Commenting on the results MD and CEO Pratik Pota said: "In an uncertain and evolving external environment, Q2 FY26 was an exciting milestone quarter for us. We delivered a strong revenue growth of 14.9 per cent YoY and EBITDA crossed Rs 100 crore for the first time at a lifetime high margin of 13.1 per cent." Eureka Forbes' revenue growth came on the back of a high-teens growth in products, with all categories growing well.

"In water, growth came on the back of a scale up of our two-year range which reduces the cost of ownership significantly. In cleaning, the biggest engine of growth was the robotics segment which performed well across all channels. With this quarter, we have now delivered double digit product growth in every single quarter in the last two years," he said.

The key building blocks of our strategy are falling in place and showing clear and meaningful results."
