Buoyed by strong demand for its grooming products, Gillette India Ltd., which is 75% owned by Procter & Gamble, reported a 5.9% rise in first-quarter profit. Net profit rose to $10.52 million for the three months ended Sept. 30, a company statement said.
Demand for branded personal care products from high-income consumers has increased. With prices of certain commodities softening, profits for fast-moving consumer goods companies are expected to improve, according to analysts.
Gillette, which makes shaving systems and cartridges, as well as Oral B toothbrushes, said its quarterly revenue from operations rose 8.2%. While revenue from its grooming segment rose 15.8%, revenue from its oral care products unit fell 13.5%.
