In its December quarter preview note, Kotak Institutional Equities said the FMCG firm is well-placed to deliver strong revenue growth (9.7 per cent YoY) in the FMCG pack, led by 7 per cent volume and 2.7 per cent pricing growth. To be sure, the base quarter volumes were impacted by steep price increase in Maggi LUP.
“We model 10.1 per cent/1.5 per cent YoY growth in domestic/export revenues. We expect GM to be broadly flattish sequentially(up 10 bps QoQ) at 56.6 per cent (170 bps YoY), partly aided by deflation in edible oils, wheat, packaging and dairy prices,” Kotak said.
Kotak expects Ebitda margin for Nestle India to come in at 23.8 epr cent down 65 basis points QoQ, up 80 bps YoY, as increased A&P spends offset gross margin expansion.
