“During the quarter, the company’s turnover grew 10 per cent with flat Underlying Volume Growth. We continued to grow significantly ahead of the market, gaining value and volume market shares. EBITDA margin at 24.6 per cent remained healthy despite high inflationary headwinds,” HUL said. 

Segment-wise, HUL said, “Home Care growth at 24% was broad based with a strong performance in Fabric Wash and Household Care. Beauty & Personal Care grew competitively at 4%. While Foods & Refreshment grew 5% on a very high prior year comparator, driven by solid performance in Beverages, Foods, and Ice-cream.” 

In the context of unprecedented inflation, we continue to manage our business dynamically driving savings harder across all lines of P&L and taking calibrated pricing actions using the principles of Net Revenue Management, HUL said adding that it continues to invest competitively behind our brands. 

Sanjiv Mehta, CEO and Managing Director said in a comment, “In challenging circumstances, we have grown competitively and protected our business model by maintaining margins in a healthy range. I am also pleased that we have become a Rs. 50,000 crore turnover company in this fiscal.” 

While there are near term concerns around significant inflation and slowing market growth, we are confident of the medium to long term prospects of the Indian FMCG sector and remain focused on delivering a Consistent, Competitive, Profitable and Responsible growth, Mehta added.
