INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

The Group continued to focus on expanding its consumer franchise. During FY12 Marico registered revenue from operations of Rs.40080.000 Millions, a growth of 28% over the previous year. This was contributed by 17% expansion in volumes (includes 6% inorganic growth) accompanied by 11% through price increases and sales mix. The top line increase was accompanied by a bottom-line growth of 11%. Profit After Tax (PAT) including exceptional / extra-ordinary items during the year was at Rs.3170.000 Millions as against Rs. 2860.000 Millions in FY11. The growth in profits does not mirror the growth in top line due to inflationary pressures faced by the Company during the year. The Company consciously decided to absorb a part of the increase in input costs in order to maintain and grow its long term consumer franchise. Further, the financial statements of FY12 and FY11 include certain exceptional items. The growth in PAT after excluding the impact of such exceptional items is a healthy 25%.

 

During the year, Marico extended its record of year on year quarterly growth.

 

The company has demonstrated steady growth on both the top line and the bottom line. Over the last 5 years, they have grown at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate of 21% and 23% respectively.

 

Consumer Products Business: India

 

The Consumer Products Business in India (CPB) achieved a turnover of Rs.27660.000 Millions during FY12, a growth of about 37% over FY11 (excluding turnover from Sweekar which was divested in March 2011 from the base. If sales of Sweekar were to be included in the base the growth would be 26%). The turnover growth reflected healthy demand and continued business momentum manifest in a volume growth of about 14% over FY11.

 

Parachute, Marico’s flagship brand, continued to expand its franchise during the year. Parachute coconut oil in rigid packs, the focus part of its portfolio, grew by 11% in volume as compared to FY11. Small packs helped in driving this volume growth. Also, owing to the inflationary environment in the key input prices of coconut oil the competitive environment (specially the local/regional players) during the last few quarters has been soft thereby resulting in Marico’s brands gaining market share. Its share during the 12 months ended March ’12 was 55%.

 

Marico offers its consumers a basket of value added hair oils for their pre-wash and post wash hair conditioning, nourishment and grooming needs (Key brands being Parachute Advansed hair oil, Parachute Advansed Cooling oil, Parachute Jasmine non sticky hair oil, Parachute Advansed Ayurvedic Hair Oil, Nihar Naturals perfumed hair oil, Hair and Care nourishing non sticky hair oil, and Nihar Shanti Badam Amla hair oil). During the year, Marico’s hair oil brands recorded healthy growth and the portfolio as

a whole grew by about 24% in volume terms over FY11.

 

Marico’s premium refi ned edible oils brand Saffola grew by about 11% in volume terms compared to FY11. The brand’s strong heart health equity is now being leveraged through functional food extensions in breakfast cereal and low glycemic index rice.

 

Marico has been constantly investing in a healthy pipeline of new products. During the year the Company launched savory oats under Saffola and Body Lotion under Parachute Advansed.

 

International FMCG Business

 

From a single digit share in FY05, about 24% of the group’s turnover is now contributed by Marico’s International FMCG business. Its key geographical presence is in Bangladesh, MENA (Middle East and North Africa), South Africa and South East Asia.

 

During FY12, the company’s international business recorded a turnover growth of 30% over FY11. During the year, the Company also successfully integrated the 85% acquisition of International Consumer Products (ICP) in Vietnam.

 

Marico has entered new geographies as well as scaled up presence in Nepal/Bhutan, Malaysia and Myanmar. During the year, the Company has used the connect and develop model of faster innovation to launch an exciting new range of water gels, Ice gels and Rave Gels, Wax and Clay under Code 10 within six months of opportunity identification. They have also started using ICP as a sourcing base for the Malaysian market.

 

Myanmar tripled its base in FY12 with both the Nourishment (Parachute Advansed) and Male grooming (Code 10) business showing good traction. In the process they have gained significant market share. The Group expects to scale up this business signif cantly in the coming year(s).

 

Kaya

 

Kaya offers its technology led cosmetic dermatological services through 107 clinics: 82 in India across 26 cities and 19 in the Middle East, 2 in Dhaka and 4 clinics through Derma Rx in Singapore and Malaysia.

