- Cello World presents itself as a multi-category consumer products company spanning Consumerware, Writing Instruments and Moulded Furniture, with FY26 revenue of Rs. 2,323.7 crore
📉 Q2 FY27 consolidated revenue from operations was Rs. 633.2 crore, up 8% year on year, but EBITDA fell 4% to Rs. 135.0 crore (margin 21.3% against 24.0%) and profit after tax fell 10% to Rs. 81.9 crore (margin 12.9% against 15.5%). For H1 FY27 revenue was Rs. 1,159.9 crore, up 4%, while EBITDA was down 6% and profit after tax down 10% at Rs. 155.3 crore.

Gross margin still improved by approximately 70 bps YoY to 50.2%, which management credits to a favourable product mix.
📈 For the full year FY26, revenue from operations was Rs. 2,323.7 crore against Rs. 2,136.4 crore in FY25, while EBITDA slipped to Rs. 526.4 crore from Rs. 554.7 crore and profit after tax to Rs. 331.5 crore from Rs. 364.6 crore; the FY26 profit line carries a Rs. 7.4 crore exceptional item for gratuity and leave liability arising from labour law changes.
