Company Performance

 

2006-07 was an exceptional year for the Company. Though there was a marginal decrease in topline there has been a stupendous growth in bottom line. The net profits of the company was Rs.15.211 millions for FY 2006-07 against a loss of Rs.11.132 in FY 2005-06. It also saw the Cake and Rusk business growth.

 

2006-07 was an exceptional year for another reason too. For the first time, the industry witnessed an inordinate and stimultaneous increase of approximately 20% - 25% in the market prices of all key commodities like flour, refined palm oil, skimmed milk powder. Etc. The Company implemented several cost effectiveness programs which, together with efficient buying, managed to contain input inflation.

 

The bottom line growth was driven by taking effective measures for cost cutting. With the segmented and sharpened go to market strategy, the Company’s brands now have greater availability in rural markets and pervasive presence in modern trade.

 

Business Outlook :    

 

Macro-economic as well as industry specific (FMCG and Packaged Food) indicators point to a general optimism in the market. The recent exemption of excise duty on biscuits upto MRP of Rs.100 per kg is expected to support industry growth. However, the unabated inflation in input prices, especially wheat, edible oil and dairy products, will continue to strain profitability.

 

In this scenario, the Company continues to pursue a strategy to identify and commercialise profitable growth opportunities by increasing the preference and consumption of subject brands through leveraging the three growth vectors of brand, geography and channel to reach and delight consumers.

 

The overall level of investment in the market behind brands and infrastructure has also increased with both national and regional players pursuing growth in an increasingly competitive market. 

 

The range of biscuits are doing well with positive growth in almost all varieties. New varieties have been launched to provide options for different sectors of consumers.
