Eveready Industries India Limited — PPTs, 05-11-2025: Investor Presentation

Eveready Industries reported Q2 FY26 revenue up 6.7% YoY to INR 386.8 Cr, with Operating EBITDA at INR 49.1 Cr (+2.8%). PAT was negative at INR (7.9) Cr, impacted by one-time exceptional items like ex-gratia payments and an arbitration settlement. For the half-year (H1 FY26), revenue climbed 6.9% YoY to INR 760.9 Cr, with PAT at INR 22.3 Cr (+62%).

Growth was primarily driven by Batteries (+7.6% YoY to INR 257.3 Cr), especially Alkaline batteries which saw strong 68% growth and a 100 bps market share gain to 16.3%. Flashlights also showed solid performance (+10.6% YoY to INR 93.0 Cr), fueled by double-digit growth in rechargeables. Lighting sales saw a slight decline.

Strategically, the company is focused on accelerating its premium portfolio, optimizing distribution, and driving innovation via R&D. A key highlight is the new Jammu greenfield facility for Alkaline batteries, on track for commissioning by end-FY26. Management is eyeing targeted innovation, particularly in flashlights, where upcoming BIS mandates are expected to boost the rechargeable segment's momentum.
