Profit before exceptional items and tax surged 173.19% YoY to Rs 6.42 crore in Q2 FY26. The company reported an exceptional loss of Rs 0.77 crore, compared with an exceptional loss of Rs 8.93 crore in the same quarter last year. On a half-year basis, the company's net profit fell 65.81% to Rs 5.33 crore, while revenue increased 2.23% to Rs 838.73 crore in H1 FY26 compared with H1 FY25. Amit Kumat, MD, Prataap Snacks, said: 'We have navigated the second quarter with resilience amid a demand environment that continues to be challenging. Revenues for Q2FY26 of Rs 4,298 million were higher by 5% on a QoQ basis. However, Q2 revenues reflect a modest decline on a year-on-year basis, primarily due to impact from GST transition. While categories such as Rings and smaller price-point packs of chips have seen some softness, our namkeen and pellet categories have held steady and continue to contribute positively to the topline. Despite these headwinds, we are pleased to report an increase in EBITDA by 27% and 20% on a QoQ and YoY basis respectively. Despite adverse variance in key input prices over the respective prior periods, interventions such as ongoing process optimization initiatives, and grammage rationalization have enabled an improvement in EBITDA margin. We are planning to set up a new, modern facility at Indore with greater degree of automation which will enable us to better streamline production and significantly reduce overheads, further optimising cost of production and structurally enhancing the margin profile. On the distribution front, we continue to execute our strategy with focus and discipline. While overall distribution coverage has increased marginally, our efforts to strengthen emerging channels are paying off'quick-commerce has delivered the strongest traction among new platforms, followed by modern trade, while exports continue to build gradually. Favourable macroeconomic conditions - including stable inflation, lower interest and tax rates, and the GST rationalisation - are driving a broad-based recovery in consumption. We are confident that this improved external environment, combined with the multiple internal initiatives we are implementing, will translate into accelerated topline growth and enhanced profitability. We believe these outcomes will be visible in the second half itself, driven by initiatives with near-term impact, and will further strengthen over time as medium- to long-term measures take effect.'

Net sales rose by 3.1% year-over-year (YoY) to Rs 398.53 crore during the period under review. Total operating expenditure increased by 12.2% YoY to Rs 395.66 crore in Q4 FY25, due to higher raw material costs (up 18.6% YoY) and higher other expenses (up 3.4% YoY). Profit before interest, depreciation and taxes dropped by 81% to Rs 7.21 crore in the fourth quarter from Rs 37.99 crore recorded in the same period last year. The company posted a pre-tax loss of Rs 11.02 crore in Q4 FY25 as against a pre-tax profit of Rs 16.90 crore in Q4 FY24. Prataap Snacks has recorded a net loss of Rs 34.27 crore in FY25 as against a net profit of Rs 53.12 crore in FY24. Net sales for FY25 were Rs 1,699.08 crore, up 5.5% YoY. Amit Kumat, MD, Prataap Snacks, said: 'In FY25, we witnessed sustained inflationary pressures and weak consumption trends which have impacted demand for consumer products. The impact is more visible in the value segment. Given this backdrop, we are pleased to report positive revenue growth of 6% YoY for FY25 and 3% YoY in Q4FY25. Topline growth in Q4 would have been slightly higher, but for some lost sales due to the fire in our Jammu facility. We have enhanced capacities at other facilities located in North India towards end of the quarter. Our sharpened focus on core markets, data-driven sales strategies, and expanded distribution have been key enablers of the topline growth. In addition to witnessing encouraging trends in market share, we are pleased that our leadership in extruded snacks remains intact. During the year, we witnessed a sharp rise in input costs, especially palm oil and potatoes with other inputs also witnessing inflationary pressures. Our ongoing cost optimization initiatives delivered meaningful impact, easing some part of the margin pressures. As input prices eased slightly towards the end of the fiscal, we reported improved profitability in Q4 over Q3. Despite a challenging year, we have delivered a positive cash profit and improved working capital further. Looking ahead to FY26, our focus will be to drive sustainable profitable growth through sharper cost control, distribution expansion, and technology-led governance.'
