Pidilite Reports Strong Q4 FY26 Results; Targets Sustained Double-Digit Growth Despite Inflationary Headwinds​

Pidilite Industries Limited reported robust financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026. The company showcased strong underlying volume growth, leading to substantial margin expansion and solid performance across its Consumer and B2B segments, despite disruptions in export revenues caused by the conflict in West Asia.

During the earnings call held on May 8, 2026, management detailed the quarterly performance, noting that the standalone revenue for the current quarter reached INR 3,272 crores, marking a 15.3% increase in value terms. This growth was underpinned by an underlying volume growth (UVG) of 15.3%.

Quarterly and Annual Financial Highlights​

The company posted encouraging results both standalone and consolidated.


The strong performance was driven by the Consumer and Bazaar segment, which recorded a 15.4% UVG, and the B2B segment, which showed a 14.8% UVG. Management noted that the only area of concern was exports, where both Consumer & Bazaar and B2B saw an impact in March due to supply chain disruptions stemming from the conflict in the Gulf and West Asia.

On the consolidated level, the total revenue grew by 14.1%, with EBITDA margin expanding by 310 basis points, leading to a 36.6% growth in PAT. The Board also approved a final dividend of INR 11.5 per share on the expanded share capital.

Strategic Transactions and Operational Outlook​

On the strategic front, Pidilite announced a share swap involving its BuildNext platform, BuildNext Construction Solutions, with JSW One. Management explained that the decision was based on finding strategic synergies, stating that BuildNext has a good home within JSW One. Following the transaction, the company’s shareholding in JSW One will be insignificant.

The company also provided insights into inflationary pressures and future market dynamics. Management highlighted that the weighted average raw material basket is currently seeing inflation ranging between 40% to 50%. To manage this, the company plans to pass on absolute increases in raw material prices in a calibrated and staggered fashion.

In terms of core products, Fevicol delivered double-digit growth in the quarter that went by. The company’s total consolidated revenue growth for the full year was reported at 11.1%.

Segment Performance and Market Address​

Management provided detailed updates on key business segments:

• Waterproofing (Nina): While the waterproofing business recorded a decline of 16% due to environmental challenges and local pollution restrictions impacting workfront availability, the order book remains very healthy.
• Paints: The paints division continues to show good traction in Rurban India and is expanding its presence into West Bengal and Bihar.
• Consumer & Bazaar: Management attributed the strong growth to a combination of natural buoyancy, particularly in urban India, and intensified efforts in demand generation and field marketing.

The company confirmed that while the market is showing buoyancy, the overall performance is a combination of internal efficiency and market momentum. For the full year, management indicated that the underlying volume growth (UVG) was around 11.1%.

Pricing and Cost Management​

Regarding pricing, the company confirmed it has implemented price hikes in a calibrated manner. For the Fevicol division, a 5% increase was taken in April, followed by an additional 7% to 9% increase in early May, leading to a cumulative price increase of approximately 12% to 15%.

Management emphasized that the company’s approach to cost management and continued focus on demand generation remains paramount, aiming to sustain the momentum of growth while navigating the current inflationary environment.
