STEADY REVENUE, IMPROVED EARNINGS AMID GST, TARIFF OVERHANG
NOIDA, India: November 13, 2025 - UFlex Limited (BSE: 500148, NSE: UFLEX), India’s largest integrated flexible packaging and solutions company, reported second quarter fiscal 2026 unaudited consolidated net revenue of Rs.38,610 million. Normalized EBITDA for the quarter was Rs.3,895 million, and normalized EBITDA margin was 10.1%. Net profit after non-controlling interest for the quarter was Rs.269 million.
The Board of Directors, in its meeting held on November 13, 2025, has approved and taken on record the unaudited consolidated financial results of UFlex Limited and its subsidiaries for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Q2FY26: Earnings show promise, steady revenue manifests resilience
UFlex reported net profit of Rs.269 million (vs net loss of Rs.646 million in Q2 FY25), underpinned by stable revenue during the quarter. On a six-month basis, H1 FY26 net profit of Rs.849 million (vs net loss of Rs 1,631 million) along with steady revenue growth of 3.2% YoY, reflecting the Company’s resilience and operational strength in a challenging business environment. The quarter faced several headwinds, including the U.S. imposition of reciprocal and secondary tariffs (25% each) on Indian imports, heightened geopolitical tensions and transitional challenges following the rollout of India’s new GST framework and an elongated rainy season. These collectively impacted the growth forecasts.
UFlex’s diversified manufacturing footprint across nine global locations is well-positioned to navigate through ongoing tariff-related headwinds effectively. Notably, exports from the UFlex Mexico plant to the United States

remain insulated under the USMCA (replaced NAFTA [##] among United States, Mexico, and Canada since 2018). In India, the GST transition led to short-term operational adjustments; however, over the long term, the reform’s emphasis on rate rationalization and tax simplification is expected to improve market efficiency, boost household disposable income, consumer sentiment, stimulate consumption and drive further volume growth.

Packaging Business: Flexible Packaging, Aseptic Liquid Packaging, and Holography
In Q2 FY26, the packaging business segment, comprising Flexible Packaging, Aseptic Liquid Packaging, and Holography, reported flat sales volume growth on a year-on-year basis. However, in H1 FY26, sales volume increased by 5.8% to 76,633 MT compared to 72,400 MT in H1 FY25, reflecting sustained demand momentum across key packaging categories. Our packaging business achieved moderate growth in H1 FY26 despite GST transition in India, softer consumer spending, weaker industry performance and inclement weather.
Packaging business long-term outlook remains robust; Overall FMCG volume growth in India stayed modest though Q2 FY26 was a challenging quarter for packaging companies in India. The combined impact of policy reforms and

unusually cooler summer across several regions led to dampened consumer spending and demand. As a result, many summer-linked seasonal FMCG product categories, including beverages and fruit juices, witnessed a weaker-thanexpected seasonal volumes.
A key development during the quarter was the Government’s implementation of the revised GST framework. The reform, centered on rate rationalization and tax structure simplification, represents a positive step toward improving market efficiency and stimulating consumption. In the long term, it is expected to enhance disposable income, strengthen affordability, increase consumer confidence and support sustained demand growth.

EPR policy update and amendment for flexible packaging products:
Several brand owners have initiated a gradual inclusion of recycled materials in their flexible packaging SKUs as guided by The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) through its draft notification proposing amendments to the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016.
A key proposed change pertains to the use of recycled plastic content in food-contact plastic packaging -
“The producer may be allowed to carry forward any shortfall in fulfilment of mandatory use of recycled plastic in plastic packaging for the year 2025-26, for a period of three years starting from 2026-27, over and above the target mandated for those years.”

