AWL share price soared more than 8% during Thursday’s trading session, following the company’s announcement of its highest quarterly revenue to date for the June ’25 quarter, indicating strong underlying momentum in key areas despite a year-on-year drop in net profit.
This surge follows a robust 21% year-on-year revenue increase for Q1FY26, which amounted to ₹17,059 crore, representing the company’s best-ever performance for the first quarter. The revenue growth was propelled by increased realisations in the edible oil sector, which contributed ₹13,415 crore, reflecting a 26% year-on-year rise.
AWL Agri Business Ltd has announced a 24% decrease in consolidated net profit to ₹237.95 crore for the first quarter of this fiscal year, attributed to increased expenses. The net profit was recorded at ₹313.20 crore during the same period last year. Total expenses rose to ₹16,954.14 crore, up from ₹13,789.67 crore.
For the April-June quarter, revenue from edible oil increased by 26% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹13,415 crore, despite a 4% annual decline in volumes.
In the first quarter, the food and FMCG sector reported revenue of ₹1,414 crore, reflecting an 8% YoY decline, impacted by several temporary challenges, as stated by the company. The revenue from industry essentials grew to ₹2,229.88 crore, compared to ₹1,986.26 crore previously.
The company experienced a temporary drop in volume, mainly due to the integration of its regional rice operations and subdued consumer demand. However, it is noteworthy that the core categories achieved robust volume growth, with revenue increasing by 21% YoY, supported by higher realizations in edible oil, according to Angshu Mallick, MD & CEO of AWL Agri Business Ltd.
In the 2024-25 fiscal year, AWL Agri Business Ltd, formerly known as Adani Wilmar Ltd, reported a net profit of ₹1,225.81 crore alongside a total income of ₹63,910.28 crore.
Last December, the Adani Group revealed its decision to withdraw from Adani Wilmar Ltd, a joint venture with the Singapore-based Wilmar Group.
