Overall updates
The non-oral care revenue growth focus is continued in all the regions and the business pipeline is ever strong to deliver the same. India revenue is expected to normalize with every passing quarter of this financial year. All other regions have delivered a strong revenue growth sequentially. Americas and Europe are expected to continue the growth trajectory. The lower margin in some of the geographies due to lower volumes/ product mix, initial expenditure incurred towards various strategic programmes and new location/ relocation like Assam and Russia in the H1 shall normalize going forward yielding benefits from these initiatives.
The revenue growth would have been higher but for India revenue growth, which is continued to be impacted by pharma regulation and lower offtake by key customer. India revenue is also impacted by transporter strike. Adjusted for the same the consolidated revenue growth would have been at 10.6% and 12.3% for the quarter and YTD respectively (at constant currency 6.4% and 7.1% respectively).
Adjusted for India Pharma Regulation and transporter strike impact, EBIDTA would have been at 19.1% as against reported 18.2% and EBIT would have been at 12.7% as against reported 11.7%. The margin is also impacted due to time lag in RM price pass thru and product mix.
