Record Sales: Oriental Aromatics posted its highest-ever quarterly sales in Q2 FY26, with group turnover rising 20% sequentially to INR 271 crores.
Volume Growth: Production increased by 26% quarter-on-quarter and 10% year-on-year, with sales volume up 30% QoQ and 21% YoY, reflecting strong demand and market share gains.
Margin Compression: EBITDA margin dropped to 6.34% from 11.20% last year, mainly due to conscious price alignment, ongoing ramp-up costs at Mahad, and persistent pricing pressures.
Profit Decline: Net profit for the quarter fell sharply to INR 0.74 crores from INR 14.78 crores a year earlier, as profitability was impacted by lower margins and operational pressures.
Mahad Plant Drag: The new Mahad facility is currently a 1.5%–2% drag on group EBITDA due to low utilization, though management expects this to normalize as the plant ramps up.
Outlook: Management remains optimistic on demand and aims to restore margins to the 8%–10% target as capacity utilization and process improvements advance.
