    What Changed

    The filing indicates Marico reported steady demand growth in Q1 FY27 with double-digit volume growth in India and robust performance across core brands. However, the provided quarterly trend data shows a different pattern: revenue increased from ₹2,278 Cr in Q4FY24 to ₹2,794 Cr in Q3FY25, but net profit declined 15.2% YoY to ₹406 Cr while OPM compressed from 23.69% in Q1FY25 to 19.08% in Q3FY25. The company attributes this to softening copra prices improving gross margins, though the data shows OPM pressure. International markets demonstrated mid-teens constant currency growth, though Bangladesh growth moderated. The company reaffirmed its medium-term aspiration for sustainable, profitable volume-led growth.
