A higher TDS rate of 20% will apply if the PAN is not linked with Aadhaar or is unavailable.
Deadline for submitting tax exemption forms (like Form 121) is August 10, 2026.

44.3% YoY Profit Drop to Rs 198 Cr in Q1 FY27 Amid Steep Tax Hikes
Godfrey Phillips reported a sharp 44.3% YoY decline in Net Profit to Rs 198 Cr for Q1 FY27, primarily due to a significant excise duty hike implemented in Q4 FY26. While Gross Sales Value grew 38.6% to Rs 5,676 Cr, Net Revenue fell 18.8% to Rs 1,206 Cr as excise duties surged to Rs 2,614 Cr from Rs 327 Cr in the year-ago period. Domestic cigarette volumes showed resilience, declining only 2% YoY to 1,866 million per month despite the tax-led price increases. The company is focusing on a phased pricing strategy and expanding unmanufactured tobacco exports, which contributed Rs 248 Cr this quarter.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe company experienced a significant margin squeeze as excise duties surged, leading to a sharp drop in profitability despite higher gross sales.
Why it mattersThis highlights the extreme sensitivity of the cigarette business to taxation changes; the company is currently in a transition phase of adjusting prices to recover margins while protecting its 14% market share.
Net Profit (Q1 FY27): Rs 198 CrYoY Profit Growth: -44.3%Excise Duty (Q1 FY27): Rs 2,614 CrDomestic Volume: 1,866 million/monthQ1 Net Profit vs TTM PAT: ~13%
📅 Short termThe stock may face pressure as the market digests the significant drop in quarterly profitability and the impact of the tax hike on margins.
📈 Long termThe company's strong brand portfolio and cash surplus of Rs 2,405 Cr provide stability, but long-term growth depends on navigating the high-tax environment and expanding the export business.
⚠ Risk flags
- Regulatory/Taxation risk
- Growth of illicit trade
- Geopolitical impact on tobacco exports
Key Highlights
Net Profit for Q1 FY27 fell 44.3% YoY to Rs 198 Cr, representing only ~13% of TTM PAT
Gross Sales Value increased 38.6% YoY to Rs 5,676 Cr, driven by higher tax-inclusive pricing
Domestic cigarette volumes declined by 2% YoY to 1,866 million per month
Operating EBITDA margin on Gross Sales contracted sharply to 3.2% from 8.3% YoY
Unmanufactured tobacco exports reached Rs 248 Cr, accounting for 7% of net sales
👀 What to Watch
Monitor the company's ability to pass on the increased tax burden through phased price hikes without further impacting volumes. Watch for any regulatory updates regarding illicit trade, which management cited as a growing concern for legal volumes.
44% Profit Drop in Q1 FY27 as Steep Tax Hikes Offset 39% Gross Sales Growth
Godfrey Phillips reported a sharp 44.3% YoY decline in Net Profit to 198 Cr for Q1 FY27, despite a 38.6% surge in Gross Sales Value to 5,676 Cr. The profitability hit is primarily attributed to a massive increase in excise duties, which rose to 2,614 Cr from 327 Cr in the year-ago period. While domestic cigarette volumes remained resilient with only a 2% decline to 1,866 million units per month, operating EBITDA margins on gross sales contracted significantly from 8.3% to 3.2%. Management is adopting a phased pricing strategy to mitigate the impact of the tax burden and the rise of illicit trade.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedA major shift in the tax structure (excise duty) has significantly decoupled gross revenue growth from net profitability.
Why it mattersThe sharp margin contraction tests the company's pricing power and brand resilience in a high-tax environment, especially as it competes with the dominant market leader, ITC.
Net Profit (Q1 FY27): 198 CrGross Sales Value: 5,676 CrExcise Duty: 2,614 CrDomestic Volume: 1,866 million/monthEBITDA Margin (on Gross Sales): 3.2%
📅 Short termThe stock may face pressure as the market digests the 44% profit decline and the significant margin compression caused by the tax hike.
📈 Long termThe company's 14% market share and strong cash surplus of 2,405 Cr provide a buffer, but structural growth depends on navigating the high-tax regulatory landscape and expanding non-tobacco segments.
⚠ Risk flags
- Regulatory risk from high taxation
- Growth of illicit cigarette trade
- Geopolitical impacts on tobacco exports
Key Highlights
Net Profit declined 44.3% YoY to 198 Cr due to Q4 FY26 tax increases
Gross Sales Value grew 38.6% YoY to 5,676 Cr, driven by higher tax-inclusive pricing
Domestic cigarette volumes fell marginally by 2% to 1,866 million per month
Excise duty surged to 2,614 Cr, representing 46% of Gross Sales Value
International business contributed 264 Cr, accounting for 7% of Net Sales
👀 What to Watch
Watch for the company's ability to pass on the remaining tax burden through phased price hikes in upcoming quarters without further impacting volumes. Monitor management's commentary on the growth of illicit trade, which they identified as a significant competitive threat.
Rs 33 Final Dividend: Godfrey Phillips Sets Aug 11 as Record Date; Q1 PAT at Rs 198 Cr
Godfrey Phillips has fixed August 11, 2026, as the record date for a final dividend of Rs 33 per share for FY26. The company reported a consolidated PAT of Rs 198.39 crore for Q1 FY27, a 44% decline from Rs 356.28 crore in the same quarter last year. While standalone revenue from operations surged to Rs 3,814.66 crore from Rs 1,807.01 crore, this was primarily driven by a massive spike in excise duty expenses. The 89th Annual General Meeting is scheduled for August 24, 2026.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe company has formalized the timeline for its FY26 final dividend payout and released its Q1 FY27 financial results showing significant margin pressure despite higher gross revenue.
Why it mattersThe Rs 33 dividend represents a yield of approximately 1.48% at current prices. However, the sharp drop in quarterly PAT despite doubling gross revenue indicates a shift in tax structure or product mix that warrants closer inspection.
Final Dividend: Rs 33 per shareRecord Date: 11-Aug-2026Q1 FY27 Cons. PAT: Rs 198.39 crDividend vs TTM PAT: ~34%Excise Duty (Q1 FY27): Rs 2,614.05 cr
📅 Short termThe stock may see some support due to the dividend record date, but the 44% YoY decline in consolidated PAT could lead to short-term volatility.
📈 Long termThe company maintains a strong 14% market share and high ROCE (38%), but regulatory risks and excise duty fluctuations remain the primary structural challenges for the cigarette business.
⚠ Risk flags
- Significant YoY decline in net profit
- Sharp increase in excise duty impacting margins
- Regulatory vulnerability of the tobacco industry
Key Highlights
Final dividend of Rs 33 per equity share (face value Rs 2) recommended for FY25-26.
Record date for dividend eligibility fixed as August 11, 2026.
Consolidated Q1 FY27 PAT fell to Rs 198.39 crore vs Rs 356.28 crore in Q1 FY26.

