Marico’s EBITDA margin has gone up 319 bps sequentially. The company’s Consolidated PAT growth of 8% on a like-for-like basis
Gross margin was down 759 bps YoY given the stark contrast in the cost of inputs consumed in the two quarters, as pricing interventions in the core portfolios could only partially alleviate the inflationary pressure. However, operating leverage benefits reduced the drop in EBITDA margin to 522 bps YoY, which stood 19.0% in Q1FY22. As a result, EBITDA was up 3% YoY, and recurring PAT was up 8% YoY. Reported PAT was down 7% due to exceptional gain in the base quarter.
Advertising & Sales Promotion grew by 27% YoY as the Company actively invested in its core franchises and recent Foods innovations while maintaining a low-key in discretionary categories.
The Company holds its medium-term aspiration of delivering 13-15% revenue growth on the back of 8-10% domestic volume growth and double-digit constant currency growth in the International business.
