Hindustan Foods Limited has posted healthy Q1 numbers for FY 2025-26, reflecting good growth in all major financial metrics and operational performance in the face of a tough market scenario. The company reported consolidated revenue of around Rs 995 crore during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, reflecting a good expansion of around 14.6% YoY. The company’s growth was driven by consistent demand for its diversified product base and reinstated exports to major markets overseas.
Net Profit and EPS
Profitability too improved materially. Hindustan Foods clocked net profit of Rs 31.7 crore, marking an increase of 16.3% over the corresponding period of the previous year. Earnings per share (EPS) on continuing operations were at Rs 2.69 compared to Rs 2.38 in the previous year, evidencing good cost control and improvements in margins driven by operating efficiencies.
On the profit front, the company’s profit before tax (PBT) was Rs 36 crore, growing by a healthy 24% year-on-year. EBITDA also demonstrated good resilience, growing by nearly 47%, driven by increased revenues and tight expense management. The results reflect Hindustan Foods’ capability to counter inflationary pressures and supply chain issues effectively.
New Business Verticals and Exports-oriented approach
A key highlight for Q1 was the ongoing integration and ramp-up of new business verticals. The company is progressing well with its healthcare and wellness plant in Baddi, which supports diversification beyond traditional food products. Expansion into related sectors like ice cream manufacturing and footwear production, through its subsidiary KNS Shoe Tech, continues to lay the foundation for sustained growth.
Export markets continue to be a significant source of growth, with exports resuming unproblematically to markets like the UAE, Australia, and Africa following disruptions from the pandemic. The approvals of regulatory potential for new markets of export are underway, which the company is expecting to aid in future revenue growth.
Innovation and capacity-expansion in focus
In spite of prudent international economic sentiments and exchange rate fluctuations, Hindustan Foods’ resolute top-line growth and enhanced profitability have also enthused investors. The performance in the quarter is an indicator of the company’s aggressive strategy of innovation, expansion of capacities, and staying attuned to evolving consumer patterns. Further efforts towards optimizing operational efficiencies and increasing market presence will also continue to support sustained momentum in future quarters.
Overall, Hindustan Foods’ Q1 FY26 performance reflects strong growth in revenues and profits, underpinned by strategic diversification and resilience in operations. The company’s strong financial performance, combined with encouraging business developments, leaves it well placed to leverage emerging market opportunities and continue steady growth in the future. Investors and stakeholders will be closely monitoring the extent to which the new ventures and export initiatives feed into the company’s sustained success against a dynamic macroeconomic environment.
