Our reported Consolidated gross margin improved sharply by 470 bps year-on-year and 100 bps quarter-on-quarter. Our EBITDA margin, too, improved by 280 bps year-on-year despite continued media investments, which increased by 32% year-on-year. We continue to remain focused on driving volume-led growth along with healthy investments in our brands and improvement in profitability. We have launched two new products in the Indian market. (1) Godrej Fab Liquid Detergent, at a category-defining price of 99 per litre. (2) We have entered the ~ Rs 1,200 crore market of the Anti-Mosquito Incense Sticks segment that is dominated by illegal players. Goodknight Agarbatti is India's only government-registered active-based anti-mosquito Agarbatti with our new and exclusive molecule RNF (~2x more effective than other molecules used in India). We continue to have a strong balance sheet. We are on track in our journey to reduce wasted costs and are deploying this to drive profitable and sustainable volume growth across our portfolio through category development.
