The consolidated net sales for June 2016 quarter increased by 36% to Rs 2053.89 crore. OPM has declined marginally to 8.1%. The operating profit inclined by 35% to Rs 167.33 crore. The net profit has increased by just 2% to Rs 63.76 crore due to increase in effective tax rate.
Commenting on the performance, Mr. A.B. Godrej Chairman, Godrej Industries Limited, said:
I am pleased to share that in Q1FY17 Godrej Industries Limited recorded a healthy growth of 33% in consolidated Total Income.
After an excellent FY2016, Godrej Properties have made a steady beginning in Q1FY17. A couple of very important milestones were achieved in Q1FY17. Godrej BKC received its occupancy certificate and construction of both phases of flagship project ‘The Trees' commenced.
Godrej Agrovet had a healthy mix of organic and acquisitive growth with Total Income growing by 50% and profits by 29% over Q1FY16.
Godrej Consumer Products' consolidated sales increased by 9% and EBITDA by 20%, in constant currency terms. This performance was delivered despite the sluggish business environment across many geographies where it operates. GCPL delivered healthy profits driven by judicious cost control and commodity tailwinds.
We are hopeful that the good monsoons in India should lead to a pick up in rural demand later this year. We should also see a boost to consumption in India, following the implementation of Seventh Pay Commission and the passing of the Goods & Services Tax.
Going forward, through our CREATE strategy, we will continue to strengthen our position in all our core businesses while fostering an inspiring place to work and creating shared value for all our stakeholders.