Consolidated packaging films production volume remained subdued at 120,644 MT in Q2 FY26 (vs 128,880 MT YoY). While India, UAE, CIS, and Mexico reported positive production volume growth, this was partly moderated by output from Egypt, Hungary, Poland, the USA, and Nigeria. As a result, capacity utilization for the quarter stood at 75.9%. Packaging films sales volume was correspondingly lower at 125,245 MT (vs 131,343 MT YoY).
India Packaging Film: Strong Performance in Q2; GST Reforms to enhance better growth in H2
UFlex India’s packaging films capacity utilization improved to 79.7% in Q2 FY26 (vs 77.1% YoY). The higher utilization supported a 3.4% YoY increase in production volume to 32,726 MT (vs 31,636 MT YoY). For the first half of FY26, capacity utilization stood at 80.2% (vs 73.3% YoY), resulting in a 9.4% growth in production volume. This improvement reflects enhanced operational efficiency and a more supportive business environment.
In Q2 FY26, the company recorded healthy growth in packaging films sales volume, rising 17.8% YoY. On a half-year basis, sales volume increased by a robust 24.5% to 65,587 MT (vs 52,682 MT YoY), supported by steady performance across key segments.
India’s Panipat virgin PET chips plant operated at a capacity utilization of 72.4% in Q2 FY26 (vs 74.3% YoY). Thirdparty sales volume from the plant reached 20,046 MT in Q2 FY26 (vs 16,358 MT YoY), increased by 24.7% year-onyear led by favorable seasonal demand.
Demand for packaging SKUs (stock keeping units) and related raw materials, including PET chips and packaging films, remained relatively subdued during the quarter, primarily due to short-term disruptions from the GST transition, which led businesses to defer new orders and focus on destocking pre-reform inventory, while consumers delayed purchases in anticipation of lower pricing.
Americas Region (USA & Mexico): New replenishment of films post destocking since April to drive growth
In Q2 FY26, sales volumes in the Americas was 26,019 MT (vs 30,899 MT YoY), primarily due to the spillover impact of evolving tariff-related uncertainties, elongated high food inflation and subdued consumer sentiment. The capacity utilization for UFlex’s packaging films in the Americas in Q2 FY26 was 80.5% (vs 94.9% YoY), partially impacted by an addition of 18,000 MTPA CPP line (since March 2025), which is expected to ramp up gradually in FY26. The production volume was 21,732 MT (vs 21,344 MT YoY). Mexico’s BOPET capacity utilization improved by 70 bps QoQ.
Operating Backdrop in Americas
In the U.S., inflationary pressures were evident during the quarter. The CPI-U (All Items) rose to 2.9% in Q2 FY26 (+40 bps QoQ, +30 bps YoY) from 2.5% in Q1 FY26. Food inflation increased to 3.1% (+20 bps QoQ, +90 bps YoY) from 2.9% in Q1 FY26 and 2.2% in Q2 FY25. Persistently elevated inflation and food prices continued to put pressure on household budgets, prompting consumers to prioritize essentials and prefer buying smaller pack sizes and privatelabel products while delaying discretionary purchases to offset higher living costs.
Additionally, the evolving U.S. tariff environment has created uncertainty, leading to cautious business sentiment, delayed purchasing and softer demand across North America. UFlex Ltd., with operations across nine geographies, remains well positioned to navigate these challenges. Products manufactured at its Mexico facility, including BOPET and CPP films, rPET chips, and WPP bags, qualify under the USMCA framework, ensuring duty-free access to the U.S. market and providing a strong competitive advantage over non-USMCA suppliers.

Europe (Hungary, Poland, CIS): Demand before festive season may improve growth, realization in H2
In the European region, UFlex packaging film production volume declined by 7.2% YoY in Q2 FY26, reaching 32,191 MT (vs 34,671 MT YoY). Capacity utilization was 78.0% in Q2 FY26 (vs 84.1% YoY). The sales volume in the region was subdued with 11.4% YoY decline in the backdrop of challenging market conditions.
During the quarter, inflationary pressures in Europe edged higher by 20 basis points YoY to 2.5% in Q2 FY26. Meanwhile, industrial producer prices for non-durable consumer goods increased by 2.1% YoY, reflecting elevated input costs across the FMCG value chain. Additionally, geopolitical uncertainty and evolving U.S. tariff situation impacted European exports, adding to the overall demand sluggishness in the region.

