I now hand the conference over to Mr. Manoj from ICICI Securities Limited. Thank you, and
over to you, Mr. Manoj.
Manoj: Hi, everyone. It's a wonderful good morning from the ICICI Securities research team. It's our
absolute pleasure, once again, to host the management of Bajaj Consumer Care for the quarterly
conference call.
The company is represented today by Mr. Naveen Pandey, Managing Director; Mr. Dilip Kumar
Maloo, Chief Financial Officer; Mr. Aakash Gupta, Head Finance. We continue to have a
constructive stance on the Bajaj business and the stock. Now over to the management for
opening remarks, post which we'll open the floor for Q&A. Thank you, and over.
Naveen Pandey: Thank you, Manoj, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to the quarter two FY24 call for
Bajaj Consumer Care. In the last quarter, we delivered a revenue of INR233 crores with a growth
of 2.7% against the same quarter last year. On margins, we delivered an EBITDA of INR53
crores with an EBITDA margin of 25%, and a PAT of INR70 crores with a PAT margin of 21%.
At the end of the first half of the year, our revenues are up 28% to INR674 crores. Our H1
EBITDA is INR167 crores, which is a growth of 85% over the previous H1. And our PAT is
INR141 crores, which is a 75% growth over the previous H1.
What I'm particularly happy about is that this performance came amidst a volatile and dynamic
business environment. And despite all the challenges, we've been able to deliver these very
strong set of numbers. In line with our commitment to strengthen our core, Almond Drops Hair
Oil continues with its strong performance in this quarter and has delivered double-digit unit
volume growth.
This growth came across pack groups and sales channels. And while all pack groups have done
well, the growth was particularly led by small and medium-sized packs, which outperformed the
overall brand. As part of our commitment to further strengthen Almond Drops franchise, we
launched the new enhanced positioning supported by our TV campaign based on hair strength
leading to beauty.
We have gone live with this campaign towards the end of the previous quarter. And in this
quarter, you will see this being supported by a 360-degree campaign with enhanced investments
and digital. This, for us, marks the start of reinvigoration and strengthening the premium position
of this brand, and you shall see more action on this front in the coming quarters.
Our consolidated A&P spend for the quarter were up 7% over the same period last year, and are
up 18% on H1 basis. We continue to maintain robust SOV/SOM ratios in traditional and digital

media, and we have carefully optimized the non-working A&P and reworked our media
operating cycles to create some spend efficiencies.
As we move to the growth portfolio, the coconut franchise delivered a strong volume growth
across channels. This quarter also saw the relaunch and new launches in the several of the growth
portfolio's smaller brands. In amla oils, we have refined the consumer proposition and are testing
the new mix in general trade. In body lotion, we have upgraded both the product and packaging,
and will test it on e-commerce. In Banjara's, we have introduced packs that extend the brand into
large adjacent categories, which could offer significant growth potential for us if we are
successful.
At an overall level, we have substantially improved the profitability of the growth portfolio and
remain committed to building it into a second growth engine for the organization, both in terms
of revenue and margins.
This quarter saw continued momentum in our general trade channel, which grew in line with
organized trade, and both channels delivered growth in the strong mid-20s. Within GT, both
urban and rural business performed well, with rural continuing to grow marginally ahead of
urban. Within organized trade, both modern trade and e-commerce performed well, with growth
coming across sub-channels and customers. Quick-comm continued its scale-up and remains the
fastest-growing sub-channel for us.
In this quarter, we have also come close to completing our immediate objectives under the
Project Aarohan, which has been a massive effort from our sales team over the past eight
quarters. Spread across three phases, we covered GTM transformation across 13 key states.
We've been able to add over 1 lakh outlets, a 1,000-plus distribution points, and have been able
to close over 600 van routes, achieving an expansion in direct reach and a reduction in fixed
S&D cost.
While the work of infra-addition for this stage is largely done, our teams will continue to drive
efficiency and attempt to improve throughput in these outlets in the balance of the year. But our
work here is not over, as we will quickly move to Aarohan 2.0. In Aarohan 2.0, we will focus
all our energies on expansion of our direct reach in urban by 10%, and in rural -- by more than
that over the next six quarters.
In international business, the rebound which we saw in quarter 1 continues in quarter 2, and we
have performed well across country clusters. This channel for the full H1 has grown ahead of
the company growth, and except for Bangladesh, most of our other key markets individually
have also grown ahead of the company average. Bangladesh is witnessing a tough operating
environment and grew in the teens.
Our international business is also improving a sharp improvement in profitability. And on the
back of revenue scale-up, margin correction, and cost optimization, we are delivering a good
improvement in the EBITDA margins of this channel.

On the overall margin front, this quarter witnessed continued volatility in key raw material prices
due to the West Asia war, edible oil inflation, and the cascading impact of these two things. Our
gross margins for the quarter were at 59.9%, and overall for the first half of the year at 60.8%.
