AWL Agri Business Ltd. (formerly Adani Wilmar Ltd.) reported its Q1 FY26 results on July 15. The company posted a consolidated net profit of ₹238 crore, down 24% from ₹313 crore in Q1 FY25. This decline came despite a 21% year-on-year (YoY) growth in revenue, which reached ₹17,059 crore compared to ₹14,154 crore last year.
The company’s operating EBITDA for the quarter stood at ₹519 crore, while profit before tax (PBT) was ₹311 crore, down 26% YoY. EBIT came in at ₹469 crore, a 20% drop from ₹584 crore in Q1 FY25.
Segment-wise, edible oil remained the biggest contributor with revenue of ₹13,415 crore, up 26% YoY, even though volumes declined by 4%. Food & FMCG revenue fell 8% to ₹1,414 crore due to weaker rice sales, while Industry Essentials grew 12% YoY to ₹2,230 crore.
AWL highlighted strong growth in its quick commerce (Q-commerce) channel, which rose ~75% YoY in Q1, and expanded its rural reach to 55,000 towns, a tenfold rise from FY22.
The company cited muted consumer demand, strategic consolidation of its rice business, and volatility in edible oil prices as key headwinds. However, management remains optimistic about a recovery, noting positive policy changes and improving palm oil dynamics.
For the last twelve months ending June 2025, the company reported operating EBITDA of ₹2,384 crore and a PAT of ₹1,151 crore, approaching its highest-ever rolling 12-month profits.
