Dabur India Limited reported its Q3 FY25 financial results, showcasing moderate growth in revenue but a slight dip in profitability. The company’s revenue from operations rose 3% year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 3,355 crore, compared to Rs 3,255 crore in Q3 FY24. Total income for the quarter stood at Rs 3,483 crore, down marginally from Rs 3,382 crore in the same period last year.
Total expenses for the quarter increased to Rs 2,826 crore, up from Rs 2,634 crore YoY, driven by higher costs in key areas such as employee benefits, depreciation, and advertisement expenses. The cost of materials consumed declined slightly to Rs 1,220 crore, compared to Rs 1,270 crore last year, reflecting efficient sourcing and cost-saving measures. Employee benefit expenses rose to Rs 335 crore, and advertising and publicity expenses stood at Rs 227 crore.
Profit before tax was Rs 658 crore, down from Rs 661 crore YoY, reflecting the impact of increased costs on margins. Net profit for the quarter came in at Rs 516 crore, a 2% surge from Rs 506 crore in Q3 FY24.
Dabur attributed the performance to ongoing cost pressures and muted growth in some product segments, but it remains optimistic about its future growth through continuous innovation and category expansion.
