What the record says.
Tata Consumer delivered a strong Q2 with 11% revenue growth to INR 3,734 crore and 30% EBITDA growth, with margin expansion of 220 bps driven by international turnaround and non-branded business. India beverages grew 8% (tea volumes +3%), India foods +16% (volumes +6%), and the growth portfolio (NourishCo, Sampann, Soulfull, SmartFoodz) surged 39%, now contributing 18% of India business. International EBIT jumped 60% led by UK restructuring. Management remains cautiously optimistic on India demand but flagged US coffee softness and rural stress. Key risk: sustained competitive intensity in US coffee and potential tea share erosion if commodity prices remain volatile.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reaffirmed the aspirational target of INR 1,000 crore revenue for NourishCo in FY24, despite weather headwinds.
- Management reiterated the long-term aspiration of 30% growth for Tata Sampann, though Q2 exceeded this at 47%.
- Innovation contributed 5.5% in Q2, and management guided for a full-year innovation contribution of 5%.
- Management expects to complete the merger of Tata Coffee business within the current financial year, pending NCLT approvals.
Risks flagged
- US coffee revenue declined due to falling coffee prices and increased promotional activity; corrective actions taken late in Q2 may take time to reflect.
- Management noted rural stress from inflation and erratic monsoons, impacting volume growth in certain categories.
- Tea market share declined 95 bps on a MAT basis, though management highlighted stability on a quarter-on-quarter basis.
- NourishCo growth slowed to 25% in Q2 from 60% in Q1, attributed to unseasonal rains; analyst questioned sustainability of the aspirational target.
Key quotes
- We delivered a strong quarter with 11% top line growth, 10% in constant currency.
- International business came to the party big time this time. 13% revenue growth, 8% in constant currency, with EBIT growth of 60%.
- We do expect that now that we've got stable pricing and we've built out more infrastructure for distribution, we continue to drive volumes.
