P&G Hygiene and Health's Q3 earnings boosted by 1.1% to INR 156 crore
Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Limited saw a 1.1% increase in profit after tax for the quarter ending March 31, 2025, reaching INR 156.10 crore. Though revenue from operations decreased by 1.05% to INR 991.63 crore during the same period, cost-cutting measures and possibly a more favorable sales mix appear to have contributed to the positive net profit result.
According to some reports, the company's total expenses for the quarter rose by approximately 11.24% to INR 791.10 crore, but official audited financials show only a modest increase in overall expenses, suggesting better expense management.
The company's other income, which stood at INR 19.1 crore for the quarter, may have helped offset the dip in operational revenue, contributing to a total income of INR 1,010.8 crore for the quarter.
It is worth noting that while total expenses appear to have grown, this increase may not be consistent across all categories. The company's financial filings show only a small increase in overall expenses for the quarter.
The company may have also achieved cost savings through improved operational efficiency or cost controls, despite some areas experiencing rising costs. A shift in product mix favoring higher-margin items could also have boosted profitability.
In response to rising costs, Procter & Gamble may have implemented various cost-saving measures, refined their product offerings, or achieved operational efficiencies, which proved beneficial to their bottom line despite lower sales.
In the financial year 2024, Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Limited reported a profit after tax of INR 154.4 crore for the same period. Hence, the recent increase in net profit represents a promising development for the company.

The increase in Procter & Gamble's profit after tax for the financial quarter, despite a decrease in revenue from operations, might be attributed to cost-cutting measures and a potential shift towards a more profitable sales mix (business, finance, investing). The company's financial filings indicate that there was only a small increase in overall expenses for the quarter, which may suggest better expense management (business, finance, health). Given the company's past financial performance, the recent increase in net profit represents a promising development for Procter & Gamble (business, finance, advertising).
