Britannia Industries - Q1 FY22 Result Report - YES Securities

(Rating: BUY, TP: Rs4,290, Upside: 22.6%)

- View - We build in 10% revenue/PAT CAGR over FY21-24E. We upgrade our Rating to BUY from Add with a TP of Rs 4,290 based on 42x FY24E earnings, still a 10% discount to its 5-yr average P/E multiple. A couple more quarters of strong growth delivery should help take the stock back to a 45x earnings multiple, in-line with peers and its historic averages, driving further upside.

- Revenue - Marginal revenue decline of 0.5% (+1% volume growth) on a strong base of 27% at Rs 34bn indicating a strong resurgence in demand coupled with share gains.

- Gross margins - Gross margins plunged 300bps to 38.7% due to sharp inflation in palm oil and crude prices which the company did not fully pass on given the environment.

- Management commentary - Revenue/PAT saw a 24-month growth of 25%/55% indicating strong distribution-led growth, premiumization and cost efficiencies. Company will continue to take calibrated price hikes to pass on the 7-9% inflation. Restarted marketing campaigns and market development efforts on innovations/relaunches.
