year.
That's what overall target is.
From bottom line lens, what we're seeing that there are multiple pressures, be it edible oil, due
to this geo-political issue and less rainfall. So, it is also having some impact on few pulses, be
it moth dal and chana dal, all have started increasing this year. But, yes, we have taken 2 price
rise in the last 4 months and we are trying to maintain and trying to passing on the price to the
consumer.
We have taken one MRP increase in April, but, till now, we're not taking any MRP increase.
And what we see that till Diwali, we will maintain this price what we're doing because as we
enter into festivity, a lot of gift box and everything has been started. So that's what number
one.
From EBITDA lens, this quarter, our EBITDA was close to 13.5% versus last quarter, our
EBITDA was close to 12.2%. So there was good increase in EBITDA margin compared to last
quarter.

From capacity lens, largely, our new ASRS investment hasn’t gone live this month. So, we’ve
close to 1 lakh square feet of construction in Bikaner, where there's a lot of supply chain
business will be there going forward, where we'll keep close to additional 1.2, 1.3 lakh cartons
extra to ease on supply chain. This will help in overall maintaining this minimum stock level at
our key stock point.
Manoj Verma: As one of our growth driver, what we have identified is the increase in reach. So, we continue
to grow our direct coverage. And as we end this quarter, we are at 3,70,000 outlets plus is our
direct reach, adding 17,000 outlets in Quarter 1.
Talking about our marketing investment, in fact, if you look at, I mean, in this quarter, the
gross margins are up, whereas, EBITDA, it has slipped down, but that's primarily one of the
key factors also is that we invested heavily in this quarter as well, to build up momentum for
the festive season coming ahead of us.
So, Pankaj Tripathi campaign, we had in this quarter as well, which was for UP, then, some
launches of our Western snacks range, new products, what we did, participation in our
international exhibition as always, what we do.
Coming to the business, if we look at, so delivered an overall volume growth of 7.7% and a top
line value of 12.5% growth. Within this, the Ethnic Snacks have grown at 11.4%, Western
Snacks at 21.3%, Sweets at 4.4%. Papad was a bit challenging for this quarter for the reasons
that a little bit of early monsoon because June also, we saw that stuff.
And what happens is that being handmade papad, the monsoon impacts our production as well.
Talking about business from the geographies, look at core states have grown close to 11%,
focus states grown close to 19% and the other states at 5.6%. Export is the only channel,
where, for the first time, we have seen that almost flattish or a negative growth of 2.2%, which
primarily is on account of the U.S. tariff disturbances, which is happening.
And more importantly is the crude oil prices going up, which has taken up the freight 2x to 3x
kind of a stuff, so, which is what has deferred certain shipments. That's where it is. Otherwise,
we look at, in terms of demand, export stays as much strong for us. The mix between family
and impulse pack, if we look at family pack has grown at 11%, while impulse at 10.5%. The
retail business performance if we talk about, so this has grown at 71.8% Y-o-Y and our stores
have increased from 15 to 28 over 1 Year.
Rishabh Jain: So, from top line growth perspective, so over last quarter, our EBITDA has grown close to
13% and top line has grown close to 2%. So, EBITDA has improved compared to last quarter.
So, that's all from the
