Quarter Snapshot
Emami's standalone performance was strong with 21% EBITDA growth and 516bps margin expansion, but consolidated results were dragged by acquisition integration costs, a 10% decline in international business due to geopolitical disruption, and a sharp tax rate normalisation. The effective tax rate jump from 12% to 29% is structural and will continue to pressure PAT, while the near-term dilution from acquisitions clouds the earnings outlook.

Risk Factors
- Consolidated PAT attributable to owners declined 16.38% YoY to Rs.137.35 Cr, dragged by acquisition integration costs and tax normalisation.
- International business revenue declined 10.19% YoY, worse than management's guidance of 'close to single-digit growth', due to Strait of Hormuz disruption.
