Galaxy Surfactants Limited, a leading manufacturer of performance surfactants and specialty care products with over 215 product grades catering to the Home and Personal Care industry, has announced its consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

For the quarter, the company reported total revenue of Rs.1,289.2 crore, reflecting a 31.6 per cent  increase over Rs. 979.5 crore in the same period last year and an 11.8 per cent rise compared to the previous quarter. EBITDA stood at Rs. 135.1 crore, up 4.3per cent year-on-year, while Profit After Tax (PAT) remained stable at Rs. 79.5 crore. EBITDA margins stood at 10.5 per cent, and PAT margins at 6.2 per cent.

Commenting on the results, K. Natarajan, Managing Director of Galaxy Surfactants Limited, said that volumes grew 5 per cent year-on-year and nearly double-digit sequentially across both performance surfactant and specialty care segments, indicating an improvement across all regions. In India, the market remained flat compared to last year but showed double-digit growth sequentially, supported by strategic product portfolio adjustments, a good monsoon, interest rate cuts, and rural stimulus measures.

In the AMET region, challenges in Egypt and Turkey were offset by resilient demand in the Gulf and Sub-Saharan Africa. The company’s agile supply chain management ensured continuity of operations despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. The Rest of the World region emerged as the strongest growth driver with a robust 16per cent year-on-year increase, fueled by demand in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific, while Europe delivered a richer product mix in alignment with Galaxy’s Vision 2030.

Despite facing supply-side challenges, including tight raw material availability and regional congestion, Galaxy successfully mitigated the impact through effective price pass-through mechanisms and prudent inventory management, Natarajan added.

Performance surfactants contributed Rs. 840.5 crore in revenue, while specialty care products generated Rs. 448.6 crore. Overall volume growth remained in the mid-single digits year-on-year.

Reaffirming the company’s long-term strategy, Natarajan emphasized that innovation, agility, and sustainability remain central to Galaxy Surfactants’ operations, positioning the company to navigate market complexities and deliver enduring value to its stakeholders.
