Mumbai: Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd. (PGHHCL) announced today its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.
The company delivered sales of Rs 792 crores, up 20% vs. Year ago, behind brand fundamentals, strength of the product portfolio and improved in-store execution.
The operating profit for the quarter grew 17%, as increasing costs due to inflation and currency depreciation were partly off-set by a continual focus on productivity and savings. The all in profit after tax (PAT) including one-time gain from sale of assets (Rs. 14 crores) is up 25% vs. year ago.
Madhusudan Gopalan, Managing Director, Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd.
