ITC Limited reported a 27.6% year-on-year increase in revenue from operations to ₹29,523 crore for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 (Q1 FY2026-27). However, profit before exceptional items and tax fell 23.9% to ₹5,369 crore, as a sharp rise in expenses more than offset the revenue gain. An exceptional gain of ₹406 crore provided partial relief, but net profit still declined 15.6% to ₹4,509 crore. The quarter was marked by a clear divergence between top-line expansion and bottom-line contraction.
Revenue from operations rose to ₹29,523 crore from ₹23,129 crore in Q1 FY2025-26, a gain of ₹6,394 crore. Profit before exceptional items and tax declined from ₹7,059 crore to ₹5,369 crore, a drop of ₹1,690 crore. Sequentially, revenue increased 23.9% from Q4 FY2025-26, while pre-exceptional profit fell by the same percentage. The decline in profit despite the revenue increase indicates that total expenses grew by more than the additional revenue. Other unallocable income (net) rose to ₹905 crore from ₹506 crore a year earlier, providing a partial offset, but the overall cost pressure remained substantial.
Exceptional items before tax were a gain of ₹406 crore in Q1 FY2026-27, compared with nil in the same quarter last year. This gain increased profit before tax to ₹5,775 crore, down 18.2% from ₹7,059 crore a year earlier. While the exceptional item softened the profit decline, the underlying pre-exceptional performance remains the more telling measure of operating results.
Finance costs rose from ₹16 crore to ₹40 crore, a 141.5% increase. Despite the large percentage change, the absolute increase of ₹23 crore is small relative to revenue and profit, and does not explain the profit compression. The primary cost pressure lies elsewhere in the income statement.
Segment revenue from operations (external) was ₹29,410 crore, up 27.8% year on year, closely aligned with consolidated revenue of ₹29,523 crore. Inter-segment revenue—internal sales between divisions—was ₹5,702 crore, up 6.2% from ₹5,370 crore a year ago. The much slower growth in inter-segment revenue indicates that the revenue expansion was driven primarily by third-party sales rather than increased intra-group transfers. The inter-segment figure remains substantial, reflecting the conglomerate’s integrated supply chain.
Net profit for the period was ₹4,509 crore, down 15.6% year on year. Profit from continuing operations was ₹4,423 crore, down 16.1%. The gap between total profit and profit from continuing operations widened to ₹86 crore from ₹69 crore a year earlier.
ITC’s first quarter was defined by a clear divergence: revenue grew 27.6%, yet profit before exceptional items contracted by 23.9%. The additional revenue was more than consumed by higher costs, leading to a sharp drop in profitability. An exceptional gain provided partial relief but did not alter the underlying trend. The quarter highlights a significant cost challenge that overwhelmed the benefit of top-line expansion.
