✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Dabur India delivered a solid Q4 FY26 with consolidated revenue growth of 7.3% YoY, driven by a strong domestic FMCG performance of 9.5% (volume growth 6%). The HPC portfolio was the standout, growing 17% with hair oils up 28% and home care up 24%. Healthcare ex-glucose grew 12.5%, while beverages saw sequential recovery. Management revised FY27 revenue guidance upward to low double-digits (from high single-digit), supported by price increases to offset 10% input cost inflation. EBITDA grew 8.2% and PAT 15%. Key risks include Middle East geopolitical headwinds impacting international business (2.5% growth) and potential El Niño disrupting summer-sensitive categories. Margin expansion is targeted through pricing, premiumization, and cost savings, though crude-linked inflation remains a watchpoint.

NEW RISK
El Niño risk to summer-sensitive categories
Unseasonal rains could impact beverages and glucose portfolios, which are heavily dependent on summer demand.
NEW RISK
Input cost inflation may pressure margins if price increases lag
Crude-linked raw material and packaging costs are rising ~10%, and while price increases are planned, sustained inflation could erode margins if not fully passed through.
NEW RISK
Nielsen data showing FMCG growth moderation
Management noted a dichotomy between strong company results and Nielsen data showing sequential FMCG growth moderation, which could indicate broader demand slowdown.
RISK GONE
Coconut oil price volatility
Coconut oil prices have softened but remain volatile; further declines could impact revenue growth as price-driven growth subsides.
RISK GONE
Competitive intensity in oral care
Competition in oral care, especially in modern trade, remains high; management noted abatement but not sustained.
RISK GONE