 

During FY12, Kaya’s skin solutions business achieved a turnover of Rs. 2790.000 Millions, recording a revenue growth of ~33% over FY11. On an overall basis Kaya made a loss of Rs. 291.000 Millions at PBIT level. During the year Kaya initiated a change in its positioning from ‘cure’ to ‘cure + care’. The new services introduced to take care of regular skin care needs received good traction. The focus on increasing revenue from products, led by introducing products from the Derma Rx range into the clinics in India has resulted in the contribution from the sales of products increasing from 13% to about 23%. These initiatives also helped Kaya business in India and Middle East to achieve the same clinic growth of 15%. Sustaining same store growth would reinforce Marico’s belief in the Kaya Business model, especially as they perceive a signifi cant long term opportunity in skin care solutions.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

The year 2011-12 has been a year of consumption, with both the Central government sponsored schemes and the impact of the Sixth Pay Revision pumping in large amounts of money in the hands of the consumers. Asset price inflation (largely land and gold), drove an increased sense of affluence amongst the masses. Hike in Minimum Support Price for food grains and continued support under NREGS, among other factors, have driven rural incomes and demand. Despite several domestic headwinds including high inflation and interest rates, trade deficit and delay in policy implementation, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) continued to show robust growth.

 

The Indian FMCG market size is in excess of USD 33.4 billion and has grown at ~17% in the last 5 years. It is poised to grow 3.6 times between 2010 and 2020, faster than most other emerging markets. Rising household income, urbanization, increasing literacy, decline in the traditional joint-family structure and changing demographics are key contributors to growth. The most notable force is average household income, which is set to rise nearly 3 times between 2010 and 2020. An indication of this is the per capita income which grew by 14% in FY12 to cross the sixty thousand mark. India’s income pyramid has typically had a wide base and increasingly smaller layers as income rises. This pyramid is quickly becoming a diamond, as per capita income grows.

 

In an increasingly globalized economy, India’s lion’s share comes from services. This requires skilled labour, which is driving the educated population from small towns and villages into the top towns and cities of the country. This is leading to rapid urbanization and expansion of the large cities (primarily because of poor infrastructure in the small towns), which will potentially lead to an inflection in a decade or two, at which point the urban population will become a sizeable portion of the total.

 

By 2020, 35% of India’s population will live in cities. As people move from rural areas to cities, they tend to both increase their purchases as well as spend on different items. Urban dwellers have better access to goods and are exposed to greater consumerism. Apart from the change in the population mix, the urban income distribution has also favorably changed over a period of time. The upper class in the urban income group has increased by about 36% as compared to 7% in 1996. The rise in urban population coupled with improvement in the urban income mix is favorable for the FMCG industry. Apart from the better value growth in the urban market, it provides an opportunity to launch innovative premium products.

 

Women in urban India are also changing in their quest to break from their traditional image in society. They are increasingly assertive and feeling more secure to venture out to the stores and buy things on their own. A growing number of high-profile women desire the best and are creating a niche market for themselves. A widespread feeling of self-indulgence, which is leading to self-pampering in the form of beauty services and vacations, is emerging. These women are often the biggest potential buyers of niche high-quality, high-end products.

 

Modernization has led to changing aspirations where the need to be good looking, well-groomed and stylish has taken on a newfound importance. Indian men are also becoming conscious about their appearance, creating a market for male grooming products. Today’s men are less inhibited when it comes to looking good and do indulge in image enhancing products and treatments. The categories witnessing significant growth include men’s face creams, hair gels and deodorants.

 

A part of the trend to look fitter and well groomed is the increasing emphasis on a healthy lifestyle. With increasing income, Indians are becoming health conscious leading to a change in lifestyle. Food is the largest consumption category, accounting for 31% of what India spends on today. With growing awareness, product acceptance among the masses has also increased. The market for products that reduce stress, prevent aging, help the heart and fight diabetes are all on a growth curve. The health food market stood at Rs. 90000.000 Millions in 2010, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20% to Rs. 225000.000 Millions by 2015. The health food contribution in packaged food, i.e. 10% in India, is on the lower side when compared to the global average of 25-30%. With more companies focusing on products with a strong health and wellness quotient, the consumer awareness about healthier options of food consumption will increase.