👀 What to Watch
Investors should monitor the upcoming AGM on August 24, 2026, for management's explanation regarding the sharp rise in excise duty and its impact on net margins, which saw a significant contraction this quarter.
Q1 PAT Falls 44% to Rs 198 Cr; Rs 33 Dividend Record Date Set for Aug 11
Godfrey Phillips reported a sharp 44.3% YoY decline in consolidated PAT to Rs 198.39 Cr for Q1 FY27, down from Rs 356.28 Cr. While gross revenue from operations surged 110.6% YoY to Rs 3,819.56 Cr, this was primarily driven by a massive increase in excise duty, which rose to Rs 2,614.05 Cr from Rs 327.06 Cr. The company fixed August 11, 2026, as the record date for a final dividend of Rs 33 per share. Additionally, the company received an interim insurance payment of Rs 100 Cr against a total inventory loss claim of Rs 284.36 Cr.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe company transitioned to a significantly higher excise duty regime in Q1, leading to inflated gross revenue but sharply lower net profitability compared to the previous year.
Why it mattersThe 44% drop in PAT indicates that the company is facing severe margin pressure, likely due to an inability to fully pass on the increased tax burden or a shift in product mix toward lower-margin segments.

📅 Short termThe stock may face downward pressure in the coming days due to the significant bottom-line miss, although the upcoming dividend payout may provide some support.