On the consumption front, retail trade volumes in food, beverages, and tobacco, a key demand driver for flexible packaging, declined by 0.2% YoY in Q2 FY26 (vs 0.4% growth in Q1 FY26). Additionally, industrial production in the EU fell 1% month-on-month in August 2025, underscoring broader weakness in manufacturing activity. Low-priced imports in the European market further decrease the headroom for price increase opportunities in packaging films segment, exerting pressure on margins and leading to lower realizations. These factors collectively created a challenging operating backdrop in Q2 FY26, resulting in a decline in packaging film sales volumes and reduced realizations across Hungary and Poland operations.
MEA (Dubai, Egypt, Nigeria) Region: Markets to reclaim upswing post destocking of the redirected US exports
In Q2 FY26, UFlex’s packaging film plants in the MEA region operated at 68.3% capacity utilization (vs 82.9% YoY). Production volume was 33,996 MT in Q2 FY26 (vs 41,229 MT YoY), as lower exports from the Nigeria plant due to impositions of reciprocal tariff by USA on Nigeria. However, the sales volume in Nigeria’s domestic market rose 9.0% QoQ in Q2 FY26, where UFlex continues to hold a market share of over 70% in BOPET films. As a result, exports from Nigeria moderated, causing the export share of total sales volume from the plant to 19.2% in Q2 FY26 (vs 26.8% in Q1 FY26).
Amid increased inflows of lower-priced South Asian BOPET packaging films into Dubai (as 50% additional tariff in US forced redirection of US exports to MEA markets), UFlex Dubai operation maintained a disciplined and value-led selective sales approach. This strategy moderated volumes in the short term while safeguarding margins during the quarter.
During Q2 FY26, MEA sales volumes registered a decline of 5.3% YoY and 2.8% sequentially, mainly attributable to lower sales contributions from Egypt and Nigeria.
Capital Expenditure: Investing in tomorrow
During the quarter, the company incurred total capital expenditure of approximately Rs. 4,908 million. This was primarily allocated to three key projects: USD 13.2 million (Rs 1,173 million) for aseptic packaging facility in Egypt, USD 8.6 million (Rs. 761 million) for the WPP bag manufacturing unit in Mexico and Rs 380 million for PET and MLP recycling unit at Noida. The balance was directed towards other announced and routine capital expenditure across various units. (Exchange rate: USD 1 = INR 88.79, Q2 FY26).
Proposed capacity expansion to meet growing domestic demand
To address the rising demand for packaging films in India, UFlex Ltd has proposed a capacity addition of 54,000 MTPA at Dharwad, Karnataka with a total capital expenditure outlay of Rs 7,154 million. The new capacity is planned to be commissioned during FY 2027–28, strengthening the Company’s domestic manufacturing capabilities and supporting long-term growth in the packaging films segment.
Mexico: WPP plant with an annual production capacity of 80 million bags
To meet the growing demand for pet food packaging, UFlex is setting up a woven polypropylene (WPP) bags manufacturing unit in Mexico. The project has a planned capital outlay of approximately USD 50 million, of which approximately Rs. 4,387 million (USD 49.7 million) has been incurred as of September 2025.

