EPL Limited, a global leader in packaging solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27). The Company delivered its highest-ever top-line growth of 25.3%, despite significant external challenges and continued global market volatility, demonstrating the resilience of its business model, strong customer partnerships and disciplined execution. This marks the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth, reflecting the strength of EPL's fundamentals and consistent execution. Growth was broad-based, with Beauty & Cosmetics and Oral Care both growing by over 20%, while all regions delivered double-digit growth. On an underlying basis, excluding the pass-through impact of higher raw material prices, revenue growth stood at 20%.
EBITDA & Margins - EBITDA increased by 15.2% year-on-year , representing EPL's 15th consecutive quarter of double-digit EBITDA growth. EBITDA margin was at 18.8%, while underlying EBITDA margin was 19.6%. The company was able to pass on the entire cost increase through judicious pricing across all regions.
Profit After Tax (PAT) - PAT was in line with estimates and is on track for double-digit growth for the full year. While Q1 PAT declined by 1.4%, PBT increased by 10% year-on-year. The difference was primarily due to the lower effective tax rate in the corresponding quarter last year, which is expected to normalise over the full year.
Mr Hemant Bakshi, MD & Global CEO, EPL Limited, said, "Our outstanding Q1 performance, with revenue growth of 25.3%, the highest we have ever delivered, reflects the strength of our strategy, the resilience of our business and our relentless focus on customers. What makes this performance particularly meaningful is that we delivered record top-line momentum across every geography and core category, even amid continued global headwinds and price volatility, while protecting our underlying margins. We stayed focused on delivering superior service to our customers while taking decisive pricing actions to fully recover the cost impact, protecting our margins and continuing to invest behind our strategic priorities. The strength and breadth of this performance give us confidence in the momentum ahead, enabling us to raise our full-year revenue growth outlook to the high-teens while maintaining our commitment to 20% underlying EBITDA margins."
