During the quarter, Colgate recognized a one-time employee benefit expense of Rs 8.39 crore as an exceptional item following amendments under the new labour code notified by the Government of India.

Prabha Narasimhan, managing director & CEO of Colgate-Palmolive (India), said, ?In the third quarter, our business saw a return to growth, driven by early positive signs in our core portfolio and sustained strong performance in the premium segment. Both urban and rural trade channels experienced improved momentum throughout the quarter, indicating a recovery following the disruption caused by the implementation of revised GST rates.

We also accelerated brand investments to further advance our strategy of premiumization within the oral care category. We expect our growth momentum to accelerate going forward, driven by an improving demand environment and our intense focus on on-the-ground and superior execution.

On the margin front, we maintained a robust gross margin profile for the quarter driven by strict financial discipline through our funding the growth program. Q3 FY26 margin was at 69.7%, ahead of the trailing quarter by +50 bps. The net profit growth was after the impact of regulatory changes, including the introduction of the new labour code and the inverted duty structure-related charge due to GST changes.
