✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Dabur India reported a steady Q1 FY25 with consolidated revenue growing 7% YoY in INR terms, driven by 5.2% volume growth in the domestic business. International business surged 18.4% in constant currency, though currency devaluation impacted INR growth. Gross margins expanded 120 bps YoY, aided by moderation in input costs and cost-saving initiatives. Operating profit grew 8.3%, with margin expansion of 30 bps. The company gained market share in 95% of its portfolio, with strong performance in oral care (11.4% growth), healthcare (7%), and HPC (8.1%). Rural recovery is underway, with sequential volume improvement over the past three quarters. Management remains optimistic about demand pickup driven by normal monsoons and rural-focused government spending. Key risk: intense competition in hair oils and pricing pressure in the juices/nectars segment due to cola price wars.
डाबर इंडिया ने पहली तिमाही (Q1 FY25) में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल आय (रेवेन्यू) पिछले साल की तुलना में 7% बढ़ी। भारत में बिक्री की मात्रा (वॉल्यूम) 5.2% बढ़ी। विदेशी कारोबार में 18.4% की तेजी आई, लेकिन मुद्रा में गिरावट से रुपये में आय पर असर पड़ा। कच्चे माल की लागत कम होने और बचत के उपायों से कंपनी का मुनाफा बढ़ा। ओरल केयर (11.4%), हेल्थकेयर (7%) और एचपीसी (8.1%) में अच्छी बढ़त रही। गांवों में मांग धीरे-धीरे सुधर रही है। कंपनी को अच्छी बारिश और सरकार के ग्रामीण खर्च से उम्मीद है। चुनौती: हेयर ऑयल में कड़ी प्रतिस्पर्धा और जूस सेगमेंट में कोला कंपनियों से कीमतों का दबाव।
