Eureka Forbes Limited reported an 11.3% increase in revenue for the Financial Year 2025-26 (FY26), driven by consistent double-digit growth across its core water purifier business and emerging categories like robotics and air purifiers. The company’s adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 12.2% in FY26, up from 6.3% in FY23, reflecting improved operational efficiency and premiumisation strategies. Shareholders are invited to the 17th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 12:00 Noon IST via Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM). The meeting agenda includes the adoption of audited standalone and consolidated financial statements, the re-appointment of Sahil Dalal as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director, and the ratification of remuneration for Cost Auditors.
The Integrated Annual Report, dispatched electronically on July 25, 2026, highlights a strategic shift towards a diversified health and hygiene portfolio. While Electric Water Purifiers (EWP) remain the largest revenue contributor at 43% of FY26 turnover, service revenue accounted for 16%, and vacuum cleaners contributed 10%. Emerging segments, including robotics, water softeners, and air purifiers, collectively represented 31% of revenue, underscoring the success of the company’s diversification strategy. Management noted that robotic vacuum cleaners grew nearly threefold over the last two years, contributing nearly two-thirds of total vacuum cleaner revenues in FY26.
Financial performance was bolstered by robust cash generation, with Free Cash Flow (FCF) reaching ₹237 crore in FY26, representing a cash conversion ratio of 148% of Profit After Tax (PAT). This strong liquidity position allowed the company to move from a net debt of ₹32 crore in FY23 to a net cash surplus of ₹443 crore in FY26. Despite this financial strength, the Board proposed retaining the entire PAT of ₹160 crore (standalone) and did not recommend a dividend for FY26, aligning with its policy to reinvest profits into growth initiatives, innovation, and working capital optimisation.

Strategic Outlook and Operational Highlights
The company’s transformation journey has transitioned from "Turnaround" to "Take-Off," with a target to double revenue to ₹5,400–5,600 crore and triple EBITDA to ₹800–850 crore by FY30. Key drivers include democratising access to safe drinking water through affordable entry-point products and expanding the service ecosystem. The company strengthened its service network, comprising over 9,000 technicians across 19,500 pin codes, achieving record-high performance in service turnaround times and customer satisfaction metrics.
Innovation remained a core focus, with the launch of smart water purifiers, robotic cleaning stations with AI-enabled automation, and advanced air purifiers. The company also emphasised sustainability, achieving a 4% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and diverting over 1,000 metric tonnes of e-waste and plastic waste from landfills. Both manufacturing facilities in Dehradun and Bengaluru received the GC-Mark “Green Company” certification.
What the Numbers Show
A notable divergence exists between the company’s operational profitability and its bottom-line reporting due to exceptional items. While the core business delivered strong margin expansion and cash generation, the consolidated statement of profit and loss recorded an exceptional loss of ₹4,044.18 lakh. This charge stems from the incremental impact on retirement benefits following the notification of new Labour Codes by the Government of India in November 2025. Excluding this one-time regulatory impact, the underlying operational health remains robust, with consistent double-digit revenue growth and expanding operating margins indicating successful execution of the multi-category strategy.