Egypt: Aseptic Liquid Packaging Facility with 12 billion Carton Packs Annual Capacity
Since the project announced, approximately USD 82.53 million (~Rs. 7,328 million) of the total estimated capex of USD 126 million (~Rs. 11,188 million) has been spent. The remaining USD 43.5 million (~Rs. 3,860 million) will be invested leading to the commissioning of the plant.
India: PET, MLP recycling unit with an annual capacity of 39,600 MT
With increasing emphasis on sustainability and supportive legislation, UFlex plans to set up two recycling units at a new facility in Noida to process 36,000 MTPA PCR PET bottles and 3,600 MTPA mixed plastic (MLP) waste in India. Since the project announcement, approximately Rs.850 million of the total estimated capex of Rs.3,171 million has been spent. The remaining Rs.2,321million will be invested leading up to the commissioning of the plant in FY26.
Commenting on the results, Mr. Ashok Chaturvedi, Chairman and Managing Director, UFlex Group, said, “Q2 FY26 was marked by tariff disruptions, GST transition, and a prolonged monsoon, which had an impact on operations. However, on a positive note, the tariff issues are likely to be settled soon, and GST rationalization will significantly boost consumption, which is positive for the industry, and will be a strong growth catalyst going forward. With the headwinds behind us, we strongly believe that the business is set for strong growth, and our ongoing capacity expansion programs will set the tone for positive momentum.
During the period, we commissioned brownfield capacity expansion at our aseptic packaging plant in Sanand, increasing capacity from 7 billion to 12 billion packs per annum. This enhances our ability to meet the growing demand for aseptic packaging solutions in both domestic and international markets.
The EPR rollout in India will accelerate the demand for more sustainable packaging solutions and presents an opportunity for us to collaborate more closely with FMCG brand owners to deliver innovative, high-quality, and ecofriendly packaging that reaches millions of households across India.
Our strategic capex investments are nearing completion. A 12 billion pack per annum greenfield aseptic packaging plant in Egypt, an 80 million unit per annum WPP bags facility in Mexico, and close to 40,000 MTPA PET and flexible waste recycling plant in Noida are on track”
Mr. Rajesh Bhatia, Group president and CFO, UFlex Limited, said, "UFlex delivered robust earnings and steady revenue in H1 FY26, successfully navigating the transitional GST environment and tariff overhang. Total revenue grew 3.2% year-on-year, with EBITDA up 4.1%. Net profit in H1 FY26 turned positive at Rs.849 million. This performance underscores our operational excellence and focus, while our mid- to long-term fundamentals remain strong.
India’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework is expected to spur healthy demand for recycled packaging materials across the food packaging value chain going forward. UFlex is well ahead of this regulatory curve with its fully integrated recycling ecosystem—producing rPET chips, PCR PET ‘Asclepius’ films, and single-pellet PET chips blending virgin and recycled PET in a 70±:30± ratio. Our portfolio of end-to-end recycled SKUs, including rTubes, rPouches, and rAseptic carton packs, underscores our commitment to sustainable innovation and strengthens our position as a trusted partner helping customers meet evolving regulatory and environmental standards.
Looking ahead, easing inflation, structural tailwinds from GST rationalization, lower interest rates supported by the RBI’s liquidity measures, income tax relief announced in the Union Budget, increased government spending, and a progressively easing trade policy environment are expected to strengthen consumption momentum. UFlex is strategically positioned to leverage these macro tailwinds and drive sustainable, long-term organic growth across global markets. Additionally, ongoing capacity rollouts, including the 12 billion-pack Asepto facility in Egypt, the 80

million WPP line in Mexico, and the 39,900 MTPA recycling facility in Noida, will serve as catalysts for incremental growth.”
Recycling & Sustainability: Keeping plastic where it belongs – In the Economy
Sustainability remains at the core of UFlex’s strategy as the Company fosters a circular economy. In H1 FY26, UFlex made notable strides in plastic recycling, having processed 372 million PCR PET bottles and 4,940 metric tons of MLP waste.
As per India’s EPR mandate, effective April 1, 2025, requires brand owners to incorporate recycled content in plastic packaging by FY26: 30% in rigid (Category-1), 10% in flexible plastic (Category-2), and 5% in multi-material flexible formats (Category-3).
A key proposed update relates to recycled plastic use in food-contact packaging has been notified by GOI as there have been shortfall in supplying FSSAI-approved food grade recycled plastics since April 2025. Under this change, Producers may carry forward any shortfall in meeting the 2025–26 recycled plastic content requirement for up to three years, in addition to the mandated targets for those years.
UFlex introduced a single-pellet solution in June 2025 and plans to begin commercial production of SSP-grade singlepellet PET chips for food packaging by FY27. The product combines virgin and recycled PET in a 70±:30± ratio, offering ready-to-use material for food and beverage packaging. This innovation is expected to be a game-changer for brands aiming to meet new EPR requirements.
