Management said gross margins improved by about 110 basis points despite an inflationary environment, and EBITDA margin was sustained at 7%, similar to Quarter 4 of the prior year. Management also discussed category-level performance across Popcorn, Culinary, premium staples, Italian foods and Peanut Butter, along with progress on e-commerce growth, salesforce automation, and merger synergies between Sundrop and Del Monte.

Sundrop Brands reported consolidated revenue growth of 11% for Q4 FY26 and 10% for the full year, with EBITDA margin expanding to about 7.2% in the quarter and 5.7% for the full year, excluding one-off and ESOP expenses. Management attributed the margin gains to cost efficiencies in manufacturing and logistics, while noting that the Del Monte Olive Oil business saw value decline due to commodity price deflation passed on to consumers despite strong volume growth. The company also discussed integration plans between Sundrop and Del Monte, including a common ERP platform and sales force data harmonization expected over the next 12-24 months.
