The underlying volume growth stood at 4.1%. Adjusting for the impact of Ind AS, net sales came in at 2102.7 crore (I-direct estimate: 2264 crore) The domestic business grew by 0.5% YoY led by growth of 11.6%, 4.3%, 2% growth in oral care, foods & home care segments, respectively. However, skin care, digestives, OTC, hair care segments witnessed a subdued performance. Health supplements reported volume growth of 6.7% but flattish sales growth EBITDA margins improved 130 bps to 17.9% (I-direct estimate: 16.2%) mainly due to judicious A&P (down 161 bps as percentage of sales) & soft input costs (down 106 bps as percentage of sales). However, higher employee cost partially offset the above savings PAT increased 11.8% YoY to 292.8 crore (I-direct estimate: 300.3 crore) aided by higher EBITDA & 27.8% YoY increase in other income to 61 crore Presence in niche categories to aid in steady revenue growth Dabur India (DIL) has a strong portfolio of brands (Dabur Chyawanprash, Real, Hajmola, Vatika, Amla, Fem, Honey, Meswak, Dabur Red) with the focus largely on ayurvedic & healthcare offerings. The company s diverse product portfolio (hair care, oral care, skin care, home care, health supplements, digestives, OTC & ethicals) and presence in niche categories has aided revenue growth at a robust 18.6% CAGR in FY09-15. Led by DIL s brand strength in higher growth niche segments & further strengthening of the portfolio through new launches focusing on healthcare, we estimate revenue growth at 10.8% CAGR in FY16-18E. Direct beneficiary of normal monsoon with strong presence in rural areas In the last few years (FY11-15), DIL has augmented its rural reach from ~14,000 villages to ~45,000 villages through its Project Double. The initiative played out extremely well for DIL by increasing contribution to booming rural demand in revenues to 45% from ~30% earlier. It also aided in maintaining volume growth at 8-11%. Going forward, it intends to reach ~60000 villages by FY17E. With monsoons progressing in a normal manner, we expect DIL to capitalise on a revival in rural consumption as a result of this presence in rural India. Also, with DIL planning to increase its healthcare offerings, it is aiming to increase its urban coverage by capturing the untapped chemist network through a new initiative called Project CORE. It has increased its chemist network reach from ~31000 (FY13) to ~75000 in FY15. Quarterly blip does not impact long term growth potential; maintain BUY Since its inception, DIL has efficiently leveraged ayurveda & herbal product offerings to its advantage. DIL s portfolio of traditional products, the category that has piqued consumer interest in recent times, straddles from Meswak, premium herbal toothpaste, to recently launched Hajmola Yoodley, an ethnic beverage to capture fast growing segment of traditional beverages. Thus, we believe DIL is in a healthy position to capitalise on tailwinds generated for demand of ayurvedic & herbal products in the Indian FMCG market. We expect DIL to clock sales growth of 10.8% CAGR in FY16-18E on the back of ~8% volume growth. We estimate earnings CAGR of 14.7% in FY16-18E. We reiterate BUY recommendation on the stock with a target price of 338/share. ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research

Company Analysis Revenue growth to remain stable largely led by volumes & initiatives DIL s revenue growth has remained robust at 18.6% CAGR (FY09-15) buoyed by its diverse & niche product portfolio, a slew of product launches and synergistic inorganic acquisitions (Fem in FY09, Namaste in FY11, Hobi in FY11) both in the domestic as well as international markets. Even in a slowing consumer demand scenario from H2FY13, DIL managed to maintain its healthy revenue growth of 12-16% led by volume growth of 8-11% until Q2FY16. The slowdown, however, largely impacted the company s hair oil (segment as a whole witnessing stagnation in growth) & skin care growth (impacted by lower discretionary demand). Of late, there was intense competition in health supplements (Dabur Chyawanprash, Dabur Honey) mainly due to entry of Patanjali (while keeping the oral care (Meswak & Dabur Red), home care (Odonil, Odomos), foods (Real, Real Activ), digestive (Hajmola) and OTC & ethicals portfolio growth healthy. DIL launched Project 50:50 in FY15 wherein it will focus on top 130 cities in India that contribute 50% of urban consumption to drive revenues. Under this initiative, Dabur will split the sales team for wholesale & retail channels to better tap the demand in urban markets. According to the company, most of these cities are in South India, which contribute 15-20% of total revenue for Dabur. Dabur launched Project LEAD in FY16 under which front-end teams will be separated for healthcare & other domestic FMCG business to enable better focus on these segments. For this purpose, DIL would hire ~275 medical representatives. DIL expects annual cost of ~ 10-12 crore towards Project LEAD. Dabur forayed into the ayurvedic hair oil segment with the launch of Keratex (previously a pharma product but now an OTC product) in FY15. DIL launched Dabur Honey fruit spread (four variants), carbonated fruitbased beverage Real VOLO, additional variants under Real & Real Activ fruit juices in domestic market & additional variants under Dermoviva facial fluids, body lotion, face cream & under Hazmazza in international markets in Q1FY17. Riding on the back of promotions, DIL s entry into honey fruit spreads is expected to drive premiumisation in the honey segment and hence, combat an indigenous rival that has entered honey category with deep discount pricing model. Going ahead, we believe the company s increasing focus on innovations and strengthening presence both in rural and urban India would aid volumes. We expect revenue growth at 10.8% CAGR in FY16-18E, largely led by volumes.

