INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit narrowed in the quarter ended September as government measures to curb imports, especially gold, kicked in.  The current account deficit, the excess of a country’s imports of goods and services over exports, narrowed to $ 5.2 billion from $ 21 billion in the year ago period, according to provisional Reserve Bank of India data. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said the CAD for the year will be less than $ 60 billion or 3 per cent of GDP and the latest data suggests the government may achieve the target.

 

India was ranked 94th among the world’s most corrupt nations list. Denmark and New Zealand topped as the cleanest while Somalia emerged as the most corrupt.

 

India’s services sector activity witnessed a moderate improvement in November over the previous month, even while indicating the fifth successive monthly contraction, according the HSBC survey.

 

$53 million estimated losses suffered by India due to phishing attacks during the third quarter, according to a study by RSA. India ranks fourth in the list of nations hit by phishing attacks. The US remained at the top of the charts. Phishing is the process of acquiring information such as user names, passwords and credit card details by sending e-mails disguised as official mails.

 

Rs.4080 million worth of mobile-phone-based transactions by July 2013 compared to Rs.260 million in September, 2012, according to Deloitte report. The number of transactions has shot up from 94000 to 701000.

 

India aims to earn Rs.400000 million from the bandwidth auction set for January. The merger and acquisition guidelines, cleared by a group of ministers, will be out before the auction begins so that players can make informed decisions on the auctions.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

The Company is a public company incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The company is engaged in manufacturing and selling of branded packaged fast moving consumer goods in the grooming, portable power and oral care businesses. The company’s products are sold through retail operations including mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, department stores and high frequency stores. The Company has its manufacturing locations at Bhiwadi in Rajasthan and Baddi in Himachal Pradesh, apart from third party manufacturing locations spread across India.

 

 

PERSONAL GROOMING- BLADES AND RAZORS

 

Gillette Personal Grooming portfolio had a strong year with high double digit growth combined with market share growth across Blades and Razors and Personal Care category. This was driven by robust performance across all product and price tiers through base-brand building activities and expanding their product offering.

 

Fusion Power is Gillette’s latest introduction in premium-tier Blades and Razors segment. The batterypowered razor adds to the features of the Gillette Fusion manual razor with power-glide blades and soothing micro-pulses, thus, providing consumers with a superior shaving experience.

 

Their premium line of systems registered strong performance with both Mach3 and Fusion, delivering double digit growth behind strong razor placement, and, Go-to-Market plans and innovative marketing campaigns like “Soldier for Women” and “Shave India” movement through the Financial Year.

 

Gillette “Soldier for Women”, a unique initiative by the Company was launched in January, 2013. This initiative encouraged and gave voice to millions of men who embrace the values of courage, camaraderie, integrity and respect for women. Gaining support from across cities and people from different walks of life, the campaign went on to become a national movement, reaching out to millions of men and women across the country.

 

Gillette Guard, the Entry Level system, which was specially designed for low-income group consumers, continued to register strong double digit growth by value and volume. Gillette Guard has had the fastest-ever build of share and distribution across categories in India and is now present in over 1 million stores across the country.

 

Gillette Double edge blades continued to grow valueshare primarily led by its 7-o’clock and WilkinsonSword brands.

 

The Gillette Personal Care Category comprising of pre-shave and post-shave products has performed exceptionally well and grown share across the portfolio led by Tube Shave Gel. It helped further strengthen their position versus competition in the pre-shave category.

 

Thus, the Company continued to grow across the portfolio through the Financial Year.

 

Gillette India wins PR Lion at Cannes Ad Fest:

 

The Company’s campaign “Shave or Crave” as part of the “Shave India Movement” has won a PR Lion at the Cannes ad festival this Financial Year. This is the fifth year in a row, that Gillette’s marketing campaign has been recognized at this prestigious global forum.

 

 

ORAL CARE

 

Oral-B continues to grow across all tiers. Initiatives focused on establishing superiority of Cross Action helped Oral-B grow in the super premium tier segment. Oral-B has led innovation this year launching two new technologically superior products – Top of the line manual brush called ‘Pro-health Clinical’ and ‘Allrounder-Sensitive’. The sensitive toothbrush market is growing at more than 50% and Allrounder-Sensitive is specifically designed and suited to the needs of the Indian market. Oral-B 123 continues to lead their growth in the premium tier by providing superior propositions to the consumers. Dedicated TV initiatives on Oral-B Shiny Clean along with strong plans to drive deeper distribution further helped strengthen Oral-B’s position in the midtier segment. Multiple initiatives were undertaken to expand Oral-B distribution, which resulted in the brand being available to more consumers across India.

