Its revenue stood at INR 23,398.1 Mn with volume growth of 3.0% in Q1FY18. In the quarter Britannia did not show much volume growth and remain lower as compared to Q1FY17 which was at 8.0% and 2.0% in Q4FY17. During the quarter revenue was impacted by de-stocking of goods due to implementation of GST, but going forward it aims to focus on bridging the gap, renovate and innovate premium products and enhance rural reach which will help in to increase penetration and distribution reach. Pressure remained in International business due to geopolitical situation and currency fluctuation in Middle East and Africa. Steady Margin: Britannia s Industries Ltd posted EBIDTA of INR 3,285.1 Mn which grew by 3.9% YoY and 6.6% QoQ, however during the quarter we have seen increase in cost of its raw material of sugar, milk and RPO, while price of flour remained under controlled. EBIDTA margins was seen at 14.0% in Q1FY18 as compared to 14.4% in Q1FY17 an decrease of 35 bps and 13.3% in Q4FY17 an increase of 74 bps. PAT during the quarter was at INR 2,159.7Mn with de-growth of 1.5% YoY and growth of 2.5% QoQ. Its PAT margin was at 9.2% as compared to 10.0% in Q1FY17 an decrease of 75 bps and 9.1% in Q4FY17 an improvement of 13 bps. During the quarter tax remained higher at 34.4% and going ahead it is expected to be in same range. Valuations & Views: Britannia industries remain one of the largest FMCG player with its major presence in biscuits segment. Britannia has posted better results in Q1FY18 but still it faced challenging environment ahead of GST implementation. We believe that with management focus on growing its portfolio with new innovative products in premium segment, capturing new markets and geography, increasing reach in distribution channel, focus to increase penetration in rural areas, untapped opportunities in the domestic and international market, etc will help it to grow faster in the market. We expect its revenue growth to be around 10-12% FY18E-FY19E. With Britannia's move to mitigate inflation of raw material price we anticipate improvement in margins, i.e. EBIDTA to 14.5% and PAT to 9.9% in FY19E.
