Nykaa Q1 Results: FSN E-Commerce Ventures Reports Triple Profit on Strong Revenue Growth

Led by founder and Executive Chairperson Falguni Nayar, the company recorded healthy double-digit growth in revenue while significantly improving margins, highlighting continued momentum despite a challenging consumption environment. The latest earnings also reflect Nykaa's ongoing focus on expanding its physical retail footprint and strengthening its quick-commerce presence across the country.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27), Nykaa reported a net profit of Rs 79.76 crore, more than three times higher than the Rs 24.47 crore posted in the corresponding quarter last year.

On a sequential basis, profit remained largely stable after the company had reported Rs 78 crore in the March quarter, indicating that the retailer was able to sustain its improved profitability despite continued investments in business expansion.

Revenue Climbs Nearly 30% on Strong Consumer Demand

The Mumbai-headquartered beauty and fashion retailer reported revenue from operations of Rs 2,782 crore, registering a 29% year-on-year increase from Rs 2,155 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue also improved sequentially from Rs 2,648 crore reported in the previous quarter, reflecting sustained customer demand across Nykaa's beauty, personal care and fashion platforms.

The strong top-line performance indicates that consumer spending remained resilient during the quarter, with the company continuing to benefit from its premium product portfolio, growing online customer base and expanding offline presence.

Nykaa delivered a notable improvement in operating performance during the June quarter. Gross profit increased 33% year-on-year to Rs 1,276 crore, while EBITDA rose 68% compared with the same period last year to Rs 236 crore.

The company's EBITDA margin expanded to 8.5%, up from 6.5% a year earlier, marking its highest operating margin in the past 12 quarters. The improvement suggests that Nykaa continued to enhance operational efficiency while maintaining healthy sales growth across its businesses.
