✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Godrej Consumer Products reported a tough Q3 FY25 with consolidated organic revenue growth of 6% but flat volumes and a 10% decline in reported EBITDA. India business was particularly weak, with flat volumes, 4% revenue growth, and 21% EBITDA decline, driven by macro slowdown, high palm oil prices causing destocking, and a poor household insecticide season. Management maintained advertising spend at ~10% and consolidated EBITDA margin at ~20%. International businesses performed better, with Indonesia growing 9% revenue and 12% EBITDA, and Latin America seeing >25% volume growth. Management expects sequential improvement in volume and value growth by Q4 FY25 and margin recovery by H1 FY26. Key risks include sustained urban consumption weakness and high PFAD prices delaying margin normalization.
गोधरेज कंज्यूमर प्रोडक्ट्स की तीसरी तिमाही (अक्टूबर-दिसंबर 2024) मुश्किल रही। कंपनी की कमाई 6% बढ़ी, लेकिन बिक्री की मात्रा (वॉल्यूम) स्थिर रही और मुनाफा (EBITDA) 10% गिर गया। भारत में कारोबार कमजोर रहा - वॉल्यूम नहीं बढ़ा, कमाई सिर्फ 4% बढ़ी और मुनाफा 21% गिरा। इसकी वजहें थीं: अर्थव्यवस्था में सुस्ती, पाम तेल के ऊंचे दामों के कारण डीलरों ने स्टॉक कम किया, और कीटनाशकों की बिक्री का मौसम खराब रहा। कंपनी ने विज्ञापन पर खर्च जारी रखा और मुनाफा मार्जिन 20% रहा। विदेशों में हालात बेहतर थे - इंडोनेशिया में कमाई 9% और मुनाफा 12% बढ़ा, लैटिन अमेरिका में वॉल्यूम 25% से ज्यादा बढ़ा। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि मार्च 2025 तिमाही में वॉल्यूम और कमाई में सुधार होगा, और अगले साल की पहली छमाही तक मुनाफा सामान्य हो जाएगा। जोखिम: शहरी खपत कमजोर रह सकती है और पाम तेल के ऊंचे दाम मुनाफा सुधार में देरी कर सकते हैं।
