Lower Copra Prices to Support Margins

Marico stated that copra prices have declined nearly 45 per cent from their peak, although they remain above historical average levels. The company expects the correction in copra prices to improve gross margins sequentially in the coming quarters.

While crude-linked derivatives and vegetable oil prices remained elevated during the quarter, the company expects overall operating profit growth to remain strong, supported by improved business momentum and easing copra costs.

Marico International Business

Marico's international business delivered mid-teens constant currency revenue growth during Q1 FY27, led by strong performances in Vietnam and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Most international markets reported healthy growth, while Bangladesh experienced a temporary slowdown due to pricing anniversarisation and softer consumer demand.
