Personal care products maker Gillette India on Thursday reported a 9.4% rise in first-quarter profit, helped by steady demand for its grooming products.
The company, a unit of U.S. consumer goods major Procter & Gamble, posted standalone profit of ₹159 crore ($16.61 million), up from ₹146 crore a year earlier.
Revenue rose 10.8% to ₹783 crore, driven by a nearly 9% increase in the firm’s grooming segment, which accounts for more than 80% of total revenue. Its smaller oral care segment grew nearly 19%.
Expenses rose 10.9% due to higher raw material costs.
Despite the results, shares of the company fell as much as 2.8% after the results before paring some losses to trade 2% lower.
