1 INSTITUTIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUVR IN) Gross margin pressure managed well INDIA FMCG Quarterly Update Top takeaways from Q2FY19 HUL saw its fourth consecutive quarter of double digit volume growth (+1% and ahead of consensus estimate of 8 9%) as rural areas outperformed urban. Performance across segments was broad based. Gross margin pressures (down 6bps yoy) were very well managed as its strategy of focussing on reducing cost inefficiencies, zero based budgeting, building responsive and agile supply chains is delivering required results. Other expenses remained flat and declined 16 bps (% of sales) yoy. Adjusted PAT grew 23% yoy, much above our estimate due to higher other income (up 5% yoy) and lower taxation (tax rate down c.11bps). Other income was higher (up 5%) due to interest on a prior period tax assessment order and accounting of a government grant (earlier recorded in other income ). Conference call takeaways Competitive intensity has cooled off marginally across categories. Oral care segment is still not meeting its internal expectations; however, central and north India did exceedingly well. Purifier business was impacted as the market is seeing a shift from gravity (HUL has higher salience) towards electronic / RO. Personal wash: Premium brands continue to do well; however, there are lot of opportunities to improve the growth rate in Lux and Lifebuoy. Ice cream business: Management highlighted the acquisition of Adityaa Milk Ice Creams, which provides a differentiated business model. It will focus on its core market (Karnataka) along with adjoining markets of Maharashtra, Goa, and Kerala. Beverages: Coffee continued to do well; launched Taaza (mass market) tea brand in Punjab, which provides an opportunity to upgrade customers from loose tea. Gross margin pressure / high base to moderate performance in 2HFY19; maintain Neutral We believe HUL has all the right ingredients (1) management focus on premiumization, (2) strengthening core categories, (3) improving distribution productivity using digital means, and (4) foray into under penetrated fast growing categories to sustain high single digit volume growth in the medium term. However, it may not be in position to fully pass on inflationary pressure in RM as consumers prefer to cut discretionary spending (relevant for its personal care portfolio) and as volume growth is tapering to mid single digits from 2HFY19 (due to a high base). We believe its current valuation (5x FY2 EPS) does not fully factor these risks and we maintain Neutral with a target of Rs 1,76 (5x Dec 2 EPS) vs. Rs 1,72 (5x Sept 2 EPS) earlier. 12 October 218 Neutral (Maintain) CMP RS 1569 / TARGET RS 176 (13%) COMPANY DATA O/S SHARES (MN) : 2165 MARKET CAP (RSBN) : 3396 MARKET CAP (USDBN) : WK HI/LO (RS) : 188 / 1217 LIQUIDITY 3M (USDMN) : 38.4 PAR VALUE (RS) : 1 SHARE HOLDING PATTERN, % Sep 18 Jun 18 Mar 18 PROMOTERS : FII / NRI : FI / MF : NON PRO : PUBLIC & OTHERS : KEY FINANCIALS Rs mn FY19E FY2E FY21E Net Sales 3,9,45 4,38,671 4,92,847 EBIDTA 85,178 96,582 1,9,478 Net Profit 61,361 69,323 78,325 EPS, Rs PER, x EV/EBIDTA, x P/BV, x ROE, % Vishal Gutka ( ) vgutka@phillipcapital.in Preeyam Tolia ( ) ptolia@phillipcapital.in (Rs mn) 2QFY19 2QFY18 yoy 1QFY19 qoq Vs.

3 Con call takeaways Though rural grew ahead of urban, its growth has slowed down to 1.2x of urban growth from 1.5x earlier. Crude and currency headwinds remain key risks ahead. HUL will take a calibrated price hike depending upon market condition and inflation. Competition intensity stays, but it has slowed down. HUL expects competition to decelerate further in the later part of H2FY19. Aayush is doing well in southern regions, but it needs to tweak the either product formulation or pricing mix for the rest of the regions. Home care Double digit volume growth continues, driven by fabric wash and household care (Domex). Premiumization and new market development led to doubledigit growth in fabric wash. Rin saw strong growth driven by a water conservation campaign in Tamil Nadu. HUL launched Domex Pick up the Brush ad campaign in south India to spread awareness (that cleaning toilets is not taboo) and it has teamed up with southern superstars Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, and Rana Daggubatti for this campaign. Personal care Personal wash growth was driven by its premium portfolio (Dove and Pears), but LUX and Lifebuoy will see more action in coming quarters in terms of new activation and innovation, as there plenty of opportunity to improve growth rates. HUL launched Lifebuoy Rs 5 packs in West Bengal, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. Strong performance in skin care continues across segments and subsegments. Men s Fair & Lovely was relaunched in Q2 and was well received by consumers. TRESemme was re launched after it completed five years in India with the proposition of superior fragrance and packaging. Problems in oral care continue as it is performing below management expectations; however, central and north regions performed well. Impressive growth in deodorants was led by strong performance of innovations in Rexona and Axe (by launching Axe Ticket). Foods & Refreshment Acquired Adityaa Milk Ice cream in Karnataka; HUL will leverage its distribution and business model to increase its penetration in south and adjoining regions. It will eventually place Aadityaa with Kwality Walls. Launched Brooke Bond Taaza in Punjab; is seeing good upgradation from loose tea. Page 3 PHILLIPCAPITAL INDIA RESEARCH
