Financial Overview

 

Gross Sales for the year 2006 at Rs. 4,093.09 million as against Rs. 3,837.55 million in the previous year showed growth of 6.66%. profit before tax for the current year at Rs. 664.70 mn is a reasonable increase over the PBT for the last year viz Rs. 517.4 mn which is mainly attributable to the growth in major product categories. Net sales of Household products at Rs. 2,348 mn are in increase of 13.35% over the last year primarily on account of good volume growth in a few key categories which are being backed by significant marketing spend. The overall sales of the Pharmaceuticals segment showed a decrease and the sales were Rs. 1,354.4 mn as against sales of Rs. 1,403.4 mn in 2005 with some categories having done better versus last year whereas certain others under-performed.

 

Future Outlook

 

The Company will continue to be aggressive in the market and will keep focus on increasing its brand portfolio and its market share combined with business simplification and cost reduction measures. Opportunities for extending the product portfolio will continue to be explored so as to ensure top line growth.
