Nestlé India reported a dismal set of result with 1.3% dip profits.
- Sales were up 10.2% YoY largely led by price hikes
- EBITDA was at Rs. 924.7 crore, flat YoY, with margins at 23.2%
- PAT was at Rs. 594.7 crore (down 1.3% YoY) impacted by margin contraction
Key triggers for future price performance
- The company is undertaking a capex of Rs. 2600 crore in the next three to four years to expand the capacity of its core products
- NIL is increasing its rural footprint from 0.8 lakh villages to 1.2 lakh villages in the next three years
- Incessant commodity inflation is likely to adversely impact margins in the medium term. Price hikes are insufficient to fully pass on this inflation
- Commissioning of Sanand facility would aid revenue growth in core brands given packaged foods saw high demand in the last 18 months