 

Another significant emerging segment of the market is the rural sector, which currently accounts for 70% of India’s population. The rural market is being driven by growth in non-agriculture income, better MSP (Minimum Support Prices) rates, higher education, wealth effect coming from increasing land values, better infrastructure, increasing media penetration and the Government’s emphasis on rural development programmes. With a huge population base, improvement in rural income has opened several gates for the industry.

 

In the last 5 years, rural India has outperformed the overall FMCG growth. About 50% of the rural population will come under the INR 90k-200k annual income range by 2015, as against ~35% in 2005. This rise in annual income is expected to favorably improve the lower middle class and middle class mix in future. This brings new consumers within the fold, while existing consumers move up the value chain. Also, penetration levels across categories are lower in rural areas compared to urban, which provide strong headroom for growth. This will help the industry maintain volume growth for a long period.

 

Rising consumption and increasing proportion of younger population where 70% of Indians will be of working age in 2025, increasing media penetration and rising aspiration will further drive FMCG growth. India’s organized retail is estimated at USD 28 billion with around 7% penetration but is expected to grow to 21% and become a USD 260 billion business over the next decade. Modern retail offers opportunities to experiment with new categories. It also gives customers a chance to educate themselves about new products which is not the case with a general trade store. Category creation and market development starts with modern trade but as more consumers start consuming this category, they penetrate into other channels. Organized retail has fuelled new growth categories - liquid hand wash, breakfast cereals, ready-to-eat foods, pre-and post-wash products and hair conditioners account for almost 50% of their sales. However, a significant share of FMCG business is still generated through the ‘mom and pop’ store (kirana) format. With better infrastructure aiding access to the rural economy, it is likely that ‘mom and pop’ stores will remain the chief point of interface for the FMCG companies.

 

India Incorporated is looking to grow inorganically. It is important to go global not only to create multiple growth engines but also to create reverse learning for the home market. The year gone by has seen a number of overseas acquisitions made by Indian FMCG companies. Also, the emerging economies in Asia and Africa have low-to-medium penetrations in some of the FMCG categories. This signifies considerable headroom for growth in the mid-term. Favorable macros, changing attitudes of the consumers and progressive policies of the governments also make these markets attractive destinations. Typically, gestation periods tend to be longer as one needs to go up the learning curve in a new market. Some of them also offer inorganic entry possibilities that can create access to mainstream distribution, manufacturing and talent. This can speed up one’s learning curve as long as there is a strategic fit with the target.

 

Overall, a study of India’s private spending data reveals some fundamental shifts. Hence businesses across different consumer goods need to carry out a fresh assessment of the near term prospects of the Indian economy and the changes in consumer spending behavior. The FMCG sector is likely to benefit from these changes and will also get an opportunity to innovate with new products and categories while looking at extending its learnings to other emerging markets.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Marico has positioned itself, strategically, in emerging markets - India, South Africa (part of BRICSA), Bangladesh, Vietnam and Egypt (Part of N-11 Group) and the Middle East. In emerging markets, a focus on the long term is crucial. Long term success can be ensured only through stronger brands that enjoy loyal consumer franchises. Marico has therefore chosen to prioritize expansion of consumer franchise over expansion of margins.

 

In the immediate term, however, there exists some uncertainty in the business environment. While the pressure of inflation has eased to some extent in India, the GDP growth estimates have been revised downwards. Even though FMCG companies marketing items of daily consumption are not affected as much as some other industries might be, there could be an effect on consumer demand especially for items of discretionary consumption in their portfolio. In addition, high inflation and weak currencies may have some impact on business in a few of Marico’s international markets.

 

Here is a broad outline of Marico’s strategies and the expected outcome for its various businesses:

Marico  shares surged over 5 percent to a 52-week high of Rs 238.50 on Tuesday morning, as the street gave a thumbs up to its demerger plans and several analysts advised investors should "buy" the stock.

