Jan 29 (Reuters) - Gillette India's GILE.NS third-quarter profit jumped about 37% on Thursday, as demand stayed robust for its staple men's grooming products, including shaving razors and creams.

The company, a unit of U.S. consumer goods major Procter & Gamble PG.N, posted a profit of 1.72 billion rupees ($18.70 million), compared to 1.26 billion rupees a year ago.

Demand for men's grooming products is driven by urbanisation, rising incomes and a young population that considers such items as low‑ticket daily essentials.

Shares of Gillette India, also home to Oral-B, Venus and Braun brands, were up around 5% after the results.

The grooming segment revenue, which accounts for more than 80% of the company's total revenue, increased about 13% to 6.47 billion rupees during the reported quarter, while its smaller oral care segment rose 24%.

The company's total revenue from operations climbed 15% to 7.9 billion rupees.

Facing competition from Bombay Shaving Company in razors and Philips in trimmers, Gillette India has broadened its portfolio aimed at varied facial-hair preferences, alongside products targeted at women.

Gillette India said it did not see a material impact after India notified new labour codes, the country's biggest overhaul of workers' laws in decades, adding that its current salary structure is in line with the requirements.

Last week, its parent's second-quarter revenue fell slightly short of Wall Street expectations as weak spending by U.S. consumers and the hit from a government shutdown offset stronger growth globally.

July 31 (Reuters) - Gillette India GILE.NS reported a 25.6% increase in profit for the quarter ended June 30 on Thursday, helped by robust demand for its grooming products.

The Procter & Gamble PG.N-owned company, known for its razors and shaving creams, reported 1.46 billion rupees ($16.7 million) in profit, compared with 1.16 billion rupees in the same period a year earlier.

Gillette India is getting a boost from rising demand for its latest grooming gear, as self-care becomes mainstream. Sleek upgrades like the Gillette Guard and elevated Mach 3 razors are gaining traction, with strong interest in premium products adding a lift to its revenue.

The company said in June that consumers are prioritising value over cost, showing a growing willingness to spend more on products that deliver superior performance.

Revenue from its mainstay grooming segment, which produces razors and accounts for over 80% of the company's total revenue, increased 11% to 5.77 billion rupees during the reported quarter.

Meanwhile, revenue from its smaller segment, oral care, rose 3.3%.

The company's revenue from operations rose 9.5% year-on-year to 7.07 billion rupees, while total expenses rose 4.7%, led by a 19.4% growth in advertising and sales promotion expenses.

Gillette India's shares rose 2.2% to 10,871 rupees in Mumbai.

Feb 10 (Reuters) - Gillette India GILE.NS posted a higher second-quarter profit on Monday, driven by strong demand for its grooming products.

Gillette India, known for its razors and shaving creams, posted a profit of 1.26 billion rupees ($14.4 million) for the quarter ended December 31, compared with 1.04 billion rupees a year earlier.

The company continues to see strong demand for its new products and designs, including its multi-blade systems and gel shaving creams, while sustained demand for its higher-priced products has further boosted its revenue.

Rural consumer demand in India has gathered pace over the last few quarters, while urban demand has slowed down.

Revenue from the core grooming segment, which produces razors and accounts for about 80% to Gillette India's total revenue, increased 11% to 5.71 billion rupees during the reported quarter. Sales from its smaller segment, oral care, dropped more than 8%.

The company has also been ramping up its advertising spend in an effort to compete with private labels offering cheaper alternatives.

Its advertising and promotion expenses rose nearly 30%, widening its total quarterly expenses by 4%.

Shares of Gillette India were down 1.6% after the results amid a broadly weaker market. .BO

BENGALURU, April 29 (Reuters) - Gillette India GILE.NS posted a nearly 4% fall in third-quarter profit on Monday as stiff domestic competition dampened demand.

Gillette India, known for its Mach 3 brand of shaving razors, reported a profit of 990.9 million rupees ($11.9 million) for the January-March quarter, compared with 1.03 billion rupees a year earlier.

Consumer goods makers are increasingly facing strong competition from smaller manufacturers who are better equipped to occupy shelf space due to declining commodity prices.

Revenue from Gillette's core grooming segment, which accounts for 82% of the total, rose nearly 14% to 5.58 billion rupees, while the cost of raw materials consumed fell 6.3%.

Parent and consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble Co PG.N had raised its annual core profit forecast earlier in April, driven by price increases and resilient demand.

Gillette India's shares dipped 0.8% ahead of the results. It rose 1.2% in the March quarter, compared with a 5.3% fall in the Nifty FMCG index .NIFTYFMCG.

KEY CONTEXT

Gillette is capitalising on the changing consumer preferences in India in recent years, as a significant number of consumers, particularly the rising middle-class, favour branded products over unbranded local alternatives.

The surge in the company's second-quarter profit follows a single-digit growth in the previous quarter.

Rival Colgate-Palmolive (India) COLG.NS reported a 35.7% jump in the December-quarter profit, aided by healthy urban demand and a fall in expenses.

Oct 31 (Reuters) - Gillette India GILE.NS, known for its shaving razors, posted a nearly 7% rise in its quarterly profit on Tuesday, as moderating inflation helped lift demand for its grooming products, including in the country's hinterlands.
