Whirlpool reported Q4 FY26 consolidated revenue of INR 2,181 Cr, a high single-digit growth year-over-year, leading to full-year FY26 revenue of INR 8,034 Cr (+1.4% YoY). Q4 profit before exceptional items stood at INR 110 Cr (-29% YoY), primarily due to higher regulatory compliance costs (e-waste, energy efficiency upgrades) and intense competitive pricing pressures.
The company saw strong performance in its washer business, with market share gains in top load, semi-automatic, and front load segments. The AC business grew over 50% in Q4, and Elica's revenue surged 30%. Management aims for long-term market leadership in refrigerators and washing machines, focusing on strategic investments in product innovation, automation, and potential synergistic acquisitions, rather than immediate share buybacks, to drive future growth and shareholder value.
