Kedar Vaze, Whole Time Director & CEO, SH Kelkar and Company, said: “We delivered healthy revenue growth during FY26 despite a dynamic operating environment. The performance was supported by sustained demand across key customer segments, continued momentum in the domestic business, and stable performance in our European operations. Over the past year, we have remained focused on strengthening the building blocks for the next phase of growth. Our investments towards expanding capacities, enhancing our global Creative Development Centres, and deepening customer engagement capabilities are progressing well and are aligned with our long-term strategic priorities. We believe these initiatives will further strengthen our ability to drive innovation-led growth across markets. The broader environment continues to remain fluid, influenced by evolving geopolitical developments and supply-side dynamics globally. Within this operating landscape, our strong customer relationships, diversified presence, and continued focus on strategic priorities provide a solid foundation to navigate near-term uncertainties and capitalise on emerging opportunities.” Jagdish Agarwal, Group Chief Financial Officer, SH Kelkar and Company, said: “During Q4FY26, the Company delivered encouraging revenue growth, supported by steady performance across both the Fragrance and Flavour segments. Gross margins remained broadly steady on a sequential basis, adjusted for one-off sales of few low-margin products undertaken as part of a portfolio optimization exercise. The operating environment remains dynamic, with raw material prices rising on account of geopolitical developments in the Middle East and evolving supply-side conditions. While the current quarter did not see a meaningful impact from these cost pressures, supported by existing inventory coverage, the impact may be visible in the coming quarters. We are actively working on appropriate pricing measures, cost optimisation initiatives, and a disciplined business mix to protect margins. Given the uncertain supply environment, maintaining adequate coverage for select commodities may result in higher inventory levels in the near term. Our longer-term focus remains on improving the cash conversion cycle, strengthening internal accruals, and reducing debt. We will continue to prioritise financial discipline, prudent capital allocation, and sustained improvement in operating performance.” Result PDF

Kedar Vaze, Whole Time Director & CEO, SH Kelkar and Company, said: “Our current phase of investments reflects a clear strategic choice to build the Company for the next leg of growth. We are strengthening our global Creative Development Centres, expanding capacity, and investing in capabilities that enhance innovation, execution, and customer engagement across markets. These initiatives are not designed for short-term outcomes, but to position the Company for sustainable and profitable growth over the long term. While the benefits will accrue progressively, we believe this is the right point in the cycle to invest for the future. As these capabilities scale, they will strengthen our competitive position and enable us to drive consistent value creation for many years to come.” B. Ramakrishnan, CEO, Fragrances, Asia & U.S.A., said: “The US market represents a significant strategic opportunity for us, and we are making steady progress in building our presence there. During the quarter, the US Creative Development Centre secured its first customer order and began generating initial revenues, marking an important early milestone in our entry into the world’s largest flavours and fragrances market.” Jagdish Agarwal, Group Chief Financial Officer, SH Kelkar and Company, said: “I am excited to be part of SH Kelkar at a time when the Company is investing to build the next phase of growth. It is a leadership business with strong customer relationships, deep capabilities, and significant long-term potential.” During the nine months ended FY2026, the Company delivered steady revenue growth in a challenging operating environment. Gross margins remained broadly stable during the period, while EBITDA margins reflected the costs associated with growth-led strategic initiatives. As I step into this role, my focus will be on strengthening the Company’s financial discipline while supporting its ongoing investment phase. We remain committed to maintaining a prudent capital structure, even as debt levels may see a near-term increase in line with the execution of our strategic initiatives. Alongside this, we see scope to improve working capital efficiency, which will be an important lever in supporting balance sheet strength over time. We are also focused on strengthening cash conversion and improving the translation of operating performance into bottom-line outcomes. While these initiatives will take time to fully play out, our approach will be structured and disciplined, with the benefits expected to emerge progressively over the medium term.” Result PDF
