GODREJ CONSUMER (GCPL) on Friday reported a 6.5% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to ₹459 crore for the September quarter (Q2FY26), coming below Street estimates of ₹512 crore.

The drop came amid GST transitional issues, which were flagged by the company in its quarterly update earlier this month.

Consolidated revenue rose 4.3% yo-y to ₹3,825 crore, in line with Street estimates, though Ebitda declined 3.5%yo-y to ₹733 crore, below Street estimates. Ebitda margins fell 150bps to 19.2% versus 20.7% reported last year, even as the company said that it expected the second half to be better than the first half of the year.
