Systematix Research Report

Prataap Snacks Ltd.'s Q2 FY22 revenues grew 13% YoY (versus our estimate of 9%) to Rs 3.7 billion as economic activities regained momentum.

Sales volumes surpassed pre Covid-19 levels in several product categories.

Distribution channels normalised with the easing of lockdown restrictions, leading to a recovery in impulse purchases.

Process re-engineering and cost-optimisation mitigated the impact of a ~34% YoY inflation in palm oil (~14% of sales) on Prataap Snacks’ margins.

Gross margin contracted 178 basis points to 28.1% while Ebitda margin contracted 62 bps to 6.5% (versus our estimate of 3%).

Fire accident at the newly setup plant in Kolkata on November 03, 2021 will not impact sales but may dent margins marginally.