 

Marico's board on Monday approved plans to demerge its Kaya Skin Care Solutions business and list it separately as Marico Kaya Enterprises Limited.

 

Marico's Consumer Products Business (CPB) and International Business Group (IBG) will now form a unified FMCG business, post the restructuring.

 

Antique Stock Broking upgraded the stock to "buy" from "hold," saying the demerger was positive for Marico as it would make it a pure consumer play.

 

"The separation of Kaya Skin care would mean an improvement in return ratios of Marico's pure FMCG business which will now house only the consumer businesses attracting higher profitability and returns. From an estimated RoCE of 21% in FY14, Marico's RoCE would increase to an estimated 23% during the year. Therefore, the separation will not have any impact on the earnings capacity of Marico, however would make its balance sheet size lighter by about 12% (Rs 350 crore)," Antique analysts Abhijeet Kundu and Nupur Parik said.

 

Analysts say the demerger will also benefit Kaya, which has seen earnings improve this financial year and posted a pre-tax profit in the second quarter. It will be able to attract funds for expansion, they say.

 

"The demerger of Kaya into a separate entity could potentially lead to better capital utilisation for its expansion," Goldman Sachs said, putting a "buy" rating on the stock.

 

"Demerger of Kaya into a separate listed entity will lead to price discovery of the business, in our view. We estimated Kaya to report sales of Rs 410 crore and breakeven at the profit after tax level in FY2014," said Amrita Basu and Rohit Chordia of Kotak Institutional Equities.

 

At 10:15 hrs, Marico shares were up 4 percent at Rs 236.45 on NSE.  

 

 

Marico Q3FY13 results Stronger market shares, Margin expansion Revenue up 11%, PAT up 21%

 

 

Marico posted Revenue from Operations of Rs. 11680.000 Millions (USD 216 million) a growth of about 11% over Q3FY12. The growth was largely led by about 9% volume growth as compared to Q3FY12. The inflation component in the overall growth was lower at 2%.

 

The growth in Profits after Tax (PAT) was about 21%. If one excludes the impact of one time and non comparable items in the Q3FY12 results then the growth in PAT is about 12%. The Profit Before tax (PBT) before considering the impact of non comparable and one time items grew by 20%.

 

The gross margins expanded by 420 bps. The Company chose to invest part of this expansion in brand building leading to an operating margin expansion of 100 bps. This reflects the Company’s approach towards focusing on new consumer acquisition across its portfolios as against maximizing margins in the short term.

 

The Indian FMCG Business grew at 16% in value terms and by 15% in volume terms during Q3FY13 over Q3FY12. The International FMCG business reported a flat performance during Q3FY13 and Kaya skincare solutions business posted a top line growth of 5%.

 

Market shares continued to be healthy across categories.

 

Marico (BSE: 531642, NSE: “MARICO”) is one of India’s leading Consumer Products and Services Group, in the global beauty and wellness space. During 2011-12, Marico recorded a turnover of about Rs. 40.0 billion (USD 740 Million) through its products and services sold in India and about 25 other countries in Asia and Africa.

 

Marico touches the lives of 1 out of every 3 Indians, through its portfolio of brands such as Parachute, Parachute Advansed, Saffola, Hair and Care, Nihar, Livon, Setwet, Zatak, Mediker and Revive. The international consumer products portfolio contributes to about 24% of the Group’s revenue, with brands like Parachute, Hair Code, Fiancée, Caivil, Hercules, Black Chic, Code 10, Ingwe, X-Men, L’Ovite and Thuan Phat.

 

Marico’s focus on sustainable profitable growth is manifest through its consistent financial performance, a CAGR of 21% in Turnover and 23% in Profits over the past 5 years.

 

The Consumer Products Business in India (CPB) achieved a turnover of Rs. 8280.000 Millions (USD 153 million), a growth of about 16% over Q3FY12. The turnover of acquired Youth brands (including Set Wet, Zatak and Livon) amounted to Rs. 430.000 Millions (USD 8 million) during the quarter. The growth before considering the turnover of these brands was 10%.

