For 1QFY2014, Marico posted a strong 25.4% yoy growth in its consolidated net profit to `155cr, aided by an 187bp yoy increase in OPM to 16.5%. The OPM increased on account of use of low-cost copra inventory. Domestic volume growth stood at 10%. Key highlights during the quarter: The domestic consumer business posted a growth of 7% despite a 10% volume growth, due to the price cuts undertaken by the company particularly in Parachute. While volume growth in Parachute stood at 4% yoy, revenue of the brand declined by 3%. Saffola posted a volume growth of 10%, with the revenue growth coming in lower at 6%. The international business posted a top-line growth of 15% yoy with constant currency growth coming in at 13% yoy. The company continued to perform well in geographies such as Egypt, Vietnam and Bangladesh. However, business in GCC continued to report a decline. The companys performance in this region was affected due to certain execution challenges. The OPM rose by 187bp on a yoy basis aided by higher gross margin and decline in other expenses as a percentage of sales. Outlook and valuation: Going ahead, we expect Marico to post a healthy growth in the domestic business aided by its strong brands. The recent acquisitions made by the company too are expected to fuel growth in the future. At the current market price, the stock is trading at 24.6x FY2015E EPS. We believe the stock is fairly priced and hence, maintain our Neutral rating on the stock.

Top-line growth at 9%
Domestic business: The domestic consumer business posted a growth of 7% despite a 10% volume growth, due to the price cuts undertaken by the company particularly in Parachute. While volume growth in Parachute stood at 4% yoy, revenue of the brand declined by 3%. The sale of Parachute was adversely impacted by the Local Body Tax (LBT) issue in Maharashtra with Maharashtra being a key market for coconut oil. The proportion of pouch packs in the coconut oil portfolio has reduced to less than 15%. Saffola posted a volume growth of 10%, with the revenue growth coming in lower at 6%. The company had initiated certain price cuts in select packs to the tune of 2% to 3% to boost Saffolas volume. Value added hair oils posted a volume growth of 16% during the quarter. Youth brands (Set Wet, Zatak) too posted an impressive growth and registered a top-line of `55cr. International business: The companys international business posted a top-line growth of 15% yoy with the constant currency growth coming in at 13% yoy. The company continued to perform well in geographies such as Bangladesh, Vietnam and Egypt. However, business in GCC continued to report a decline. The Bangladesh business posted a healthy growth of 16% yoy with inflation in the country showing downward trend. The Egypt business posted a healthy growth of 30% yoy during the quarter despite the internal disturbances in the country. Marico had carried out a packaging change in its Parachute hair cream portfolio in GCC, which met with some execution challenges and poor reception from consumers, thus resulting in a de-growth on the top-line front. The company has stepped up its advertising expenditure and expects business to pick-up in this region in FY2014.

Investment arguments
Impressive volume growth across categories: Marico has not witnessed any significant fall in volume growth despite the slowdown in consumption witnessed in the economy. Key raw-material prices softened considerably in FY2013 and are expected to remain benign going ahead. Thus, we expect the company to post a margin expansion over FY2013-15. International business to bounce back going ahead: The international business now contributes ~22% to the companys top-line. Marico maintains its leadership position in different categories in different regions. We expect the companys international business to post better performance going ahead due to signs of improvement seen in business environment in the international markets.