Along with a changing sales mix (more towards the products witnessing constant demand than seasonal demand), Dabur has efficiently managed its raw material expenses and marketing expenses in order to sustain its margins. Going ahead, with continued focus on the healthcare portfolio, aggressive expansion through new launches, expansion in reach & change in sales mix, we believe margins would remain sturdy at 20.7% by FY18E. We believe that aided by the company s ability to sustain a high brand equity in its segments, fluctuations in raw material cost, if any, will be absorbed efficiently without impacting margins. However, we believe that any savings in raw material costs would be directed towards higher advertisement & promotion expenses. 60 50 40 30 20 16.6 18.6 18.5 16.8 17.4 14.1 16.5 17.0 16.3 14.3 18.5 15.4 16.4 16.0 16.6 19.3 19.7 20.7 25 20 15 10 10 5 0 FY09 FY10 FY11 FY12 Q1FY13 Q2FY13 Q3FY13 Q4FY13 FY13 Q1FY14 Q2FY14 Q3FY14 Q4FY14 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17E FY18E 0 RM Cost to Sales EBITDA Margins Adex to Sales ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research Page 4

Expansion in distribution network to augur well for future DIL has efficiently expanded its distribution network in rural India through Project Double since FY11. Through Project Double, the company expanded its reach from ~14000 villages in FY11 to ~45000 villages in FY15. The extension in rural India paid off well for the company in capturing booming rural demand in India in FY11-14. With initial signs of softening rural demand following a weak economic scenario and slow urban demand recovery, going ahead, the company limited its rural reach since FY14, and now plans to consolidate its position further. It plans to increase the number of SKUs in existing rural distribution centres and increase its offerings in existing rural markets along with a few new launches. Dabur plans to extend its rural reach to ~60,000 villages by FY17E. On the urban front, DIL is aiming to increase its presence in the chemist channels of distribution considering the healthcare focus of the company s portfolio. Following the target to increase chemist coverage, DIL launched Project CORE Chemist Outlet and Range Expansion in FY14. Further, the company increased its chemist distribution points from ~31,000 outlets (FY13) to ~75,000 outlets in FY15. Dabur launched Project LEAD Leveraging through Empowered Anchoring & Detailing in Q1FY16 under which the front end teams will be separated for healthcare (OTC & ethicals) and other domestic FMCG business to enable better focus on these segments. With DIL s strength of implementation, we believe the company s constant focus on managing sales and distribution efficiently in both urban and rural markets along with a strong innovation pipeline, revenue and margin growth would continue to remain stable. Ayurveda, herbal products remain ace up Dabur s sleeve Dabur, having been present in India for more than 125 years, has built its strong edifice by leveraging on Ayurveda & herbal product offerings. The recent rise of Patanjali Ayurveda has been able to garner public attention towards herbal offerings & products of Ayurvedic origin. Though it has resulted in disruptive competition in many categories in which the company is present, we believe Dabur is well equipped with its array of brands with high consumer recall to counter its rivals. DIL s portfolio of traditional products, the category that has piqued consumer interest in recent times, straddles from Meswak, a premium toothpaste under the herbal segment, to the recently launched Hajmola Yoodley, an ethnic beverage to capture the fast growing segment of traditional beverages. Thus, we believe that on the back of strong brand equity enjoyed by its products, DIL is in a healthy position to capitalise on the tailwinds generated for demand of Ayurvedic & herbal products in the Indian FMCG market due to the Patanjali phenomenon. ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research Page 5

Outlook & valuation We believe DIL s strong and niche product portfolio would continue to generate stable revenue and earnings growth at 10.8% and 14.7% CAGR in FY16-18E. Further, the increase in distribution expansion and constant innovation would be catalysed if there is a revival in consumer demand. We believe that given the diverse product portfolio, the company s margins would remain sustainable and less prone to fluctuations in raw material prices. Hence, we remain positive on the long term outlook of the company. The only concern for us remains the challenging near term consumer demand scenario. However, the progress of monsoon as per expectations and other government measures to kick start rural growth engine remain key triggers to a rural demand revival in the medium-term. Successful resolution of the Nepal border blockade issue has relieved DIL of the hiccups it faced in sales growth in FY16. We believe that continuous innovation to counter moderating growth and aggressive expansion in distribution network would lead to stable volume growth, going forward. We believe sales growth in the domestic business would revive, going forward and expect robust margins at 20.7% by FY18E. Given DIL s strong brands & market development of the niche segments (packaged foods & juices, health supplements) and revival in urban demand, valuation multiples will command a premium to its historic averages.
