Parag Milk Foods reported a consolidated revenue from operations of ₹944.57 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), marking an 11% year-on-year increase and setting a new quarterly revenue record. The top-line growth was supported by an 11% value increase and a 3% volume growth. While consolidated EBITDA rose 6% to ₹68.30 crore, net profit declined 20% to ₹22.05 crore primarily due to current tax impacts in FY27. This performance underscores the company’s ability to navigate commodity inflation through disciplined pricing strategies despite a 13% year-on-year rise in milk procurement prices.
Financial Performance Overview
The company’s consolidated EBITDA margin stood at 7.23%, compared to 6.80% in the corresponding previous quarter, although the investor presentation cites a margin of 7.4% versus 7.7% last year, reflecting slight variations in reporting metrics. Gross margin contracted slightly quarter-on-quarter by 70 basis points to 27.3%, attributed to higher costs offsetting benefits from measured price increases and favorable product mix. On a standalone basis, revenue from operations reached ₹920.47 crore, up from ₹830.52 crore in Q1FY26. Standalone net profit was ₹25.43 crore, down from ₹32.35 crore in the prior year period.

Segment Growth Dynamics
The "New Age" business portfolio, comprising Pride of Cows and Avvatar, emerged as a key growth driver, recording robust revenue of ₹118 crore, a 59% surge year-on-year. Its contribution to overall turnover rose to 13% from 9% in the previous year. Avvatar strengthened its market position through product innovations like protein wafer bars and ready-to-drink protein coffee, which accounted for 7% of the brand’s revenue. Additionally, Avvatar partnered with India’s Got Latent Season 2, hosted by Samay Raina, which garnered over 64 million views on YouTube. The flagship categories—Ghee, Cheese, Paneer, and Dahi—contributed 61% of total revenue, delivering 10% value growth despite a 2% decline in volumes due to transient channel slowdowns.
Strategic Initiatives and Leadership
The Board of Directors approved a ₹105 crore brownfield expansion to double cheese manufacturing capacity from 60 MT/day to 120 MT/day, targeted for completion by FY28. This expansion also aims to drive parallel growth in whey protein generation. In leadership changes, Rakesh Kothari was elevated to Chief Financial Officer and Key Managerial Personnel with effect from August 7, 2026. Kothari brings over 25 years of experience from Citibank and Sadhana Nitro Chem. Statutory auditors Sharp & Tannan issued unmodified review conclusions on the results. The company also highlighted its strong balance sheet, with net debt reduced to ₹484 crore and a Net Debt/Equity ratio of 0.4x in FY26.
