MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW – YEAR 2014-15

 

STATE OF THE ECONOMY:

 

As per the latest Advanced Estimate (AE) of the Central Statistics Office (CSO), growth in India’s GDP at factor cost at constant prices was estimated at 7.4 per cent in 2014-15 as compared to 6.9 per cent in 2013-14. During April – February, 2014-15, overall growth in Index of Industrial Production (“IIP”) was 2.80 per cent as compared to (-) 0.1 per cent in corresponding period of previous year. The average Wholesale Price Index (WPI) Inflation rate for the last 12 months (April 14 to March 15) was 2% compared to 6% during the corresponding period in 2013-14.

 

The International Monetary Fund released an update to its World Economic Outlook report predicting that India’s economy will improve in terms of its annual growth rate by 2016. The IMF estimates predict that India’s economy will grow at 6.3 and 6.5 percent respectively over the next two years. This puts India’s projected growth in 2016 ahead of the organization’s estimates for many other economies, making India the fastest growing major emerging economy in the world.

 

 

INDUSTRY:

 

FMCG GROWTH RATES

 

The Indian FMCG industry spans over 8 million outlets, reaching out to 1.26 billion people and is worth $37 billion. Nielsen figures estimate that the market grew by around 7% in 2014, and is set to grow by 10% in 2015 and 12% in 2016.

 

This year, with a new government, there have been quite a few positive markers for the industry and India’s consumer confidence index went back on top of the chart – standing at 126 points in the third-quarter 2014. With these positive signs, standard and poor’s revised India’s outlook from Negative to Stable.

 

For the FMCG Sector, excise duty was reduced on specific food processing and packaging machinery from 10% to 6% resulting in lower input costs for food manufacturers. Customs duty was reduced on certain industrial grade crude oils for the manufacture of soap chemicals, thereby lowering their input costs. The 2014 fiscal budget had an impact on consumers as well. The increase in tax exemption limits for regular citizens (from Rs. 200,000 to Rs. 250,000) and senior citizens (from Rs. 250,000 to Rs. 300,000) led to an increase in disposable income and therefore discretionary spending.

 

Food inflation has also been controlled to some extent. Wholesale price index inflation fell to a five-year low of 2.4% in September 2014 and continues to be subdued. Falling crude oil prices have also helped to rein in manufacturing cost and therefore inflation. These factors seem to be contributing to the overall positive economic outlook. The World Bank in its South Asia Economic Focus report has projected India’s GDP growth rate to increase to 8% by 2017.

 

There is a lot of scope for growth in the FMCG sector with increase in penetration of brands and also with rising per capita income, which is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.4 per cent over the period 2013-19, the FMCG sector is expected to witness accelerated growth in times to come.

 

ZYDUS WELLNESS LTD. – A NICHE PLAYER IN CONSUMER HEALTH

 

Zydus Wellness is a niche and significant player in this growing market with its portfolio of brands viz. Sugar Free, Everyuth and Nutralite. These brands have been contributing to and participating in growing health and wellness market in India. The Company’s key brands namely, SugarFree, EverYuth Scrub, EverYuth Peel Off and Nutralite have maintained leadership positions in their respective categories during the year 2014-15.

 

 

SUGAR FREE – INDIA’S LARGEST SELLING LOW CALORIE SWEETENER

 

Sugar Free continues its leadership in the sugar substitute market with a market share of 92.5%. Both variants of Sugar Free, viz. Sugar Free Gold and Sugar Free Natura continue to lead their respective segments.

 

The sugar substitute category is still a niche category adopted by health seekers and diabetics. While the category penetration is still low, it has been growing steadily over the last few years. Increasing awareness and trial amongst health conscious individuals and diabetics offers significant potential for growth of the brand.

 

Sugar Free, through its Gold variant, has for the first time directly targeted sugar consumption by creating awareness about the fact that sugar creeps in into one’s daily consumption almost unnoticed. The Natura range, endorsed by Celebrity Chef Mr. Sanjeev Kapoor, continues to build awareness about its culinary usage. During the year, the Company introduced Stevia, a new variant of Sugar Free in limited markets.

 

Sugar Free also continues to support “Donate your Calories” initiative in partnership with Akshaya Patra.

 

 

EVERYUTH – DISCOVER NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL SKIN!

 

In 2014, the skin cleansing category continued with a slower growth rate, putting pressure on the Everyuth franchise. Everyuth maintained its leadership position in the Mask and Scrub segments by driving integrated campaigns across multiple mediums. To drive penetration of Scrub category, the Company launched “Everyuth Advanced Hydro Active Walnut Apricot Scrub” that won ‘Product of the Year-2015’ award in the Scrub category. The winning product was selected on the basis of an independent survey conducted by Nielsen amongst 7,000 consumers across India. It was the first scrub in India with a revolutionary Hydrogel technology. Hence, unlike ordinary scrubs which leave the skin dry, Everyuth Naturals Advanced Scrub gives the skin superior moisturization for up to 8 hours.

 

Everyuth continues to face stiff competition in the highly competitive Face Wash category. In keeping with its tradition of launching innovative products and formats, the Company launched a “Sachet pack of EverYuth Tulsi Turmeric face wash”, which is a first in India and is intended to provide convenience and better access to the consumer. The range and sachet innovation also won ‘Product of the Year-2015’ award in the Face Wash category. The Company also launched “Everyuth Advanced Refreshing Face Wash”, which has a unique combination of lemon and green apple extracts along with Nano Vita-C that gives naturally clear, bright and refreshed skin with every wash.

 

 

 

 

 

NUTRALITE – ‘HEALTHIER CHOICE’

 

Though the overall margarine category declined by 3.5% during the year, Nutralite has gained market share by approximately 330 basis points and maintained its leadership position with a market share of 37.6%. The Company strengthened its margarine product portfolio by introducing Nutralite with Omega 3 benefits. This has further helped build equity of Nutralite amongst health conscious consumers. Nutralite continues to drive category penetration through its consumer engagement programmes.

 

 

NEW “GO-TO-MARKET” STRATEGY

 

The Company has completed a major revamp of its entire distribution model. This system was new to the Company and hence took some time to settle down.
