Godrej Consumer Products reported Q3 FY24 results in line with expectations, with consolidated underlying volume growth of 5% and EBITDA growth of 16% ahead of sales. India volumes grew 12% and EBITDA 18%, driven by strong performance in hair color, air freshener, and fabric care. Indonesia delivered 9% volume growth and 12% EBITDA growth. The company launched two key innovations: Fab liquid detergent at a disruptive price of INR 99/liter and Goodknight Agarbatti with a novel molecule Renofluthrin, targeting the INR 1,200 crore illegal incense stick market. EBITDA margins improved to over 20% due to cost savings and benign input costs. Management expects steady margin improvement and double-digit volume growth in household insecticides. Risk: currency volatility in GAUM and LATAM, particularly Argentina, could impact reported sales.
गोदरेज कंज्यूमर प्रोडक्ट्स ने तीसरी तिमाही के नतीजे उम्मीद के मुताबिक पेश किए। कंपनी की बिक्री में 5% और मुनाफे (EBITDA) में 16% की बढ़ोतरी हुई। भारत में बिक्री 12% और मुनाफा 18% बढ़ा, जिसकी वजह हेयर कलर, एयर फ्रेशनर और कपड़े धोने के सामान की मजबूत मांग रही। इंडोनेशिया में बिक्री 9% और मुनाफा 12% बढ़ा। कंपनी ने दो नए उत्पाद लॉन्च किए: 99 रुपये लीटर वाला फैब लिक्विड डिटर्जेंट और गुडनाइट अगरबत्ती, जो 1200 करोड़ के अवैध अगरबत्ती बाजार को टारगेट करता है। लागत बचत से मुनाफा 20% से ऊपर पहुंच गया। प्रबंधन को मुनाफे में और सुधार और घरेलू कीटनाशकों में दोहरे अंकों की बिक्री बढ़ोतरी की उम्मीद है। जोखिम: अर्जेंटीना जैसे देशों में मुद्रा में उतार-चढ़ाव से बिक्री पर असर पड़ सकता है।
