Prabhudas Lilladher Report

We are cutting FY22 earnings per share of Marico Ltd. by 4.1% on input cost pressures and higher ad spends post Q2 FY22 while FY23/24 earnings per share is expected to increase by 0.1%/1.9% as margins normalise to ~19% range.

We expect volume growth in both Saffola and Parachute to moderate to long term trajectory. Marico's medium term outlook remains positive given that:

  1. softening of copra prices will aid gross margin’s in H2 FY22

  2. foods on track to achieve Rs 5 billion revenue in FY22 which will help improve blended gross margin’s

  3. increased focus on go-to-markets expansion through chemist and food channel in urban and direct reach in rural

  4. increased focus on digital brands with aspiration of Rs 4.5-5 billion topline by FY24 and

  5. improved mobility and lower restriction to aid male grooming and premium hair nourishment.
