Management Comments :

Sudhir Sitapati, Managing Director and CEO, GCPL, said: We delivered a weak performance in 4Q FY 2022. Overall sales grew by 7% and our full yearsales grew in double-digits. However, this growth was driven by pricing. We continue to believe that with the relatively non-discretionary, mass pricing of our portfolio and very good performance on market shares, volume growth will return in the medium term. Our overall EBITDA declined by 9% (without one-offs) driven by unprecedented global commodity inflation and scale deleverage in Indonesia. PAT without exceptional items and one-offs declined by 4%. From a category perspective, we saw a strong performance in Personal Care, which grew by 18%. Home Care delivered a weak performance and declined by 7%. From a geography perspective, India grew at 9%. Our Africa, USA and Middle East business continued its robust growth trajectory, growing at 15% in INR and 14% in constant currency terms. Performance in our Indonesian business was weak, declining by 15% in INR and 16% in constant currency terms. We continue to have a healthy balance sheet and our net debt to equity ratio continues to come down. We are on a journey to reduce inventory and wasted cost and are deploying this to drive profitable and sustainable volume growth across our portfolio through category development. We remain committed to our purpose of bringing the goodness of health and beauty to consumers in emerging markets. We were recently ranked amongst BW Businessworld’s list of India’s top 10 sustainable companies for the second year in a row.
