1 2QFY19 Result Update Institutional Equities Hindustan Unilever 15 October 2018 Reuters: HLL.BO; Bloomberg: HUVR IN Best Proxy In A VUCA World Hindustan Unilever s (HUVR) overall performance in 2QFY19 was broadly in line with our expectations. The company reported yet another quarter of strong volume-led growth. Top-line adjusted for fiscal incentive adjustment was in line with our expectations. Operating profit and net earnings grew 20% and 26% YoY, respectively. This was the fifth consecutive quarter of more than 20% growth in EBITDA for HUVR. Domestic consumer growth of 12% was well ahead of 9% market growth. Volume growth adjusted for base saw a 100bps improvement as compared to previous quarter despite challenges of long truckers strike and unprecedented floods in Kerala. The growth was broad-based wherein all the categories continued their double-digit growth, despite lack of a favourable base till the last quarter. We believe that this is a function of stable demand trend, rural growth surpassing urban growth, HUVR s own initiatives and its investment in market development activities and also consistent innovation well ahead of peers. HUVR s strong focus on cost optimization and moderate competitive intensity helped the company in boosting operating margins by 160bps YoY despite a 200bps QoQ expansion in material costs. A calibrated pricing approach and improved rural trends in our opinion should help HUVR in maintaining high single digit volume growth in 2HFY19 and FY20 despite a not so favourable base. Its constant thrust on innovation, savings programme and premiumisation would support margin expansion. Taking cognisance of the inflationary environment after the sharp rise in crude oil prices and depreciation of the INR, we have revised our estimates downwards. We believe that considering the improvement in organisational capabilities through investment in customer development and supply chain, HUVR s ability to outperform in this volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) world remains strong. Therefore, we continue to retain our Buy rating on HUVR with a revised target price of Rs.1,900 (from Rs.2,025 earlier) indicating an upside of 21% from CMP. The revision in target price factors in rolling forward the valuation to September 2020E earnings, reduction in earnings estimates by 2%-5%(FY19E and FY20E) and revised target PE multiple of 50x (from 55x earlier) to reflect the increased macro risks. Broad-based growth: HUVR has again delivered a strong double-digit volume-led growth in 2QFY18. Domestic consumer growth of 12% was supported by a 10% growth in volume across categories. All the categories grew in double digits, despite lack of a favourable base till the last quarter. There were many new product launches/campaigns (see Exhibit 7) during the quarter across categories. Robust operating profit growth continues: Strong focus on cost savings and efficiency along with a healthy growth trajectory of premium portfolio helped HUVR to report robust operating earnings growth despite crude oil price-related pressure. We believe that its constant thrust on innovation, savings programme and premiumisation would continue to support margin expansion. Outlook and valuation: We believe that considering the improvement in organisational capabilities through investment in customer development and supply chain, HUVR s ability to outperform in this VUCA world remains strong and it will continue to trade at a premium valuation compared to peers. We have retained Buy rating, after revising our estimates and rolling forward the valuation to Sept 2020E earnings, with a revised target price of Rs1,900 and target PE of 50x, indicating an upside of 21%.

4 Conference-call highlights HUVR reported 11% sales growth led by a strong volume growth of 10% in 1QFY19. The growth was broad-based as all categories grew in double digits. This was similar to the previous quarter. The management indicated that rural growth surpassed urban growth. Also, it stated that demand outlook is stable. We believe the improved rural trajectory will boost volume growth in the coming quarters. Exhibit 6: Rural growth inching ahead of urban markets Source: Company presentation, Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities Research Strong volume-driven growth in home care was sustained wherein the fabric wash category grew in double digits led by premiumisation and market develeopment. Household care category also witnessed a strong volume growth. Personal care category also reported robust growth. Personal wash category grew on the back of strong growth in the premium portfolio namely, Dove and Pears soaps and also HUVR launched Lifebuoy at Rs5 price point to step up penetration in select markets. All other personal product segments continued their strong growth momentum on the back of ongoing innovation and market development activities. Food solution portfolio growth was led by strong performance of beverage portfolio and new activations etc. Exhibit 7: New product launches/campaigns during the quarter Category Brand Description Home care Domex Pick up the brush campaign in south India. Beauty and personal care Lifebuoy Penetration step-up Rs5 access pack launched in select markets. Beauty and personal care Fair & Lovely Relaunch of Men s Fair & Lovely Beauty and personal care TRESemme Relaunch with superior fragrance and packaging.

Source: Company presentation, Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities Research Performance of the naturals portfolio tracked internal expectations and is set to grow 2.5x the company average growth rate. Performance of Lever Ayush range and Indu Lekha has been satisfactory. Ayush is tracking expectations in south India market. The management is committed to invest in Ayush brand which will further strengthen its presence in the naturals market in other regions. 4 Hindustan Unilever

5 Exhibit 8: Strong profile of naturals across categories Source: Company presentation, Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities Research Operating margin during the quarter was up 160bps YoY, despite input price-related pressure. Segmentwise, all the divisions reported margin improvement led by healthy growth trend, premiumisation and strong product initiatives of HUVR. The management indicated that considering the crude oil prices and overall depreciation in the currency, pricing will come into play in 2HFY19 to mitigate its impact. Also, we believe the overall strategy to re-image HUVR by investing on customer development and market development activities will support margin expansion. In the quarter gone by also, the speed and agility across the value chain has served well the company and that gives it an edge over peers, in our opinion. Exhibit 9: Speed and agility across the value chain Source: Company presentation, Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities Research The management indicated that HUVR witnessed competitive pressure easing during the quarter. Also, considering the cost pressure, other consumer companies are not investing enough on market development and advertising. This will help HUVR to build its market share further. Also, in modern trade, the competitive pressure it witnessed a year ago was much higher compared to the current scenario. Acquisition of Adityaa Milk Ice Cream was completed in the last week of September 2018 and hence its impact on the performance was negligible, but the management sounded extremely optimistic on ice cream and frozen dessert space. 5 Hindustan Unilever

6 Exhibit 10: Expansion of ice-cream portfolio Source: Company presentation, Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities Research There has been one change in the accounting treatment. Fiscal incentives received for the factories located in specific areas have been reported under other income as against other operating income in the past. This will lower the revenue and EBITDA numbers. Adjusted for that, the revenues were broadly in line with our expectation. HUVR has appointed Mr. Leo Puri as an independent director who has an experience in global firms like McKinsey and Co, A.T. Kearney etc. Also, the HUVR board has recommended an interim dividend of Rs9 per share as against Rs8 per share in the same period last year. 6 Hindustan Unilever
