Manoj Menon: Hi everyone, it's a wonderful good evening, you know, from Mumbai to all of you. Bajaj
Consumer Care is a company covered by ICICI Securities and it's one of the top picks and a high
conviction buy rated stock for us. Today, it's our absolute pleasure to host the management for
the Q1 FY27 results conference call. The company is represented again by Mr. Naveen Pandey,
Managing Director; Mr. Dilip Kumar Maloo, Chief Financial Officer; and Mr. Aakash Gupta,
Head Finance. Over to management for the opening remarks, post which you will get the
opportunity to interact with the management. Thank you.
Naveen Pandey: [inaudible 0:01:13] Good evening to you all for the quarter one FY27 call for Bajaj Consumer
Care. I am happy to share that in an extremely dynamic and volatile environment, we've been
able to deliver another good quarter. In this quarter, the company was able to deliver a revenue
of INR341 crores with a growth of over 28%. As we are aware, this quarter was impacted with
unprecedented volatility in raw material prices due to the West Asia war and its cascading
impact.
As an organization, we took selective and calibrated price increases and MLH reduction across
our portfolio to protect our margin. Despite these measures, we saw our gross margins drop from
63% in the sequentially last quarter to 61.8% in this quarter. Please note that while this drop was
sequential against quarter four, it was a significant improvement over quarter one FY26, against
which we saw 510 basis point improvement.
We continued to invest in this quarter behind our brands and maintained our advertising spends
at 14.6% and chose to optimize on the other cost, fixed cost, including employee costs and the
other fixed costs, where we were able to take advantage of operating leverage and deliver strong
savings against the same quarter last year as well as against the sequential quarter.
In this quarter, if we look at it, we've been delivering, we have been able to deliver a total savings
of over 600 basis points on these lines against quarter one of FY26. Overall, as a result of all of
these, our EBITDA on a consolidated basis for quarter one has doubled to deliver an absolute
EBITDA of INR84.4 crores, which translates into a margin of 24.7% and the corresponding
PAT for quarter one stands at INR70.7 crores with a margin of 20.7.
The current quarter saw a continued momentum in our general trade channel, which grew in line
with organized trade with both channels delivering growth in strong 20s. This performance was
extremely broad-based with urban retail, wholesale, and rural delivering strong growth. Our
rural business, which recovered in H2 of last year, saw strong growth in this quarter and grew
in line with the urban.

Within the organized trade, both modern trade and e-commerce performed well with growth
coming across sub-channel and customers, with the exception of institutional business, which
was weak for us. Institutional business is less than 1% mix to the company. In international
business, we had a challenging year last year and I am happy to report that we have had a very,
very strong rebound.
While the current quarter performance is exponential on a weak base, what gives me great joy
is that we've been able to perform well across countries, which gives me not only confidence in
our ability but also in this channel's ability to continue to grow on a sustainable basis for us in
the future. Our key markets of Nepal and Bangladesh demonstrated continued double-digit
growth and margin improvement. MENA, which was challenged last year, delivered a very
strong growth and rest of world, which witnessed tariff and other related disruptions last year,
also rebounded back very strongly.
At a brand level, Almond Drop Hair Oil continues with its strong performance in this quarter as
well. We have delivered a low teen volume growth on an MLH adjusted basis. Just like previous
year and quarter, this growth came back on across of, you know, all the pack groups and all the
channels. While all pack groups have done well, what is really standout is small packs and the
sachet business, which has led this growth.
Overall, we continue to register positive movements across most consumer metrics also on this
brand. On a consolidated basis, our ASP for the quarter was up by 29% against the same period
last year. We continue to maintain a robust SOV-SOM ratio in the traditional media channel,
while we increasingly make shift towards various digital channels of communication. This
quarter also saw us investing significantly behind influencer-led marketing campaigns across all
digital, major digital platforms and we've received very positive consumer feedback on the same.
On the growth portfolio, which is a cluster of smaller brands, non-ADHO brands, which we have
a high growth aspiration against, performed well in the quarter, with the overall portfolio
growing high single-digit sequentially against the previous quarter and improving its run rate.
This growth came despite the value deflation in the coconut portfolio, which forms a large part
of this mix.
On the input costs, the war in Gulf has created extreme volatility in terms of petroleum-related
products like LLP and packaging material. It has also led inflationary trend in case of edible oils
like mustard and almond, which have not fallen from their historical prices even in the harvest
season like they used to do so previously.
To counter the impact of this inflation, we took selective pricing and ml-age reduction across
our portfolio. While from a supply chain perspective, we believe the worst is behind us, we do
have high-cost inventory in our system and the spot prices are also expected to cool sequentially
