2-Minute Summary
✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Dabur's Q4 FY25 consolidated revenue grew 3.6% in consumer currency terms to INR 12,563 crore, with PAT of INR 1,768 crore. India business declined ~3.4% due to inventory correction, high bases, and unfavorable seasons, while international business grew 19.3% in consumer currency. Gross margin contracted ~240bps in standalone due to inflation not fully passed through. Management outlined a seven-pillar strategy with McKinsey, targeting sustainable double-digit CAGR by FY28, including premiumization, portfolio rationalization (exiting tea, diapers, Vita), and M&A. Guidance for FY26 is high single-digit value growth, with sequential improvement expected. Risks include competitive intensity in beverages and oral care, and potential margin pressure from recycled plastic mandates.
डाबर की चौथी तिमाही (जनवरी-मार्च 2025) में कुल बिक्री 3.6% बढ़कर 12,563 करोड़ रुपये हुई। मुनाफा 1,768 करोड़ रुपये रहा। भारत में बिक्री करीब 3.4% घटी, क्योंकि दुकानों पर पुराना स्टॉप था और मौसम ठीक नहीं रहा। लेकिन विदेशों में बिक्री 19.3% बढ़ी। कच्चे माल की कीमतें बढ़ने से कंपनी का मुनाफा कम हुआ। अब डाबर ने मैकिन्से के साथ मिलकर 7 सूत्री योजना बनाई है। इसमें महंगे उत्पाद बेचना, कमजोर ब्रांड (जैसे चाय, डायपर, विटा) बंद करना और नई कंपनियां खरीदना शामिल है। अगले साल बिक्री में धीरे-धीरे सुधार की उम्मीद है। लेकिन पेय पदार्थ और टूथपेस्ट में कड़ी प्रतिस्पर्धा है।
