✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Tata Consumer Products reported a solid Q4 FY24 with consolidated revenue up 9% YoY to INR 3,927 crore, driven by India Foods (up 20% including Capital Foods) and International Business (up 7%). EBITDA grew 22% with margin expansion of 170 bps to 15.3%, aided by international restructuring benefits and cost synergies. India Beverages volumes were flat, but coffee grew 45% in Q4. Growth businesses (NourishCo, Soulfull, Capital Foods) continued strong momentum, growing 40% for the full year. Management guided for mid-single-digit volume growth in tea and continued margin accretion from international operations. Key risks include coffee price volatility impacting US margins and delayed summer affecting NourishCo's seasonal sales. The integration of Capital Foods and Organic India is on track for 100-day completion, with EPS accretion expected by FY27.
टाटा कंज्यूमर प्रोडक्ट्स ने चौथी तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कुल कमाई 9% बढ़कर 3,927 करोड़ रुपये हो गई। भारत में खाने के सामान की बिक्री 20% बढ़ी, जिसमें कैपिटल फूड्स का योगदान शामिल है। अंतरराष्ट्रीय कारोबार में 7% बढ़ोतरी हुई। कंपनी का मुनाफा 22% बढ़ा और मार्जिन 15.3% हो गया। चाय की बिक्री स्थिर रही, लेकिन कॉफी की बिक्री 45% बढ़ी। नए कारोबार जैसे नूरिशको, सोलफुल और कैपिटल फूड्स ने पूरे साल 40% वृद्धि दर्ज की। कंपनी को चाय में मामूली बढ़त और अंतरराष्ट्रीय कारोबार से मार्जिन में सुधार की उम्मीद है। जोखिमों में कॉफी की कीमतों में उतार-चढ़ाव और देर से आई गर्मी शामिल है। कैपिटल फूड्स और ऑर्गेनिक इंडिया का विलय सही चल रहा है, और 2027 तक प्रति शेयर मुनाफा बढ़ने की उम्मीद है।

low · data_observationNotable Quotes
We strongly feel that we have not lost market share, and therefore we would wait for competitive numbers to see where this pans out.
We are basing our numbers of growth on the 705-750 sort of number, and we will work off that base. We are not working on the 500-odd base because we know it is underpegged.
We do expect to see, as I said, the international margins, right now are about 200-300 bps better than our India businesses, overall businesses. We do expect to see that accretiveness to continue.
