Despite the volume pressure, <strong>EBITDA rose 94.1% year on year to \u20b9621.4 million<\/strong>, with <strong>EBITDA margin improving to 10.4%<\/strong> from <strong>5.3%<\/strong> in Q4 2024, supported by higher gross margins and a favorable product mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EBIT increased 167.0% year on year to \u20b9485.6 million<\/strong>, while <strong>profit before tax (excluding exceptional items) rose 169.1% to \u20b9409.8 million<\/strong>. <strong>Profit for the period increased to \u20b9303.0 million<\/strong> from <strong>\u20b9116.9 million<\/strong> a year earlier. <strong>Earnings per share rose to \u20b94.02<\/strong> from <strong>\u20b91.55<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Management said lower volumes weighed on sales growth in Q4, but margin expansion was supported by product mix improvement and ongoing efficiency programs across manufacturing and operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full-year 2025 snapshot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the full year 2025, <strong>net sales declined 2.5% year on year to \u20b923,890.4 million<\/strong>, compared with <strong>\u20b924,505.3 million<\/strong> in 2024.

The company also reported <strong>unutilized fund-based bank limits of \u20b94,424 million<\/strong>, providing ample liquidity headroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The financial position remained stable, with <strong>operating working capital improving to \u20b93,051 million<\/strong> due to lower inventory levels. The <strong>current ratio stood at 2.4x<\/strong>, and <strong>debt-to-equity remained at 0.1x<\/strong>, indicating a conservative leverage profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Operational efficiency and sustainability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Management highlighted ongoing <strong>efficiency initiatives<\/strong> that supported margin expansion through productivity improvements and mix optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On sustainability, the company reported <strong>material safety improvements in 2025<\/strong>, with total recordable incidents down <strong>46.2%<\/strong> year on year and lost-time injuries down <strong>50%<\/strong>. Several sites achieved <strong>Zero Liquid Discharge<\/strong> status, and the company\u2019s <strong>SBTi 1.5\u00b0C-aligned climate targets<\/strong> for Scope 1 and 2 emissions were verified in December 2025. Renewable electricity projects are progressing, with commissioning targeted for <strong>Q2 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Management expects efficiency programs to continue supporting profitability as market conditions stabilize. While volume growth remains sensitive to demand conditions across key end markets, margin resilience is expected to be supported by mix improvements, operational discipline and sustainability-led initiatives that improve cost efficiency over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Huhtamaki India delivered a strong improvement in profitability in Q4 and FY2025 despite flat to slightly lower sales, driven by margin expansion from favorable mix and efficiency measures.