 

The organic domestic volume growth was about 9% which is still healthy in the context of more prominent signs of slow down in certain categories. A deceleration in the rate of new customer acquisition owing to an expansion in the premium charged by the Company on its products and slow down in certain discretionary segments impacted the overall growth. The business recorded market share gains across the portfolio.

 

Marico participates in the Rs. 25000.000 Millions (USD 463 million) branded coconut oil market through Parachute and Nihar. The rigid part (packs in blue bottles) of the portfolio of Parachute, Marico’s flagship brand, recorded a volume growth of about 6% during the quarter over Q3FY12. The Company has been focusing on the rigid packs over the past few years as they enjoy a higher margin as compared to pouch packs. During the 12 month period ending December 2012 Parachute along with Nihar improved its market share by about 390 bps over the same period last year to 57.8%

 

The Saffola refined edible oils franchise grew by about 4% in volume terms during Q3FY13 compared to Q3FY12. The growth during the current quarter however was lower than the recent trend as anticipated. The inflation in the safflower oil and rice bran oil is significantly higher than the inflation in sunflower oil. This has led to expansion in premium of Saffola vis-ŕ-vis the other refined edible oils. The Company has initiated some pricing action (in the form of promotional offers and price reduction) in select packs in order to bring the premium back to sustainable levels. The Company expects to return to double digit growth in the coming quarter. Saffola has a market share of 58% in the super premium refined edible oils category. Its communication campaigns won several awards including the prestigious Grand Emvie 2102.

 

Saffola oats, including its savory variants, are now available on a national basis. Saffola now offers a bouquet of six flavors in the savory Oats category. Saffola has an exit market share of about 13% to 14% by volume in the Oats category and has emerged as the number two player. Besides offering oats Saffola strengthened its position in the breakfast category by introducing Muesli on a national basis. The product is available in three variants. The market size of Muesli is estimatedto be around Rs. 800.000 Millions to Rs. 1000.000 Millions (USD 14.8 million to USD 18.5 million) growing rapidly in excess of 40%. Saffola Muesli has already becomea number 3 player with an exit market share of about 9%.

 

In Value Added Hair Oils, Marico has a “category play” in the segment whereby it offers its consumers a basket of value added hair oils for their pre-wash and post wash leave-in hair conditioning, nourishment and grooming needs in the approximately Rs. 40000.000 Millions (USD 740 million) market. The portfolio grew by about 30% in volumes over Q3FY12. The Company is now focusing on scaling up its presence in all the sub segments of Value Added Hair Oils.

 

Parachute Advansed Body Lotion has achieved a volume market share of about 6% to 7% (moving 12 months basis) within a short period of time and has become the number 3 participant in the market. The brand’s clutter-breaking premium packaging won the World Star 2012 award beating stiff competition from across several countries. The brand gained about 230 bps in market share during the current season as compared to the last season.

 

The turnover achieved from the Youth brands (Set Wet, Zatak and Livon) during the quarter was Rs. 430.000 Millions (Rs. 80.000 million), a growth of 18% over Q3FY12. The Company has achieved a portfolio top line of RS. 100 Cr (USD 18 million) on a year to date basis clocking a YTD growth of about 21%.

 

Saugata Gupta, CEO, Consumer Products Businessexpressed happiness at the results: “We have delivered a healthy topline growth accompanied by an expansion in margin. Our continued investments in our brands are expected to results by way of volume growths in established brands and scaling our new product initiatives successfully”

 

Marico’s International Business Group (IBG) focused largely on Bangladesh, MENA (Middle East and North Africa), South Africa and South East Asia comprising about 24% of the Marico Group’s turnover inFY12, achieved a turnover of Rs. 2610.000 Millions (USD 48 million) during Q3FY13. Faced with a challenging environment in key geographies IBG had a flat topline performance as compared to Q3FY12.

