While EBITDA grew 20% to 363 Cr, margins slightly compressed to 11.5% from 12.1% due to restructuring in the organic segment.

26% Revenue Growth in Q1 FY27; US Countervailing Duty Revised Down to 75%
LT Foods reported a strong 26% YoY increase in consolidated revenue to ₹3,161 Cr for Q1 FY27, significantly outpacing its 5-year CAGR of 18%. Growth was primarily driven by the North American market (+49% YoY) and the Basmati segment (+34% YoY), although PAT growth was more modest at 9% (₹183 Cr). A key regulatory relief was noted as the US countervailing duty on organic soybean exports was revised down from 340% to 75%. However, the Organic Foods segment faced headwinds with a 13% revenue decline and EBITDA margins dropping to 4% from 10% due to business remodeling.
Confidence: HIGH

Why it mattersThe strong performance in North America and the leadership of 'Golden Star' as the #1 Jasmine rice brand in the US demonstrate successful international premiumization. The reduction in debt levels while maintaining a 21.1% ROCE suggests efficient scaling.
