Quarter read
What the record says.
Britannia reported Q4 FY24 revenue of INR 4,014 crore, up 3% YoY, with EBITDA margin at 17.6%, down 4% YoY due to pricing actions and higher A&P spend. Volume growth outpaced revenue at ~6%, driven by market share recovery after price cuts. Management flagged a soft demand environment but expects a rebound post-elections and monsoon, targeting double-digit volume growth in H2. Adjacencies (25% of sales) grew faster than biscuits, with dairy and RTM 2.0 as key growth levers. Commodity outlook is mildly inflationary (3-4%), limiting margin upside. Risk: competitive intensity from regional players could pressure pricing power.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management aims for double-digit volume growth post-elections and monsoon, driven by market recovery and RTM 2.0.
- Wheat and sugar are expected to be slightly inflationary, with overall inflation manageable at 3-4%.
- Adjacent businesses (non-biscuits) are targeted to grow at one and a half times the rate of the biscuit portfolio.
- Route-to-Market 2.0 project will pilot in H2 FY25 and take 11-12 months for full implementation.
Risks flagged
- Regional and small players are gaining share in biscuits, especially in organized trade, pressuring pricing power.
- Expected 3-4% inflation in wheat and sugar may limit margin expansion despite cost efficiencies.
- GDP growth is driven by capital formation, not consumption; demand recovery may be delayed.
- The 11-12 month project may face implementation challenges and upfront costs without immediate benefits.
Key quotes
- Frankly, we are gonna drive top line hard this year. It's tough. The year, you know, what, what, how the last year ended will sort of, you know, continue for a few months. But we are hoping that as the monsoons start to come and, you know, the, the election results come, et cetera, things will look much better.
- If you go way over the top, then even a new player can come in and, you know, start to eat at, you know, bite at your ankles, in some way or form. And we've learned it.
- Our focus from biscuits can never go away, because that's a bulk of our business, and growth on biscuits will always be a very important focus for us. However, the objective really will be that the adjacency business grows at one and a half times what our biscuit portfolio grows at.