 

Bangladesh lost valuable business days owing to “strikes” in the country. Bangladesh Parachute Coconut Oil and Hair Code hair dye held their respective market shares and leadership positions in the respective categories. In the Value Added Hair Oils (VAHO) space, the Company strengthened its presence through increased volumes of Parachute Beliphool, a light hair oil with a floral fragrance, Parachute Advansed Cooling Oil and Nihar. This has resulted in ramping up market share from about 7% a few quarters back to market share of about 18%.

 

Overall the environment in Egypt remains somewhat unpredictable. Notwithstanding this, the Company’s business in Egypt reported a healthy growth and maintained its market leadership share of about 57%. The company continues to play out a dual brand strategy leading with Hair Code and Fiancée playing the VFM flanker role.

 

The company’s Parachute business in the Middle East region continued to face challenges and de-grew during the quarter. This is as a result of certain distribution restructuring initiatives and a mixed response to a pack change initiative in Hair Creams. The Company has stepped up investments to communicate the pack change with aggressive on-ground, in-outlet and sampling activities. It expects the business to return to a growth trajectory in the first quarter of FY14.

 

The business in South Africa posted a steady growth in top line in the environment where the growth in the segment remains weak.

 

The business in Vietnam is tracking as per expectations. X-Men maintained its leadership in male shampoos and the number two position in male deodorants. The extension into X-Men for Boss has also received a good response. The Company continues to scale up its presence in neighboring countries like Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan.

 

Vijay Subramaniam, CEO, International Business said: “Our International business has faced a very challenging macro environment this year. Two key markets, Egypt and Vietnam, turned in very satisfying performances. I believe that with an improvement in the macro environment in Bangladesh and measures taken in the Middle East bearing results, IBG will be back on a healthy growth path going forward”.

 

Kaya Skin Care Solutions

During Q3FY13, Kaya achieved a turnover of Rs. 785.000 Millions (USD 14.5 million) registering a growth of about 5% over Q3FY12. The Kaya business in India and in the Middle East achieved same store sales growth of about 4% during Q3FY13 as compared to Q3FY12. On the back of a very strong Q2 a slight moderation in the growth rates was expected. A slow down in the discretionary spends also impacted overall growth rates. However, Kaya continues to sustain the top line growth trend for the past 9 quarters on a same store basis.

 

The products from Derma Rx introduced in India continue to gain good traction. More products from Derma Rx range and other products from Kaya will continue to be introduced in India and Middle East in a phased manner. About 25% of the revenues from Indian operations now come from the sale of products.

 

During Q3FY13, Kaya recorded a revenue growth of about 5% over Q3FY12 and made a profit of Rs. 38.000 Millions (USD 0.7 million) at the PBIT level. The business had reported a loss of Rs. 145.000 Millions (USD 2.67 million) at PBIT level for Q3FY12. The loss during Q3Fy12 also included a one time adjustment of Rs. 130.000 Millions.

 

While the Company has registered a profit during this quarter, there is some level of uncertainty over discretionary spends owing to the overall inflation in the economy. The Company would also like to observe a few more quarters of good performance before gaining confidence about sustained profitability. The Company also continues to tweak its business model to arrive at one that will deliver the desired level of returns on a sustained basis.

 

Ajay Pahwa, CEO Kayacommented: “Kaya business continues to sustain same store sales growth and improvement in cost structure. Our strategic focus on expanding Kaya product portfolio is showing results. A new retail format Kaya Skin Bar is being prototyped to further bolster expansion and offer greater access to our customers.”

 

Outlook

Marico has positioned itself, strategically, in the Developing and Emerging (D and E) markets of Asia and Africa. Most of these markets have large populations where affluence is expected to continue to rise and segments where Marico participates – hair care, body care, skin care and health foods are under-penetrated. We believe that in D and E markets, focus on the long term is crucial. Long term success can be ensured only through stronger brands that enjoy loyal consumer franchises. We have therefore chosen to prioritize expansion of consumer franchise over expansion of margins.

 

Milind Sarwate, Group CFO summed up saying “Over the years, Marico’s has demonstrated the value of well defined and focused strategy. We will stay the course to deliver long term shareholder value taking short term fluctuations in our stride”.