 

Oral-B, which is the World’s No. 1 dentist recommended toothbrush brand, (Based on surveys of a representative worldwide sample of Dentists carried out for P&G) continued its partnership with dentists across India, to promote oral health awareness for yet another year through its Oral-B Smile India Movement-3 initiative. This campaign helped in improving the lives of consumers by educating them on oral hygiene and by offering them a free dental checkup close to their residence simply on the purchase of an Oral-B toothbrush.

 

After years of growth and delighting the consumers with superior brushing experience, Oral-B has launched its revolutionary toothpaste technology to the Indian consumers during the last quarter of the Financial Year. Oral-B has launched 3 tiers of toothpaste in both Gel and Paste form in the Rs. 6,0000.000 Millions toothpaste market. This has been very well received by dentists and retailers in the month of June, 2013. The marketing and promotional expenses in this highly competitive category will begin in July, 2013 and will impact near term earnings growth.

 

 

PORTABLE POWER

 

For the Financial Year 2012-2013, Duracell has achieved robust sales growth due to successful price up helping in earnings improvement behind volume growth and higher pricing.

 

Duracell has increased the scope by shifting the communication from only high drain device to everyday use device like Torch. This has helped them to increase the scope of target audience. In the coming future, Duracell will continue to outperform the category focusing on everyday device consumers in need of superior performance, whilst continuing to service “Aspiring Indian” consumers who seek value for money from the battery.

 

 

MANUFACTURING

 

During the Financial Year, the Bhiwadi and Baddi plants continued to perform at record levels and delivered all time high throughputs. In the past years, both Bhiwadi and Baddi plants achieved benchmark productivity improvements. Work System Renewal related changes have been initiated which is expected to enhance long term people capability to continue to meet the business needs. The plants delivered outstanding performance in all key measures —  Safety, Quality and Cost.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT, 2013

 

Review of Economic Scenario and impact of Union Budget 2013

 

The Indian economy continues to grow across sectors including growth across consumer segments. GDP growth has tapered down to mid single digits, significantly lower than the past. The economy has entered a volatile phase with a weak rupee, relatively high inflation and a stronger Global economy providing alternative sources of investment to FIIs. However, we expect that the Indian consumer sector will continue to grow at a modest pace and the ability to recover the impact of devaluation/ high inflation will largely depend on the strength of the brand, the value it brings to the consumer.

 

The Union Budget 2013-14 is forward looking and recognizes the risks faced by the economy while still committed to contain the Fiscal Deficit to 4.8% of GDP. The increase in Direct Tax rate from 32.45% to 33.99% would result in additional direct cost to the Company.

 

 

The FMCG Sector and Indian consumers

 

The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest in the Indian economy and has a market size in excess of $13.1 billion. The sector is growing at a healthy pace due to increase in penetration, wider distribution and better consumer value. We have strong Indian companies and a few Multinationals operating in this area offering a wide

array of products to the Indian consumer. With growing incomes and changing consumption patterns, we expect growth to continue at a modest pace. Margins for the sector could be volatile due to macro economic factors discussed earlier and a strong competitive environment.

 

 

BUSINESS REVIEW:

 

MALE GROOMING — BLADES and RAZORS

 

The Directors are of the view that the Blades and Razors sector is a big category and represents a sizable growth opportunity for the Company. According to market research data, the Blades and Razors market alone is estimated at over Rs. 14000.000 Millions and about 5.5 billion units in size.

 

 

ORAL CARE

 

The Oral Care category presents unique opportunities and challenges in India. Manual toothbrushes are a key part of Oral Hygiene with opportunity for better penetration and trade-up.

 

Manual toothbrushes continue to be predominant in the Oral Care market in India. According to market research data, the toothbrush market is estimated at over Rs. 12000.000 Millions and growing at a rate of 10% per year. The Company is now entering the toothpaste market which presents unique growth opportunities but will require significant investment.

 

 

PORTABLE POWER

 

The growing usage in the high and mid drain devices like toys and cameras and increased purchasing power in India indicate a good potential in the coming years for alkaline batteries and thus for Duracell.

 

 

OUTLOOK AND OPPORTUNITIES

 

The Indian economy presents significant opportunity with a growing population, category whitespace and rising incomes. However, high inflation, supply bottlenecks and intense competition constrain margin growth in the near term. The Company carefully studies these trends and makes timely choices to balance sales, shares and margins.
