Marico sees copra prices ease 35% from peak, but crude-linked costs and vegetable oil inflation pose risks

Marico reported a significant expansion in gross margins due to a 35% decrease in copra prices. The company achieved a 27% year-on-year growth in consolidated EBITDA, indicating strong profitability. While Parachute volumes grew, revenue growth was limited primarily due to prior price reductions. Marico cautioned about ongoing inflation in crude-linked derivatives and vegetable oils impacting future margins.
