Quarter read
What the record says.
Britannia reported a 6.5% revenue growth in Q3 FY25, with PAT up 4.5%, despite an 11% commodity inflation led by cocoa (+103%) and palm oil (+43%). Volume growth was ~6%, nearly matching revenue, indicating no price-led impact yet. Management has initiated price increases totaling ~2% in Q3, targeting a cumulative 6-6.5% by Q1 FY26 to offset inflation. Cost efficiency programs are on track to deliver 2.5% of revenue savings. Adjacencies like croissant and milkshakes continue strong double-digit growth. Risks include sustained high inflation, potential volume elasticity from pricing, and competitive intensity from local players.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management plans to implement total price increases of 6-6.5% to offset 11% commodity inflation, with 2% already taken in Q3, 2.5% in Q4, and 1.5% in Q1 FY26.
- Management aims to maintain cost efficiency at 2.5% of revenue in FY26, with potential to exceed current year's target.
- Capital expenditure expected to be lower, around INR 150-200 crore, as new plants provide sufficient capacity headroom.
- Focus states (15% of revenue) growing at 1.3-1.4x overall, with rural distribution expanding to 31,000 distributors.
Risks flagged
- Cocoa and palm oil inflation may persist, requiring further price increases that could impact volumes.
- Analyst raised concern that price increases may lead to volume decline; management acknowledged potential arbitrage but expects manageable impact.
- ITC highlighted intense competition from local players; management downplayed but noted vigilance on competitive pricing.
- Gross margins may remain under pressure until full price increases are realized, with potential impact on EBITDA margins.
Key quotes
- Our inflation for the block of commodities that we buy, for us, was approximately 11%, with the RPO and Cocoa leading this inflation.
- We are taking 6%-6.5% price increase, which will be enough to get our absolute profit up to level.
- Pricing obviously impacts consumers. It impacts categories. It impacts everything. So pricing is always the last trigger for us.
