Whirlpool Q2 FY27: Revenue Up 14% to Rs 1,873 Cr; EBITDA Margin Falls 140 bps to 2.1%
Whirlpool of India reported consolidated revenue from operations of Rs 1,873 Cr for Q2 FY27, marking a 14% YoY increase driven by volume growth, pricing, and premiumisation. Despite healthy topline growth, profitability shrank with consolidated EBITDA dropping to Rs 40 Cr (2.1% margin, down 140 bps YoY) and PBT before exceptional items falling to Rs 34 Cr (down 110 bps YoY). Margin compression was driven by commodity inflation, currency depreciation, new energy regulation costs, and launch expenses for its premium 'Luxuriem' refrigerator line. To counter input costs, the company enacted a ~5% price increase effective November 1, 2026, while subsidiary Elica India delivered 12% revenue and 22% PBT growth.

Whirlpool Q1 FY27: Record Revenue and 50% AC Growth Amid Margin Pressure
Whirlpool of India reported record revenue growth in Q1 FY27, highlighted by a 50%+ surge in the Air Conditioner segment and triple-digit basis point market share gains in front-load washers. Despite strong top-line performance, margins were significantly impacted by high crude oil prices and regulatory costs (energy and e-waste) that could not be fully recovered through pricing due to competitive dynamics. The company achieved a net negative working capital position, recovering previous investments in the AC segment. Management also detailed a new ESOP structure for senior leadership, moving to 100% performance-linked cliff vesting after three years to align with shareholder interests.
