Water purifier manufacturer Eureka Forbes reported an 83.2% increase in standalone net profit to Rs 46.67 crore in the second quarter ending September of the financial year 2024-25, compared to Rs 25.47 crore in the same quarter the previous year.

Pratik Pota, chief executive and managing director of Eureka Forbes said, “Growth continued to be broad-based and product business grew in excess of 20%. The impact of growth led to operating leverage benefits and despite the sharp step up in advertising investments, adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 106 bps and Profit after Tax grew 83% year on year.”

The quarterly performance is driven by innovations across water and cleaning, increased marketing investments and the onset of an earlier festive season, Pota added.
