- The newsletter headline states net sales growth of 12.2% and describes it as the second consecutive quarter of double-digit domestic growth.
- It also states net profit after tax growth of 5.5%, excluding one-offs. The two profit figures above are the reported figures as printed in the table.
Dividend
- The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on October 22, 2026, approved the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 and declared a First Interim Dividend of Rs. 24 per share for the financial year 2026-27.
- This is the first interim dividend for the year; the newsletter does not attach a record date or payment date to it.
Business highlights
- The company has partnered with Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, using Amitabh Bachchan's prime-time sign-offs to drive a nationwide night-brushing movement.
- The Colgate PerioGard portfolio has become the first in India to receive the Indian Society of Periodontology (ISP) Seal of Acceptance; the ISP is described as India's premier professional and scientific body for periodontology and implant dentistry.
- The company reports a World Record for the Largest Multi-Location Oral Screening Programme, reaching over 308,106 students across CBSE-affiliated schools in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry within a 10-day sprint.
- That screening was run with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), CBSE and the Indian Dental Association (IDA) of Tamil Nadu.
For shareholders
- A special window is open from February 5, 2026 to February 4, 2027 for re-lodgement of transfer requests of physical shares relating to transfer deeds lodged prior to April 1, 2019. Shares re-lodged for transfer will be issued only in demat form.
- Shareholders holding shares in physical form who have not claimed their dividends can update KYC details and claim them; those holding in demat form can update KYC through their depository participants.
- The 1st Interim Dividend for the financial year 2019-20 will be transferred to the IEPF on November 24, 2026, and shareholders are asked to claim it from the company within the stipulated timeline.
In short: the newsletter packages the quarter's headline sales and profit numbers, an interim dividend declaration and brand and institutional updates in one communication to shareholders. It also sets out two dated action points for shareholders — the re-lodgement window for old physical share transfer requests and the IEPF cut-off for the FY 2019-20 first interim dividend.
