Shares of Dodla Dairy Limited slipped more than 3% in early trade after the company reported its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of FY26.
For Q3 FY26, Dodla Dairy posted a revenue of ₹1,025 crore, marking a solid year-on-year growth of 13.7% compared with ₹901.2 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. The topline performance was supported by steady demand across key dairy categories and improved volumes.
However, EBITDA declined sharply by 17.4% on a YoY basis to ₹79.2 crore, down from ₹95.9 crore in Q3 FY25. The contraction in operating profit led to a significant drop in EBITDA margin, which fell to 7.72% from 10.64% a year ago, indicating rising cost pressures during the quarter.
Net profit for the quarter increased by 8% to ₹68.7 crore compared with ₹63.6 crore in the year-ago period. The company noted that profitability was impacted by a one-time cost of ₹5.7 crore related to the implementation of new labour codes, which weighed on overall margins.
